Daily Miracles

Hey everyone,

 

I can't believe that I have been on my misson for a year now. It has been the busiest, scariest, and by far the happiest year of my life. I never imagined what a mission would be like, so when I came everything was a shocker. A new culture, new friends, funny accents, it all was overwhelming. But looking back at it now, it was exactly what I needed. I needed to be humbled a bit so that I could learn to rely upon the Lord for anything. And this past year I have had to do that a lot. My testimony and understanding of the gosple has grown 20 fold. There is a quote in Preach My Gosple that says true docterine taught will change attitude faster than anything. I have seen a really change in myself, in the way I act around others, the things I think about, and many other things. I have a testimony that the Lord is preparing people for me and other missionaries to teach. Just this week I had the privilage of watchin one of my friends get baptised. And it was amazing to see her after church on Sunday. Knowing that she has the gift of the Holy Ghost now, and that she has made an important decision in following her Saviour. I know that I am suppose to be here in the England Manchester Mission. I have seen not just others lifes change but my own as well. I know that this next year will bring any of the same experiences that will try my faith and I will get to see the Lord's hand in it all. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. As I have studied from it daily, I have seen my understanding grow. How great it is that God loves us today and that we have a living prophet in Thomas S. Monson. I know that as we head to his council we will be strenghthened through any trials we may face. I love the gosple and can't imagine my life without it.

 

I hope that this explains how I feel right now, I love you all
