That’s All She Wrote

Wow! That is the only words I have to describe this feeling. Many of you reading this probably know what I am talking about. I have tears in my eyes as I write this. 


Since I have been horrible at writing lately, here is a little update on what has been happening. I am back in Kansas City! I’m in the same ward that I started my mission! It was the perfect ending to my mission. I have been training a new missionary named Elder Whittaker.  He is from AF so close to home, and he has been amazing! It has been cool to get back to the basics of missionary work and it has made me reflect over the course of my mission. He is going to do amazing things on his mission greater than anything I did, he has been great!

I have been doing a lot of pondering recently on my whole mission.  Many people have been asking me what I’ve learned the most. Which is an unfair question because of how many things I have learned on my mission, but maybe I will share a few of them.

1. We get to choose the life we want to live. One of the biggest lessons I have learned out here is the importance of agency. It is essential to God's plan for us and our eternal progression. Everything we want in life is a choice to some extent. Now this does not mean life won't be hard, it just means we get to choose how we will react to these difficulties. We get to choose to be happy, choose to work hard to be successful, choose to keep the commandments, choose to follow Christ etc. The Lord will grant unto us according to our desires. That is what the scriptures teach us, so we just need to make a decision and go after it.

2. With the Lord there is nothing we can't accomplish, overcome or become. My mission President taught us in a zone conference the story of Christ feeding the 5,000. To summarize the story, Christ was wanting to feed all these people and there was not enough to do it with what his disciples had. But he made it enough and more. So it is the same with us, we are not enough on our own. But because Christ has overcame the world he can make us enough and more.

I have seen this on my mission as I have recieved divine help through hard times, and have seen a dramatic change inside me which has come because of Him. I have learned that I need to have total reliance on Him everyday in order to get through it.

I cannot begin to thank my Father in Heaven for letting me serve a mission. Especially amongst his great people in Missouri and Kansas. It has been the greatest experience of my life. I will be eternally grateful for it. I thank all of you who has supported me and prayed for me and my family while I have been gone. I definitely felt those prayers thank you. 

I will be returning this Friday and I look forward to seeing you all! I know this is the Lords restored church on the earth today. Joseph Smith was the Lords chosen prophet in bringing this about. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and it changes lives. Jesus Christ lives and is our Savior and Redeemer. I love Him.
