Elder (Joseph) Koruton

This year has been one of the best ones in my life for personal
development. I have had many chances to grow in knowledge, skills, and
spirituality. I have had a lot of opportunity to learn more about what a
mission is really all about. Everyday i learn more about just how
perfectly Heavenly Father put his plan together.
Each day I ahve chances to teach the peple about Christ and his plan. I
am also able to see people make changes in their lives that really do
help. I watched as one of our investigators, Yamashita, gave up some of
the things she did not need and made a true change. She had a change of
heart.
I can only watch and experience all of this because of my mission. but in
all reality it is not just my mission, it is a calling that I have
received from the Lord. he is also helping me. I t is wonderful to think
of the love that Jesus Christ has for all of our Heavenly Father's
children. Because of Christ, we can all return to our Heavely Father. I
am thankful for the opportunity to share this good news on my mission and
the rest of my life to watch and help people learn about their porpose in
life and make the change of heart they need.
One thing I love to see is the faces of people as they look up from their
first prayer. The first time you call upon Heavenly Father is often very
hard. But to see their faces when they are touched by the spirit is
something beautiful and undescribable. 
Through heavenly Father's plan I can continue to grow and develop until I
am a lot closer to the person that I really want to be. This year has
been great. Thank you for all of the support and prayers.
