WOODBRIDGE INTERVIEWS

Second day of interviews. On May 2, 2012 we interviewed in the Woodbridge Zone.  

Another special day. 

While President interviews behind closed doors, I sit in the hall and get to visit more 

casually.  I visited with each of them about their family, health, planners and then 

I ask each of them the question: 

TELL ME SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED ON YOUR MISSION

This has been a wonderful and eye opening experience for me. 

I wrote in my journal a short reply of how each of them responded. 

The majority of them talked about learning to LOVE in way they never knew they could, 

How to really learn to listen to and rely on the spirit,

How much more prayer played a role in their lives, 

and many mentioned how they had learned about PATIENCE.
