My Last Week!

Missionary Leadership Training 1/3/2017

Hello Everyone!

The past 18 months have been a roller coaster! I am so grateful that I made the wise decision to come on a mission and to serve my loving Heavenly Father! So many thoughts and emotions are running through me at this moment and I have no idea what to write! 

I have loved every minute of my mission! I know I am biased ~ but I have served in the best mission in the world! The Washington Spokane Mission of Miracles is what we call it! I have had 10 companions, been in five areas, four zones and have been all over the mission. The gospel has changed me to be a better person than when I left. I am not perfect but I am on the right track. The best thing that I have witnessed on my mission is when people have opened their hearts to Christ and have changed their lives around! The gospel is so true and I am grateful to have been given the privilege and opportunity to share it for 18 months 24/7! 

I know who my Savior is now. I need Him everyday of my life and I am relieved that He wants to be. If it wasn't for Jesus Christ and His Atonement we wouldn't be happy. There would be no point to life. If we made one mistake and there goes our chance to live with our Father in Heaven again ~ BUT because of the suffering of our dear older brother, we can repent and get it right! Repentance, or another word for it is change, is the greatest gift that we have been given. We wouldn't be able to have the Holy Ghost with us or be able to live with God. Everything is possible because of Christ. I have discovered Christ's purpose in my life and I am glad that I found it out sooner than later. He changes people! He has changed me! I am sad to be leaving but I am excited for my new mission. I am going to be pro-active and move this wonderful work forward the best I can. I don't need a name tag to share this wonderful news! I need a testimony and I have that!  

I love you all and I miss you! See you in a week! Toodaloo!
