My last week as a full time missionary...


Silly selfies on the last day with my iPad.
 
 
Fun family, the Yanda's.
 
This week was really great! we were able to do a lot of really great work. A lot of the members here share the gospel with their friends which is so amazing! We were able to teach a man named Brad, who was a referral from a member in Fort Worth. This member had been sharing the gospel with Brad for a while but he wasn't ever acting on it. So she invited us over to "ambush" him. He handled it really well and promised to really give it a try and is going to read the Book of Mormon.  We set an appointment for Thursday this week. I'm sad that I'll miss it. We had a lot of good contact with non-members and were able to do quite a bit of service for the community and for members of the ward. I learned how to store and seal Mylar bags full of wheat. :)

 

So you as you might know, I'm coming home on Thursday. It's so weird!

I'm sad that my mission is ending, but I'm also excited to apply everything that I've learned into member missionary life. I just don't really know what to say. My mission has definitely changed my life for the better. My testimony has been strengthened immensely. I'm also just really exhausted, so sorry for such a short update. I love y'all!

See you soon!

Monson announced that the previous age for sister missionaries to serve, which was 21, was now being lowered to 19 years old. Even then my initial thought was "meh, whatever". However as I continued in my college education I realized that I  was kind of burned out of school, and I wanted to do something else. Then the thought of seriously going on a mission came to me. I still wasn't sure but after a couple months thinking about it, I decided I would start my mission papers and see how I felt about it. So I started them in February of 2013 and finished them all the way in May. I still had good feelings about it, but I hadn't had that personal confirmation from Heavenly Father that I needed to go. So I...
