I love that I'm a representative of Jesus Christ

Another week down and I'm pretty much half way through my time here at the MTC. It's safe to say that I can't wait to get out to Poland, I'm literally so excited to get there, just 4 and a half weeks to go now! To say I've already been here for a month is pretty crazy, but I really am loving every minute of it. I love that I'm a representative of Jesus Christ, in everything that I do and say I stand as a witness of Him, it really gives me confidence to know that he is with me until the end. 

This week has been filled with so many good experiences, but in particular I've just been filled with gratitude for the prophet Joseph Smith, I have felt again and again that he truly did restore the gospel of Jesus Christ to the earth, and he really did see god the father and his son Jesus Christ. My favourite thought from this week was shared in a devotional on Tuesday. The first words that were spoken by heavenly father in the grove of trees were "Joseph, this is my Beloved Son, hear him!" Despite all that was to follow, we see that first and foremost this was an answer to a humble and sincere prayer from God. It was the beginning of a great and marvellous time, but it shows us that Heavenly father knows us by name, he cares for us and he answers our prayers, he knows our hearts and our desires, he knows our sorrows and our pains. This truth applies to all people, heavenly father knows you and he loves you. 

On another note, my Polish is improving. It's a slow progress but its progress nonetheless so I can't complain. I can testify of my Saviour and the restoration and the plan of salvation so I should be okay. I miss you all and I'll speak soon.
