Leaders Counsel

New companion! Elder Fanene, who thought it was a good idea to put us back together! I sure do love when God makes your dreams happen! Fanene and Porter round 2! This week was a whole lot of amazing interactions with President. Interviews were awesome. I want to testify of the significants of priesthood keys. Our priesthood leaders receive such specific revelation for those in their stewardship. In an interview with president we were talking and he asked: "When was the last time you read 2 Nephi 4?" He encouraged me to go back and read it. So I followed his counsel and the next couple days spent studying it and it totally changed me. It helped me in ways I didn't know I needed helped, the spirit confirmed to my heart again the Book of Mormon is true, and it was an injection of spiritual strength. I know if we will follow our priesthood leaders we will be blessed in so many ways we don't expect and even in ways, they don't expect.  
Friends and Family, I know that Christ's church has been restored to the earth. It is built upon Prophets and Apostles and because of that, we receive continual guidance on how we can become more like our Savior. I have seen the blessings in my life as I have followed the prophet's counsel and have seen the lack of blessings when I have strayed from it. I pray each of us may know and then follow the direction of our current Prophet and Apostles as well as our General and Local leaders too. Something a lady shared in her testimony and I echo "I know that church is just an avenue to live the doctrine of Christ." It's not about the organization its self, but it is about living the principles Christ taught and living them in the way he asked us to do it. That is possible because of His organized Church.  
I love you all. How great is it to know we are all brothers and sisters as children of God. Let us serve each other, laugh with another, and smile lots this week.
