Destiny or Tragedy?

The past couple of days have been rough. I have really been thinking about the people in Japan and how I wish I could be there to help. Being Japanese and have Japanese citizenship, a part of me feels that it is my responsibility to be there. That I should be there right now helping the people who are struggling with everything. In all honesty, this really tears me apart inside but I know that I have an even higher responsibilty to serve the Lord. I am here in Tennessee sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ for a reason. Why he has called me here, I don't know. However, I do know that I am serving my mission because I know how important it is to have the gospel in our lives. I know that this gospel can save souls because it has saved mine. Our Heavenly Father has a way for us to return home to him. He has revealed his plan of happiness to us through a prophet and continues to guide us through a prophet today. I know how important we all are to him and I am here to help people know that. I am torn up that I am not in Japan right now but I am glad that I am here serving the Lord. I don't know why he has allowed this tragedy to happen. However, I do know that those lives who have been lost are now home with our Father in Heaven. That we are all destined to move on from this life and he will be awaiting our return. I know that he is watching over those people in Japan along with you and me. I know that he loves us so very much and that he looks forward to the day when we return home to him! I know that my destiny to return home to him out weighs any tragedy that can come upon me. This time is just a time to prepare to meet him!  I know this with all my heart!
