Return to the Land of My Forefathers

Very quick. No, I did not get transfered. I simply was on exchange for a few days and spent some time in the town where my polish family comes from. Long story short the first person I spoke with was a drunk homeless man that accused us of being russian spies. The second person I spoke with was a young searchinng mother with her young daughter playing in the park who turned out to be one of my distant cousins. It was an incredible miracle and we had a great discusssion. We felt a kinly bond immediately and it was the same feellings that we feel when we stop and thinkk that we are all truly brothers and sisters, children of our Heavenly Father. She invited me back when I am next in the area to meet with the family and discusss more about the plan. This plan is so true. God is real. Christ lives and his church in perfectness is restored once again upon the Earth.

Well, Have a lot to say but I will keep it short. My mission is a miracle. 

Lots of our investigators are making progress, and I am humbled at the miracle of change the Atonement makes possible. It has been neat to help the Branch president out in the reactivation of a few of the young solid priesthood holders.

Something exciting, I am now in a state to take the gospel to my long lost relatives from my polish line. I will be visiting the city from where my polish ancestors emigrated from and while be opening of some new doors and connections to the church with important people there while also be searching out my relatives.

It has been neat to come to know the mind of the Lord as I humbly sincerely pray for guidance and strength, study the Book of mormon, deeply ponder and pleadingly, desperately pray, then get up and work according to the answers he gives. Heavenly Father talks to his children today each one personally as we come unto him in sincere humilty. Of that I bear solemn testimony :)  Please pray for me to have the spirit and to follow the voice and will of the Lord. Thank you and I love you all
