I have loved every minute of my mission! The experiences I have had over the past two years have changed my life. Just the thought of this journey coming to an end makes me want to burst out bawling. I will never forget the spiritual experiences I have had. The Lord has been so merciful to me and has shown me so many miracles. I am grateful that He has used me, an unworthy servant, as a tool to accomplish His great work. My Savior has been with me every step of the way and I know that He was the author of every miracle. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to teach about Christ and His Atonement. The opportunity to proclaim His everlasting gospel! I am even more grateful for the testimony that the Lord has given me which has brought so much joy and hope to me. I know that Christ is our Savior and Redeemer and that it is only through Him and His everlasting Atonement that we can return to our Heavenly Father with our family and friends. He has always shown us the way by revealing His Gospel, which teaches us all how to live our lives in a way that we can become perfected and live with God. His gospel was Restored a final time to the Prophet Joseph Smith and His Church is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. How privileged we are to be members of His Church! I will always be indebted to my Savior for what he has done for me. At times of my mission I tried to give it all to Him but I found that He gave it all to me. You cannot out give the Lord and we will always be indebted! Makes me think of one of my favorite scriptures-
Mosiah 2:
20 I say unto you, my brethren, that if you should render all the thanks and praise which your whole soul has power to possess, to the God who has created you, and has kept and preserved you, and has caused that ye should rejoice, and has granted that ye should live in peace one with another-
21 I say unto you that if ye should serve him who has created you from the beginning to your own will, and even supporting you from one moment to another- I say, if ye should serve him with all your whole souls yet ye would be unprofitable servants.
I wish I could sum up how I feel about my mission. I won't go a day of my life without thinking about the experience I had. I am grateful for all of you and for your support and encouragement! I am so blessed to have the family and friends that I do. I love you all and will see you too soon! :)
