Officially interviewd by an apostle

Well, well! Dale G. Renlund (new apostle) is the one that interviewed
me back in March! I remember he taught me about patience. Pretty
legit!

I loved conference, it's like Christmas for missionaries! Henry B.
Eyrings talk was stellar! I got a few impressions I wanted to share.
There is no mortal man that is so much interested in the success of an
elder when he is preaching the gospel as the Lord that sent him to
preach to the people who are the Lord’s children”-Lorenzo Snow
-The Lord is interested in My success. Go figure right? This is the
drive I get, the stirring motions I feel, when I see a child of God in
my midst and the Restored Gospel is on the for-front of my mind and
heart. That is the Lords interests, he Atoned for that persons sins,
he knows that persons heart just as much as he knows my heart, and he
will testify with me as I bear record of him!  I want to talk to them
because he expects me to, but further more, I should want to talk to
them because HE loves them, just as he loves ME, he wants that person
to come unto him, and I am the only tool that qualifies for the work.
How great is my calling.

As I reflected on the words that were spoken in General Conference, i
sought revelation in many different subjects. One in particular was
following the spirit, the desire to do so, the courage to act, and the
meaning behind it. I'm happy to say that the spirit taught me a great
deal while President Eyring spoke in the afternoon session on Sunday.
The spirit whispered: "Only through the Holy Ghost can you see people
as God sees them!!"
"The influence of the Holy Ghost can help you obtain the gift of
discernment, the talent and opportunity to lift others spiritually and
emotionally, and to see people as they really are. Compassion will
follow for your fellow beings, and you will be able to help them."

We found a guy from Sudan! He has a family of 10! He is inviting them
to sit in on our next visit! Holy Moses! We are excited!

We had a pretty great mission conference, I attached a video of us
singing "called to serve" to some members as a thank you for preparing
a lunch for us! Excuse my terrible singing
