5 Months out!

Dear Family and Friends,

This week has been great! Full of many little miracles!!
   We went on exchanges with our Zone Leaders on Wednesday after
District Meeting. I went to the Ypsilanti South area with Elder
Iverson, and Elder Kay came here to Brighton with Elder Hatch. I
learned a lot from Elder Iverson, he is a great missionary! I learned
a lot about my role as a District Leader and how I can better magnify
this position of trust that has been given to me!
  On Friday I got a call from our Zone Leaders asking me to give an
instruction on Revelation Through Prayer at Zone Meeting this
Wednesday. I felt pretty unqualified and inadequate to give a 10
minute instruction on that to our whole Zone (about 24-30
missionaries), but I prayed for inspiration and revelation from my
Heavenly Father concerning the matter. Not 5-Minutes later, I
uncovered a talk on the top shelf in our storage closet by Elder
Richard G. Scott entitled: "How to Obtain Personal Revelation and
Inspiration in Your Personal Life." There was a fast answer to a
prayer! Haha it is the perfect talk for my instruction. I had no idea
it was there before, I was just moving something from the shelf and
found the talk underneath it. Later Friday evening we helped out in
making 1500 sandwiches at the Church building for an event in the
Brighton area called Community Connect! We got to deliver them to the
place as well, and the people were so grateful for our service and the
food, it was a great experience.
  Sunday was amazing. We fasted and asked for an increased portion of
the Spirit to be with us while we were at Church and then attended
Adrian's baptism, and that prayer was answered!! When Adrian stepped
down into the font about to be washed clean of all his sins and
mistakes in his life, I felt the Spirit confirm to me so strongly that
he really was entering into a covenant with our Heavenly Father, and
that the Priesthood of God has been restored to the Earth through the
Prophet Joseph Smith. It was just a great week, I love the mission
life!
   I know this Gospel is true and that anyone can receive that witness
from God themselves if they just study, and ask in prayer. Read the
Book of Mormon! It will draw us nearer to God than by any other book.
I know these things to be true and say that in the name of Jesus
Christ, amen.

-Elder Goff
