I can be a Missionary NOW!

I just read an email from {my cousin}Nicholas who is serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Taiwan in the BeiTou Ward and would like to share some thoughts about what he wrote.   "We've been real busy lately, with lots of lessons.  Our area has really been blessed.  You know, we don't really know why, why this is all happening right now.  I wish we could find out how, and try and have that all the time, that we can always see this much success.  We're always working on it.  我是奇蹟之神"

I was blessed to have the opportunity to go with Brett and 2 Elders in our ward to meet with a charming woman who is investigating the church.  It was a nice meeting where I felt the Holy Spirit more than once.  She is having challenges in the area of prayer, which has helped me realize what a valuable tool I have, PRAYER!  I believe that God is my Father in Heaven, the literal Father of my spirit and that He hears and answers my prayers.  He doesn't answer them in the way or timeliness that I would always want, but He does in fact answer them!  I am striving to make my prayers more frequent and sincere!  I think I often stew over things and worry about things that are mostly out of my control.  I need to trust my Father in Heaven to take these burdens from me, as I pray and read the Word of God!

Our Elders told us that the missionary work around here is on fire!  I think it is on fire everywhere and I think there are more people looking for the fulness of the Truth that our Father has made available for us to receive and share in this last dispensation of times.  I think there are more people sharing the gospel with their friends.  Consider everyone!  I am going to make a more valiant effort to introduce the gospel to those around me and let them decide if they want to know more.
