Week 13

Justin is serving in Monroe and was having a good week.  He is getting along with his companion and they are working hard.  He is getting over a cold and says he is feeling more like himself.  He shared with us his small miracle for the week......On Fast Sunday I fast for  more team ups for our ward, because we don't have a car and we have a lot of gators, and the Lord answered that prayer and a bunch of people signed up, it was amazing to see how much the Lord loves and blesses us.  And how aware he is of us.  I think that is what I have learned the most on my mission, is really who I am and why I am here and how important the people of Georgia are to our Father in Heaven and how much I actually care about these people.  I care so much about their salvation and I don't even know them.  It reminds me of the story of Enos a little bit, I just have that desisre to help them come closer.  He closed his email this week with his testimony.....I know that God is our Father in heaven and that he loves us.  I know that Jesus is the Christ and that he suffered for our sins, that through him we might be saved.  I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God.  I recently finished it again and I don't have a doubt in my mind that it was true.  I know that Joseph Smith was called of God. And that families can be together forever...I know that I will see Grandma again and that makes this world worthwhile...having that knowledge.  I know that one day I will see my Heavenly Father and I pray that when that day comes that he will rejoice in what I've done in this life.  In the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.

It is awesome to see the growth in Justin and to know that he is doing his best.
