July 16

so this week (past 7 days or so) has been good, I was having a bit of a hard time over the last week with the language because we're starting to get into Cases, (in this Case senario) in the language and it's very hard. speaking about the subject of the sentence vs talking about the direct object of a sentence is very different. anyway, I was having a hard time and felt like my prayers were not being answered the ways I wanted/hoped they would be answered, and then on tuesday night, a counselor from my Branch Presidency came in to our class during personal study and told us that he wanted to interview us, he started with me, and I walked into the other room with him. "how's this week been, Elder Dean?" he asked me, I paused and thought for a moment, for, my Prayers HAD been answered, simply with thoughts and impressions of, "you're at the MTC, don't worry" and thoughts like, "You can't learn unless you're in an uncomfortable situation" and thoughts like that. "I'm doing, good... It can be a little bumpy at times, but I am getting there." I told him. He then said to me that he felt impressed to tell me something.... "Elder Dean. . . . Your Father in Heaven wants you to know that He is pleased with you, and He wants you to know that He's proud of you." I immediately Broke down in tears, I had not felt this love that my Father in Heaven has been wanting me to feel, I had been focused on the work, but I was not feeling His support. My father in Heaven wanted to tell me that he was there, again, and he did that through one of his Servants. I am using this to help me through this bump in the Language study, and I know that it's going to work out alright. i'll send a picture of this man, his name is Brother Redding.
