Well here I am. This
last week was my last week working and this week is my last one as a
missionary. It's kind of a bummer that since i'm a zone leader I lose my last
week of the mission to meetings, but what ever.
I will go and I will do what the Lord commands.
In this email, I don't really want to do a day by day of my
last week. Just know that I worked HARD,
and have stayed busy to the last second.
I just want to thank everyone that's kept up with me for
these 23 months. (i wish i could say 2
years but the visa won't let me haha).
I'm so grateful that I've been given the opportunity to
serve God, my brothers and sisters for this time. I've always remembered hearing that the
mission is the best 2 years. I used to
think that phrase meant the "best 2 years of my life". But to be honest, that's not true. The mission has been hard! I've walked, struggled with personal
weaknesses, i've had to learn to be clean, obedient, to be a leader, to talk
with strangers, to teach as the Lord teaches, and it has been hard! But it's been worth it! now i understand that it has really been the
best 2 years. not of my life, but FOR my
life. I've changed and grown to the
point i feel like I'm more like my Savior.
I'm not even close but I know the things i've learned and become will
help me with my work, my family, the friends, and EVERYTHING i need to do in my
life.
So thank you all for supporting me. Please don't glorify me for my service, but
glorify the Lord. It was all for
him.
So I'll see you all next week in Utah .
