Sterlings Mission Letters Home

Dear, Family 

 This week has been alright I've been sick with a virus my throat has been killing me and I've had sinus issues and killer migraines. Transfers are April 7th so hopefully I will get transferre
. I love the member and the people, but it's just such a small area and I'm board of it. It's about the size of Middle Canyon Elementary to Copper Canyon Elementary and all those neighbourhoods in between that might be a bit big still.  But I did have a really cool spiritual witness happen to me. We had dinner over at one of Bellbird Parks Members home and he served his mission in Salt Lake City, UT. He had the opportunity to meet Boyd K. Packer and Packer shared his experience of being called into the quorum of the twelve. Packer was saying that he didn't feel worthy or good enough to fulfil this calling. So what President Packer did is he 

went to the temple Early that morning to Pray. He was sitting in the room where his setting apart was going to take place and after he had finished his pray he looked around the room and was just pondering. When he had noticed something very unique. So for a the setting apart there was the first presidency and then the rest of the quorum of the twelve. But as Packer counted the chairs that were set up he saw that there were 4 chairs in front and then 12 chairs on the other side. When I was listening to this brother tell me this the spirit strongly, but quietly told me who that extra chair is for. I know we are lead and guided by the saviour he is at the head of this church! I know that our Saviour lives. I know that he was resurrected and rose again! This church will never lead us astray It is the light by which we need to follow to obtain exaltation and eternal life. It's through the guidance and counsel given to us by the prophet and his apostles that we are to heed and follow. Prepare your self for General Conference as we prepare ourselves and learn by faith. Which means we need to be willing to act upon the prompting given to us by the spirit. I promise you family that as you spend time to listen and spiritually obtain understand and knowledge this conference that you will have an increase of faith and understanding of gods will and counsel for you. I Love you all so much! I know that this church is true! I may not understand all things, but I have received a witness from the spirit that has testified to me the truthfulness of his works.

              Love,
