Family,
Depending
on when your reading this. Either your crying because of the other paper, or you
will be shortly. The letter on the other paper is to no one specifically more to just write it down, almost a
journal entry kind of but I feel prompted to share it+ share the truth a pray
and how amazing the spirit and blessings are in the MTC and as a missionary.
Hopefully
you can read the hand writing . I wouldn’t want you to miss out because of it.
Anyway please read it .Its
awesome. If your reading this after, feel free to share with anyone. I know mom
will or if maybe if someone needs some extra push + faith buster to pray +
receive an answer.
Receiving
an answer is not always a still small voice. Sometimes its strong like the
feeling of the UPS man, or its an answer by reseiving a small package.
Physical, spiritual, or emotional I know the lord answers prayers and I love
him so much.

Quickly before I forget do you guys have a large german map
and or flag? You guys need them by October 9.
It
will be really quiet when the older districts leave. We love the older group,
especially the sisters. We are taking a picture with the three sisters because
we are the best + their favorite district. They are awesome.
Im writing so I don’t forget this amazing story and I want
you to know of the power of prayer. Elder Y is a great missionary. I love him so much, we all do. The first week
or two or three, though he didn’t receive any support via mail. He had not
received a package until yesterday. Elder Y is a strong elder physically,
spiritually, + emotionally, however after all the letters, packages+ support we
all get, you could tell he was starting to feel bummed. We a felt bad + didn’t
want anymore letters until he got more. We wanted him to be happy. One
elder,elder H,was smart enough+ started to pray for Elder Y. He prayed every
night, that Elder Y would receive a package + more mail. Finally a package
came.Also he got a package from a man he did not know.Reading the letter inside
the package we figured out that it is from a man who has no connections to any
of us, or Elder Y. This man is from the UPS store where Elder H is from. Elder
H’s mother was mailing a package to elder Y to cheer him up because she heard
from Elder H that he was feeling down.
So
this man,who is alone near closing time at the UPS store in pleasant grove,utah
after siter H had left, had an overwhelming feeling to write elder Y. He
actually answered the spirits prompting vocally in the store”I Will!” In the
letter from this man he explains everything I just wrote, and his testimony of
the importance of a mission + how hard it can be. We just need to trust in the
lord he said. He only had 1 baptism in his 2 years. And he didn’t even get to
do it. Another elder did. However
he said the entire 2 years was
worth it. Needless to say after Elder Y read that , we were all crying. And
then Elder H explained I wrote, that he prayed for Elder Y. He then bore his
testimony of the power of prayer and that heavenly father answeres us if we
have faith.
I
know that if I need anything, prayer is the answer. Funny thing is that we are teaching
our investigator about getting answers from from god + we prayed to know how to
help her. Well heavenly father answered multiple prayers with a simple package
from a random UPS worker to of our elders. The spirit is os strong and I love
the lord so much. We then remembered that Missionaries are prayed for nearly
140 times an hour, because of all the temples. We feel so blesses and so
honored to be serving the lord by being a missionary. I love the lord. I really
do. Sometimes I don’t realize how blessed I am. Thank you ,lord. Thank You.
Ok so to add more onto this all.
Today we are all so tired today! The spirit all day has drained us. We all
agreed, the letter today, was the most spiritual experience we have had outside
the temple. For me it’s THE most spiritual experience. Also later as a class we
were reading the BoM. The spirit was so stronng and all we had time to read was
1 nephi 3:1-15 in 15 verses and 45 minutes we felt the spirit so strong. Crazy.
Love elder ustach
