Departing Testimony

This is crazy.  Brothers and Sisters please do not take this time for granted.  It will go by so fast and I hate that, but it’s ok.  I know that God has a plan and that this is His time. I am so grateful for this opportunity that I have to stand before you today to bear my testimony.  I know that this Church is true. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ.  I love Him so much. I have come to know that He truly is my Savior and that everything that I have ever gone through, He already went through that.  It's been an incredible experience to be able to testify of that every single day to everyone that I may see.  I love wearing His name.  I love representing Him and this is something that I plan to do for the rest of my life.  I will continue to be a missionary and I will continue to be a disciple of Jesus Christ because it's not over.  This is just helping me prepare for the rest of my life.  

I am so grateful for The Book of Mormon.  I’ve found so much peace and comfort and direction in that book.  I have come to know that it is another testament of Jesus Christ.  I love the Plan of Salvation.  I am so grateful that Heavenly Father loves us.  I know that he loves each of us.  There have been many times on my mission that I've really had to hold on to that testimony.  I know that I will see my loved ones again .  I think being able to also share that with our friends has been incredible.  Just the joy that the gospel brings has changed my life.  I’ve been able to witness it changing other people's lives. 

 I love being a missionary and being a disciple of Jesus Christ.  I continue to have that testimony, that desire to share that because I promised myself I would.  I know that this Church is true and I know that God loves each of us.  That we are his sons and daughters and that we can return to Him again.  I know that he did send his Son Jesus Christ to redeem us from all the pains and all the afflictions that we would feel.  This has been the best decision that I’ve ever made in my life.  I love this mission.  This is the best mission ever!  This is the best place to be, with the best people, the best mission leaders.  I’ve come to make some really good friends and I'm excited to see them again, maybe. . . I don’t know.  

I wanted to share a scripture with you all.  This is the scripture that I actually picked out for my mission plaque and it’s Deuteronomy 31 verse 6.  It says, “Be strong and of good courage, fear not nor be afraid of them, for the Lord thy God He it is that doth goeth with thee and will not fail thee nor forsake thee.  I know this to be true.  We can find so much confidence, and peace and courage in Jesus Christ and in our Father in Heaven.  I love them both and I love being a missionary and I love being able to serve them.  I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Hey y'all! Happy late Thanksgiving!

Its truly been such a blessing!  Thanksgiving was a blast and something you should know is that my mission president, president Watson is very competitive and very athletic. He's done 5 iron man's. He crazy. SO on thanksgiving morning all the missionaries ran a 5k with President and his family. It was so cold, I've never ran in colder weather, but it was so fun!

A Week Of Many Lasts ♡

HELLLLOOO FRIENDS! on a scale of 1-10 on how crazy this past week was I would say a 5. so that's pretty good. No car accidents this week. Hallelujah Ahhh but this week so many bittersweet things happened so let's begin!  So first. We went on pros exchanges! Keep in mind that Sister Reidhead was still recovering from her surgery and wasn't with us for a few days but even though Sister Faimanu is only in her first transfer she was totally willing to split for a bit to do exchanges. She's awesome! I went with Sister Howton in my area, we had a bunch of no answers but met a cool guy names Ray from Fiji. Even though his wife is a member and he had kids that went on missions AND has read the book of mormon he's still not a member. We testified of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost and eternal families but man is stubborn and just refuses to progress even though he admitted to feeling the spirit multiple times as we were speaking so idk but he was nice though I had my ...
