Great was my Joy

Two years ago I entered the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Prove, Utah. I remember that day; excited and ready to start livin' my dream of 12 years. Not knowing what to expect and already loving the people of Germany with all my heart. Did I think at that point that I would master speaking the German language? Nope, I was far from thinking that and I now looking back. . . It was a miracle.

Since today is my two year mark from entering the MTC, that means that today also marks the day I have been home from my mission for 6 months. It was my hardest goodbye. I love the people of Germany so much and would do anything to go back and serve them over and over again. My love for them is unlike any love I could possibly describe. I love them and want them to know I love them and miss them with all my heart.

I served the Lord with all that I had. I saw miracles everyday and I saw lives change and come unto Christ. I saw the power of the Devil and saw how faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can over power Satan's power any day and and any time. I mourned with those that mourned. I rejoiced with those that rejoiced. I comforted those in need of comfort. I taught the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and helped them receive it through Faith in Jesus Christ, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and Enduring to the end. I know this to the be the true Church restored through a prophet called of God. I know the Book of Mormon to be true and is another Testament of Jesus Christ with the Bible. I know that families can and will be together forever and I know that there is a life after this one and everyone has a chance to return back to our Heavenly Father. I love him with all my heart and I know that he loves me. Through my work, Great was his Joy and Great was mine.
