A quick guide to find strength through service and the help of others
Where to turn
No matter our situation, we can turn to loving family members, friends, people within BYU-Pathway Worldwide, church leaders, ministering brothers or sisters, and so forth. It can be helpful to check in with someone we trust frequently by sharing our progress and goals as we move forward. If we need an extra lift, we can try asking them for help to accomplish those goals.
If we ever find ourselves lacking support, we can make new connections. Making connections allows us to know who we can turn to as challenges come our way. Whether it’s meeting people at a gathering, in the community, or at church, developing relationships will help us grow our support circle.
BYU-Pathway also provides many different forms of support. We can turn to members in our gatherings, missionaries, or instructors. For all students, missionaries and instructors are there to help us reach our educational and spiritual goals. Just as we can turn to our friends, we can turn to the BYU-Pathway community as well.
Many of us want to help others when they’re going through a hard time, and other people want the same for us. It may be difficult to recognize this at times, but when we ask, we can receive the help we need.
With service comes joy
Another great way to find support through hard times is by serving others. It may seem contrary to serve when we ourselves are in need of service, but reaching out in love provides many blessings. One blessing is the friends we make along the way.

Relationships are so important in our lives! It’s our connection with and support for each other that helps us get through hard things like completing assignments, balancing commitments, or supporting a family. There are many difficult circumstances we might experience, but they become easier when we turn to our friends.
