The Causse cause

we had a great conference this week in brno. elder causse of the
seventy came to speak to us and he had very nice things to say about
our mission. among other things he said that we have the most obedient
and the happiest mission in europe--so how about them apples? in all
seriousness, though it was a great conference. i sand the song "where
love is" from the primary songbook and i think it went pretty well. we
also got to hear a lot of great messages from president and sister
irwin and from elder causse himself. he encouraged us to increase our
faith, because it is after faith that we see miracles. he told us that
we need to have a vision that we need to picture the future of the
church in this country--stakes, temples, etc. there was a very tender
moment for all the slovak missionaries after that. elder causse took
out his ipad and called up elder nichol so that he could show him the
picture displayed on his ipad. he asked elder nichol to describe the
picture. elder nichol began to describe the slovak branch that has now
been established in sheffield in england. the first slovak man in
england was found a year ago, and yet they already have 70 members and
average of 80 people attending church every week and 30 baptismal
dates; every one of them a slovak. Heavenly Father loves all of his
children, and he certainly hasn't forgotten about those from Slovakia.
we will find them, we will teach, them we will baptize them, and the
church will grow. all it takes is just a little faith
