Berlin Again

Monday night we stayed in Merzahn with Elder Glissmeyer and 10 other elders in a tiny apartment in the ghetto of Berlin. A night to not be forgotten! Elder Oliphant was also there!

This zone conference was also our last time with President and Sister Kosak. President’s last testimony was simply about the Restoration, the magnitude of it, and why we are here to share it with all our heart, might, mind, and strength (D&C:4). He also shared his deep and profound love for our Prophet Joseph Smith. I also have this love for Joseph Smith, he had a purpose, and he was well aware of the consequences, but he also had a perspective, an ETERNAL PERSPECTIVE. With an eternal perspective we have no reason to fear or doubt. Unfortunately that doesn’t make life always easy, but that’s okay because without the bad, we wouldn’t know good, and that wouldn’t be much fun right? (I like to have fun)

I hope that this week we can always remember the Eternal Perspective and remember the Prophet Joseph Smith.
