Dearest family and friends,
Its come to an end. I cant believe it. But its here.
Well. This last week was great. Another highly succesful weeks. I feel great about my work here. I have planted more seeds than any other area ive been in. The next assistent is going to love me! haha I really do feel satisfied. I wouldve liked to have baptized more, clearly, but for an area to really flourish, it needs elders willing to plant seeds every time as to not "reinvent the wheel" every time theres changes.
I had my last interview with president klein this week. That was FANTASTIC!!! I felt so great about my future. I am so grateful to have been here with that giant of a man. God didnt assign me to be the assistant because I was the best, he assigned me here because only President Klein was going to be able to humble me this much. He has chopped me at the roots these last three changes and has helped me so much.
Well. During my mission I have learned a few things. Let me share them with you.
1. God is our loving heavenly father and he is ALWAYS working for our benefit. He hears our prayers and he is ALWAYS willing to answer if we are willing to act. Revelation is real. Without it, we cannot have a testimony.
2. We are children of god. As such, we have the potential to do ALL things because He can do all things. There is no task to large for us. And when it is, He sends angels. I KNOW that is true.
3. Jesus is the Christ. Only through him can we return to live with God. He also loves us. He invites us to come unto him. He is my friend and my savior.
4. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. It is the greatest tool the Lord has given us in these latter days. I LOVE testifying of its truthfulness. I have LOVED carrying one in my hand every day these past 2 years.
The gospel is simple. We must follow it.
I have loved the mission, I will miss working for the Lord everyday, but I do not feel regret for my work. My time is up, and Im not upset about it. Im excited really. I miss you all and I cant wait to see all your shining faces and feel of your testimonies.
Always,
