The past few weeks my testimony and love for the gospel of Jesus Christ has grown beyond words. I truly have come to know and understand that the ONLY way back to the presence of Our Father In Heaven in through the Savior, Jesus Christ. The past few weeks we have been teaching C--- She's 20 years old and a single mom. I love her with all my heart. And I KNOW that She is the reason I'm here in Albany, OR. We had an amazing lesson with her last week. As I sat next to her teaching and testifying of the reality and divinity of the Savior and His Gospel..... I felt the power of the love that our Father in Heaven has for her and her son... and because of that I felt the love he has for me. Even as a missionary I have days when I feel of little or no value and sometimes I just want to give up..... its in those moments that the love my Father has for me and those that I teach sustains me and gives me strength. One thing my mission has taught me is how to recognize and understand the spirit... and I am FOREVER grateful for that. I KNOW that Jesus is the Christ. That our Father in Heaven knows us personally. I know that our life here on earth, as hard as it may be, is the ONLY way that we can learn and progress. I know that we must endure to the end in order to inherit ALL that The Father has. I know how important it is to build families on the rock of Jesus Christ. I know the church is true.
N--- Z--- is still amazing! I love that man to death! He has changed my life....to say he is amazing, simplifies how actually inspiring he is! He dumped out his last beer the other day. It was a touching experience and I could see the change in him as it happened and felt a life altering change in myself witnessing it.
Transfer calls are coming up on the 28th and I'm freaking out.... I will seriously implode if I get transferred ! So pray that I don't! I can't believe I only have 7 weeks left to wear the name of The Lord on my Chest. My mind will not let me comprehend leaving this place, leaving these people, leaving this calling....I LOVE serving The Lord.
Wednesday was my last zone conference! EVER! I cried pretty much the entire time.... just the thought of not being a missionary makes my eyes water.... It was soooo good to Sis E! I've missed her soo much! I will get to see her again today, we are having a mission wide meeting...our last time together as missionaries....it's sad to have all these "last things" happening, I'm not ready, I'm not done!
Please, Please, PLEASE make time to have daily scripture study! You will literally convert yourself to Jesus Christ as you do. I am loving every day of my mission. I love and miss you all, and I WILL see you soon! April 16th = GO Time!
