Mission Accomplished!

Return With Honor!

The mission has been amazing and difficult! 

But anything worth doing is not going to be easy. 

I have discovered more of myself here in the Washington Spokane Mission 

and I am excited to implement what I learned on this mission 

to the mission I am coming home to. 

I was an active member before I left but now I will be a pro-active member. 

Miracles happen all over and it is up to us to see them and recognize them. 

Life is difficult and hard and exhausting but through Christ anything is possible. 

Through Christ we can always smile and laugh even in times of difficulty. 

I love all of you and I am so grateful for your support and love.
