Interviews

Dear, Family

 This week has been very blessed. We had the wonderful opportunity to go down to Burpengary to have Zone Conference and Interviews. This was very powerful and has taught me so much. My testimony of the Prophet Joseph Smith as grown so much I know that he is a prophet!!! Did you know that the book of Mormon in the total space of 60 day that the book of Mormon was translated. Thats about 10 pages a day! The evidence that prove that he is a prophet of God is just so great. I know that there are many falsehood spread about the prophet. but that this evidence that Moroni is a prophet He said that Good and evil would be said about him. But I know that he is good! I also had a very tender mercies from our Heavenly Father. I the morning of Interviews had the question come to mind that I've had for nearly 21 months. Why was I called to each of my Areas I just didn't know. I was thinking and getting frustrated. But as we went in for interviews. President Henderson and I knelt down he offered the prayer and in it he expressed his love and asked that I would be blessed. As we sat down he just kind of out of nowhere Said " You have been used on the mission like a weapon. To help the companions you have been with to be the best they can be.... You don't know the fruits of you labors but they are great" I was a bit taken back and just so grateful for Heavenly Father Answering my Question. But I have just been filled with clarity and understanding because of that. I know that God Answers our prayers We must develop the attribute of Patience and longsuffering. We must learn to accept the will of God and Continue in Faith! I know God lives and his love for us is pure and perfect. No matter what we have done he is our Father!!! He is Just but he is O so merciful!
