Dear Family,
I had a really good week. It sounds like you are were really busy.
I got a lot of missionary work done this week, as usual. On Tuesday, I had Zone Leaders Council. All the Zone Leaders in the Mission meet at President's House for a meeting. There are only 15 of Us, so it's a really personal meeting.
The spirit was really strong the whole time. It's amazing how the Lord can so easily inspire us in those meetings. Because the spirit was so strong I was able to see, in vision, what the Lord needed done and expected out of My Zone.
Well, we had 4 baptisms in our Zone this week and I feel it was a direct result of the decision We made, as a Zone, to sanctify Ourselves so that this could be a place where the Lord can work his miracles.
I really love this work, and I'm so into it. I love the vision and focus that has become a part of My life here. There is no greater work than bringing souls to Christ. Yesterday I called and received calls from about 3 of My Converts. Oh how I love hearing them tell me what they learned in Church that day, and how their callings are going, and how they can't wait to go on Temple Trips, or serve Missions. There is Nothing that this world can offer that is as satisfying as hearing the sweet prayer of a convert over the telephone at night.
Can I do this forever please?.................................
Love,
Elder Josh Smith
