Buenas tardes a todos! This week was really good! We got to see Elder Anderson and talk with him and shake his hand so that was awesome! I actually had a pretty cool experience at the conference. Pretty much changed my life. So lately I have been kinda having a hard time. I haven't been doubting the truthfulness of anything. But I have been doubting the strength of my own personal knowledge and testimony of the gospel. And I have been feeling like my testimony wasn't quite up to par I guess you could say. I don't know if I explained myself well, so don't assume anything haha. I'm not good at putting my feelings and thoughts into words. Anyway, at the conference, everything I have had on my mind for the last little while was resolved. Everything I was worried about and constantly thinking about was put at ease. Something he said that has just been running through my mind constantly since the conference is this, "Be patient with yourself, and be patient with your faith. Everything you know will be verified." One thing he told us to do was to go through and make a list of all the aspects of the gospel that we believed were true and to write why. And also all the aspects we hoped were true. So during my studies the other day I did that. And I realized that, yeah maybe don't have a rock solid testimony about every single aspect of the gospel, but the list of things that I do know was WAY longer than the other list. And as I thought, and prayed about everything that he talked about, my mind was put at ease. During the whole conference I literally felt as if he had read my mind, and then just told me what to do. It was pretty much amazing. Changed my life. I don't know if this email even makes sense or not, so if not, I apologize. haha Something Elder Anderson said that has just been running through my mind constantly since the conference is this, "Be patient with yourself, and be patient with your faith. Everything you know will be verified." Anyway, it helped me a ton. I know without a doubt that Elder Anderson and the other 12 apostles are truly men called of God. I prayed to have an experience that would solidify my testimony of that, and well, it happened. I love my mission, and I love this gospel. I hope you all have a great week! Love you! Elder Zev Harman
