My thoughts:   Being here in the Office of the Tennessee Knoxville Mission has been a challenge for me. My Secretarial skills are few. My organizational skill are fantastic, but I don't know enough to organize let alone eliminate files that might be needed. So after a crying melt down on a Friday night (a couple of weeks ago) we went to Stake Conference on Saturday and Sunday where the messages of love and dedication inspired me to quit murmuring and go and do what needed to be done. I began to see what I needed to do. Letters I needed to type and people I needed to contact began to come easier to me. But murmuring was still in my mind. So, I asked forgiveness and for the Lord's help; and that is when miracles (tender mercies) began to happen. They are too mission specific to mention here. But I know that when you ask for help you receive help, when you pray for miracles you receive miracles, when you trust the Lord you don't need to be anxious and worry. He will give you peace so you can hear what He is saying. My faith, which I thought was strong, is growing more and more each day. That alone is a tender mercy from the Lord.
