This week has been the best week of my mission. I got a phone call Thursday night asking if I would give a training in MLC on Friday then I was invited to President's home for dinner with 5 other missionaries. He invited the departing Assistants and Sister Training Leader Leaders. It was the greatest experience! We had dinner, then started with our exit interviews. I have so much respect for President Slaughter. He is a man of sound understanding. He is called of God. What a blessing it has been to be able to serve here in the TSAM, and to work with him and his family. They will forever have a special place in my heart. We're TSAMmers :)
At church yesterday, I felt the most peaceful feeling come over me as sacrament meeting started. After 9 months in this area, I feel like Lake Austin is my home. I love the members and people here! As I sat there, I started to realize.. I did all I could. I gave it my all. It felt good :)
To put into words the last year and a half would be impossible. I am filled with complete gratitude for the time that the Lord allowed me to be a full-time missionary. I couldn't have asked for a better mission. I love the TSAM! All the people I have been around the last year and a half mean so much to me. I can't wait for y'all to come back and meet them! I also understand that my mission isn't over. There's still people to find, and missionary work to be done. I will continue to share the Gospel with everyone!
I don't know where to start, or end this e-mail, but more than anything I want to let y'all know that I know this Church is true. It is the only way to exaltation. The Book of Mormon is true. It testifies of our Savior Jesus Christ, His mercy, and the covenants we make to be able to live with Him again. The Priesthood power has been restored to the earth, through the Prophet Joseph Smith. We have a living prophet today, President Thomas S. Monson. What a blessing it is to be members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!
I can't sum up my feelings or memories in one e-mail.. What a blessing it has been to have been a part of God's army. To be able to preach repentance to the people here in Texas. This Gospel is the only way to true happiness. I will live the gospel for the rest of my life! And I'm thankful to have a faithful family that we can live it together. I am so grateful for each one of you and the support you have given me. I'm excited to see y'all. It's hard to leave. But I have peace knowing that I've done all I could. I am changed. I know who I am. I love this Gospel and I love the Lord.
