Its pretty much impossible to describe my feelings about my
last week as a full time missionary. I have absolutely zero doubt in my mind
that I made the right choice in staying on my mission. The biggest miracle I
have seen on my mission is definitely been in myself. The gospel for me went
from being something I wanted almost nothing to do with to something I dont
want to go a day without in my whole life. I am eternally grateful for the
testimony I now have the relationship I gained with my Heavenly Father. The
gospel truly does change people's lives and being close to the Lord is really
the best way to be happy. I am gonna miss being a missionary so much! There is
no better feeling than walking into something scary knowing that the Lord is
with you and that we are there to boldly testify of Him.
Im keeping it short but I had an amazing last week. My
interview was on Thursday and I was told to go get married asap. I went to the
Temple with all the other departing missionaries on Friday. We went to a
baptism on Saturday for Cody Taylor. He wasnt our investigator but we are
really good friends and I got to teach him while on exchanges! I was so stoked
for him! Today we are taking the new missionaries out tracting today and have
some solid teaching appointments tonight. Missions are amazing!
