i met one of Joseph smiths descendents

hello family, im sorry i dont get the chance to write on this blog very much but i wanted to tell you an incredible experience i had this week. because my bishop is going to Australia, where alot of Joseph Smiths descendents are, we were able to meet Joseph Smiths great great grandaughter and here son. her son looks alot like you would imagine Joseph Smith to look like. it was amazing. we went and ate dinner with them at my Bishops house and then they did a fireside at our church that night. Her son is the first of his descendents to get his endowments in the Navoo Temple. neat huh? any way the spirit was so strong. they are the most incredible people. they have only been members for about ten years but have already done so much in helping the progression of reuniting his family. it is such an honor to be in this area where i get to see and hear about all the amazing miracle stories that have been going on. she told us stories and visions that i cant wrote on a sight that just any one can read but they have changed my perspective and testimony of Joseph Smith and this church. the work for this church is so much greater than we realize or can even fathom. there are so many behind the scene things that are happening. it is neat to learn about them all. i love being apart of this. i only wish i could do more.
i love my mission so much. i really feel like there is a reason i am here that goes beyond what i can see with my eyes. i love you all so much. take care.
love sister conover

Debbie,

That is such a neat story. We are working with some members of the reorganized church right now (Community of Christ). I think the gap is widening and the pure in heart are going to have to join the church or they will be following the other spirits. There is no fence to sit on. We have to choose, more now than ever. Did you get my email? I sent you an email. I am so proud of you and love you to pieces! Love, Kevin
