Final Email

Image
Well, c'est la vie. At the moment I am writing this email I am sitting on an airplane on my way home. Crazy. I hope all my suitcases get there when I do. This is my concluding email, a final message to you all. I just want you to know that I am so grateful for my mission. It was truly amazing. I witnessed so many miracles as I served the Lord. I know now, more than ever before, that God knows us and loves each of us individually. He has provided a way for us to be happy and successful throughout our lives, through His Son, Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and He has enabled me to become a better person, even though I have a long way to go. He has given me strength, comfort, and hope throughout every struggle I've had and I know He will continue to be there for me. He's there for you too  I love you all, and if I haven't seen you already by the time I send this then I'll see you soon! P.S. if you are a missionary right now, please add my personal e...

This week is going to be a good week  Update for this week: Lol practically everything fell through this week, but it was good anyways :)) On Monday I got to see my cousin who recently moved up her to Washington! It was super happy, and I got to meet her husband and cute little baby too, which was so fun! We met at a park and it was pretty cold and rainy, but it was fun haha :)) We found some really cool people this week who were super interested :) On Wednesday we had a lesson set up with a member, but then he ended up being stuck in traffic, so we decided to go tracting. We parked in this parking lot that I didn't know existed, and there was this guy getting something out of his car and we started talking to him! His name was Joshua and we had a super good conversation with him! We taught him the whole restoration and gave him a Book of Mormon and it was just super good :)) he was so excited to go to church and he was even asking about the dress code and everything, it was awesom...

Happy Easter :)) Update for this week: A lot of fun stuff happened this week! On Wednesday we were at the church waiting for Teresa and her family because we had a lesson set up, but they ended up being late... so one of the counselors in the Bishopric recruited us to talk to the 14-15 yo boys about missionary work   it was awesome, and they had really good questions! Missionary work is a good time :) On Thursday, we took a member of the Samoan ward tracting with us because she's in the MTC! It was super fun, and she gave us a ton of tips for finding Polynesian people  Friday was Zone Conference and it was AMAZING. I learned a lot, especially from the discussion we had about General Conference. I LOVE Elder Uchtdorf's talk, President Nelson's talk, Elder Eyring's talk, and Elder KlebingΓΆt's talk. It was super amazing because it helped me learn how to be a better disciple of Jesus Christ. What's something you all learned from General Conference? I also had to bea...

Happy almost Easter :)) Update for this week: Yo so there was another baptism for this kid in our ward who turned 8! It was so fun :) we got a text at like midnight that we didn't see til like 6:35am (naturally), from on of the counselors in the bishopric asking us to fill the font that day   it was exciting haha. We bought doughnuts for ourselves on the way to the church XD There are some FIRE doughnut shops in Seattle, ngl. The one we usually go to (we've gone like 4 times now XD) is called Lucky Doughnuts in Burien, and the guy who's usually there is so funny cuz he always says "see you tomorrow" and he's so happy. It's great XD Other things that happened this week: • we went to the museum of flight today as a district activity, and it was so cool! Super fun times :) • we had interviews with our mission President! It was so weird because it's my last one before my departing interview... but it was good :)) we talked about general conference (if you ...

Week 3.4 Happy Conference Weekend :))

Y'all. Baptism. Update for this week: It has been an AMAZING week :))) We went to the temple on Tuesday, and it was AMAZING. The temple truly is the house of God, and when I go to the temple it feels like coming home :)) On Saturday and Sunday was General Conference, and it was absolutely AMAZING!!!! Especially the women's session, if you haven't seen/listened to it yet, I would HIGHLY recommend :)) Elder Renlund was the closing speaker for it, and one thing he said that I really liked is that "God's love is perfect. Our ability to feel that love is not." And then he talked about receiving revelation and humility and stuff, which was awesome :))) I also really like President Nelson's talk at the end of conference, about positive spiritual momentum! It's something we all need in life, and sometimes it's hard to start or begin, but it gets easier as we go! I just know that all of these church leaders are truly inspired of God, and if you want to hear...
