Answered Prayers


Mom & Dad,

Thank you so much for everything you two do for me. This past week was tough but I read your guys' letters each time I needed a little encouragement. The things you two wrote and sent me were inspired. The advice to pray harder is something that has brought me closer to the Lord and I really feel he is listening and giving me answers, sometimes through others. You two have answered my prayers also. I want you to know that I am doing everything I can to make you proud. I am being obedient, working my tail off, and trying to have a positive impact on everyone around me. It is much more tiring than I had ever predicted this to be, but it is very rewarding also. I know that I was called to serve by the Lord. Yesterday, when we were teaching, it was confirmed to me again how true the Gospel is. I feel like I have said it before, but it is something that reveals itself little by little, then "boom" it hits you again. I love this whole mission thing. I literally feel like the most blessed person ever to have the family I have, the Gospel and the opportunity to serve. Thanks for everything, I love you two, Elder Scott Stiles
