We’ve all had situations where we feel like we weren’t the best version of ourselves. The beautiful thing is that the Savior can always help us to become better. On today’s episode of Changing, Donald talks with podcaster and BYU-Idaho student, Noah Forero. Noah shares a personal experience about how he has been able to see the Savior through interacting with others. 

Noah’s experience

• Noah and his close friend moved to California together and started selling insulation door to door. 
• Because of the pandemic they moved back to Idaho and he realized that they started to grow apart from each other. 
• Noah felt guilty because he wasn’t being the friend he knew he knew he needed to be. He felt fake, and thought that his friend must have felt the same way about him. 

How did Noah reconcile? 

• Noah heard a quote from a church leader that says “The more people you connect with, the more you see the Savior”. He realized that his own negative thoughts had not allowed him to see his friend for who he truly was.
• Noah noticed he was putting up walls between himself and his friend. Noah eventually was able to put aside his negative thoughts and reconnected with his friend. 
• No matter what we have done in the past, with the Savior, we can always change and move forward. 

What is Noah's advice to others in similar situations?

• He wants to acknowledge that it is really hard. 
• Progress happens with action, faith, and trust. If you are able to trust in the Savior moving forward, He will give you the support you need.
