Hey y'all,
So it's been a fantastic 18 months here in Georgia! They sure did fly by so fast! It's true that time fly's when you're having fun. Grovetown is such a wonderful place. The work is really moving forward here. There are so many people that are ready to hear the gospel! It reminds me of my first area, Warner Robins. It seems like I was just there, a new and anxious missionary. So much has happened since then. I've learned so much. I've been able to strengthen my faith and testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through all the different experiences I've had!
I know with all my heart that this is the only true church here on the earth today. That Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I'm so grateful for him and his sacrifices. I know that no sacrifice is too great for obedience. I've been able to see that throughout my mission. I know that blessings come as we're obedient. I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ and his atonement and that I've been able to strengthen my relationship with him and learn how to more fully apply it in my life. And also then share that with others. It makes me think of the video "Because of Him". It's one my favorites!
"He lives, and because he lives, you... she and he and they and we all will live again. Because of him death has no sting, the grave hath no victory, we can start again and again and again. Because of him guilt becomes peace, regret becomes relief, despair becomes hope. Because of him we have second chances, clean slates, new beginnings, there is no such thing as the end because of him."
I know that's true! I've been able to help people discover what is possible because of him and see the joy come into not only their lives but mine as well. It's been such a blessing. The best part is that it doesn't have to stop now. Missions are forever! These friendships I've made will still be there. Though missionaries may die (go home), Disciples never do! I'll do my best to continue this great work as a member missionary! Thank you so much for all your love and support. It's made such a big difference as I've been serving. I know I couldn't have don't it without you and especially without Jesus Christ. He is my best friend and I love him so much! I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
See y'all soon!
