Prophesy Fulfilled!

And I quote my mission president, in a letter to my parents:

With regard to his luggage he is currently on the west coast of Ireland so this would represent a long journey to get to him. It is very likely that he will be transferred in a couple of weeks' time but at this stage I have no idea where he will be. It could be anywhere in Scotland or Ireland – however I can say that it will not be Lisburn because that is currently a sister area and we have no elders there.

And I quote my mission president, from this last moves call: 'You will be whitewashing Lisburn, with Elder Blosil.' When I told him I was floored, he asked why. 'Well, 1) it was my dream to whitewash these last two moves, 2) I love Elder Blosil - I served as his district leader, and 3) IT'S LISBURN!!!' He didn't get the last one. I reminded him of my lineage and of the above email. In shock, he replied '...I had completely forgotten! This is miraculous for me, Elder Black, and a real testimony builder for me!' We were pretty excited about it. :)

Well, this time in Sligo has been amazing. Miraculous. There's a mural on the side of a building that says "Sligo sets your spirit free". Never before in my life have I felt so close to God, been led by the spirit, and seen the gifts of the spirit manifest. I testify that all the gifts of the spirit are real - that they have not stopped in these latter days. I know that God lives, and talks to us. I know revelation through prayer is real - that God can literally talk to us in our minds and hearts (as well as with our physical senses). Dreams are inspired of God, and if we turn to Him, He can reveal their meaning to us. The gift of prophesy is real. Of this I am certain.

Of these things I am certain.

God lives. He loves us, and wants you all to know that with your hearts, not merely your minds. You can feel this love if you turn to Him in prayer, and turn yourself over to Him, trusting in His loving corrections.

Love you all. :) See you soon!
