[MUSIC PLAYING]
Everyone feels alone at some point in their lives,
or lots of times, I think.
What's really helped me is just knowing that even when
we're not there physically or anything like that, like,
we're always there for each other.
I know I can always rely on them.
And more than anything, I'm never actually alone,
because I always have God too.
And so I think that He's just really our rock.
And we're just the little rocks around Him, too,
to just build each other up and be that help, because there
are days that you do feel alone or it's hard.
But it's really nice to have not only God
but people that can help you.
Yeah.
As cliche as it sounds, it really
is something where it's like the little things like the sun just
on your face.
And you're, like, that's God right there helping me.
Yeah.
And actually, I don't know if this happens to you guys,
but when we are apart, I feel like you guys are still with
me, because I just--I constantly look back to old memories,
and I just start cracking up out of nowhere.
I'm like, oh.
I think we're just always together,
and so you just, like, always reflect back
to something funny or weird we did, like, the day before.
I remember when Seli went on her mission, it was so hard for me.
I had Desi, and we're all best friends,
but I had to fall asleep every single night to our
"Come Thou Fount/If You Could Hie to Kolob."
Like that's weird that I listened to ourselves,
but not to listen to myself; it was for them.
And I just felt, like, connected to them again.
So that was nice.
I think it's hard being alone.
Like, going back to that concept is we really
rely so much on each other.
And we love each other, but we did
have to go through a period of time
learning to rely on ourselves, just by ourselves, like, us
and God.
But I think sometimes when you're not
used to that relationship, just you and God, you
don't know what to do.
You don't know that He's there.
You don't know how to recognize Him.
And so those service missions we did helped a lot.
But also just going different paths in our lives:
different colleges, different schools, being married.
We're going to keep finding moments where we're going
to be alone and not together.
And I think that the cool thing is even though we've all
experienced who we want to be when we're alone,
we come together and it's in harmony.
And we find that we complement each other with the people
that we want to become.
We don't just want to be this group forever.
We are three independent people that
just want to grow closer to God and find
our purpose that He has for us.
While we were alone, I remember that I was like, OK,
you know what?
I'm going to write a song.
Because I had tried so hard my whole life,
and it just was never coming.
And I remember I just knelt down.
And I was just like, I remember that scripture
that says if ye ask, believing ye can receive, you will.
So I was like, OK, I'm just going to have a lot of faith
right now.
And I was like, "Heavenly Father, please, I just
really want to write a song that can help people
through these times."
And it came to my mind, one of my favorite chapters
in the scriptures, 2 Nephi 4.
And I just read through that.
And I was like, Man, I'm not the best with words,
but these words are great.
So I was, like, Let's use these.
And I just I don't know how, but I came up with a song
in like an hour.
And I was, like, I guess that's when you know it was not me,
because I would have never done it on my own.
But I wrote a song.
And it's called "Awake My Soul."
And my sisters help me sing it.
So we can sing that for you guys.
Great.
Yeah.
Sweet.
[MUSIC - ELENYI, "AWAKE MY SOUL"]
(SINGING) I write the things of my soul,
so easily beset by my flesh and my sins.
My heart is sorrowing.
I'm encompassed.
Why am I so weak?
Awake my soul.
No longer droop in sin.
He'll make me whole, the Rock of my salvation.
Rejoice, O heart of mine.
Ooo.
He has filled me with His love, confounded all my enemies
and led me through the dark.
He gave His life for me.
I'll always be in debt to Him.
I'll praise Him on my knees.
I give my life to Him, yes, every broken piece.
Take and mold my heart.
Awake my soul.
No longer droop in sin.
He'll make me whole, the Rock of my salvation.
Rejoice, O heart of mine.
Rejoice.
I know who I have trusted and forever I'll be His.
Awake my soul.
No longer droop in sin.
Oh, make me whole, the Rock of my salvation.
Rejoice, O heart of mine.
Awake my soul.
No longer droop in sin.
He'll make me whole.
The rock of my salvation.
Rejoice, O heart of mine.
