Power or Prayer

This week we were really busy. We went to Seoul and back twice. Took a total of over 14 hours of travel. I'm tired. But it was good. We had Mission Leadership Council, where they trained us on the new focus for the month, which is revelation through prayer. On Saturday, we had a mission conference for the Korean Thanksgiving, Chuseok. Guess who I saw? (see attached picture - look familiar?)

Our zone went to the Seoul Tower, it was a lot of fun.

We then had Zone Training meeting where we then conveyed the focus for the month to our zone. It was a good meeting. I love the focus of prayer. Our zone is really special. It's the biggest zone in the mission, geographically, and one of the smallest, missionary-wise. There are only 18 of us, and we're over an hour and a half to two hours apart from each other, but our zone is really close. There's a special spirit of unity in this zone that you can't find anywhere else. I felt that as we taught our zone about prayer. We asked our zone if they would pray daily for the other missionaries' investigators.

We showed the Mormon Message about Annie, who had liver failure. There's power in prayer, especially in groups. I know that God hears prayers, and He answers them. Last week I learned the truthfulness of the phrase, 'seek and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you.' If we search for spiritual experiences, answers to questions, charity, forgiveness, whatever it is we search for, we will find it if we petition our Father in Heaven. How comforting it is to know that a perfect, loving Father in Heaven watches over us, and has a plan for us, for our happiness?

The gospel brings so much peace into my life, and I've received this knowledge through prayer. If you ever have any doubts, questions, or concerns, turn to your Father in Heaven. He knows, and he won't leave you alone.
