Our Separation from Heavenly Father

As I mentioned before, I learn a lot from conference, so many of my next posts maybe about conference and things I learned. Elder Holland gave a beautiful talk on angels and how Heavenly Father can provide angels (living or not) that can help us in our times of need. He said the when Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden they were separated from God. I was thinking about that and how hard it must have been for them to be separated from the Father that they had communed with so freely before. I am sure He observed their struggle and that is why he provided so many ways for them and us to feel close to Heavenly Father on earth. We were given prayer, so that we can tell Him what we need or how we feel and we can get promptings and revelations from him on what we should do or have feelings of comfort. We were also given messengers in the form of prophets, teachers, and leaders to help guide us. This is just another testament to me that He loves us.
