More priceless words from Brother Holliday

This is from my favorite institute teacher ever. He always knows what to say.
Jenn,
I am sorry to hear about your latest disappointment. I know it is discouraging.
One of your many strengths is that you are cheery by nature and never stay down for long. Its is one of the things that makes you attractive to a wide variety of people. Even losers are attracted by individuals with your level of attributes.
So use your strength. Get the tears out if necessary and then cinch up and move on. The Lord knows your heart and will still lead you. After all He just eliminated another loser from your life and prevented you from making learning about it after it was too late to easily back out. See that as a sign that He knows your heart and is watching out for you. In time you will look back and be so grateful.
Consider getting a blessing from your bishop and listen carefully to what is said. Then go forward with faith and let the Spirit help you discern the losers before you invest too much of your heart.
You are a wonderful and beautiful person and I am proud to know you.
David Holliday
