Hey Y'all!
The
time has come. 18 months has come and gone. I cannot even begin to
express the amount of love, joy, and gratitude i feel at this time.
It is going to be such a bitter sweet thing to leave the mission. I have loved serving in this capacity.
Its
weird how the lord works. He takes the most selfish and prideful breed
of humans (18-25 year old's) and allows them to invite others to come
unto Christ.
In
the midst of inviting others, we learn to come unto him ourselves. We
are blessed with the capacity to recognize just a fraction of how much
our Heavenly Father and Savior love us.
We learn how to access the atonement in a way that we never comprehended before.
Jesus is the Christ. His gospel has been restored in it's fullness to the earth.
The Prophet Joseph Smith did see God the Father, and His Son, Jesus Christ.
The
Book of Mormon truly is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It
testifies that he lives, and loves all of Heavenly Father's children.
I have been given the opportunity and privilege to build my foundation on Christ over these past 18 months.
I know that as I continue to rely on him that I will be able to withstand any storm life throws at me.
I
am excited to take what i have learned from the many experiences on my
mission and apply them into my efforts of daily discipleship.
I am excited to go along with Heavenly Father's Plan for me and attend BYU-Idaho.
Being home for three short weeks will be just enough time for me to plan and prepare for college in January.
I
am so grateful that Heavenly Father has a plan for each of his
children. Because my plans will never amount to the greatness of His
plans :)
I
have said many hard goodbyes. I sure love all these people here in
Dothan. I have loved all my areas and it will be hard to leave the
mission.
I am just feeling so blessed that I have gotten to meet so many wonderful people. They certainly have blessed my life!
Love Y'all!
Be Blessed!
