To Whom it May Concern:
I have reached a point in my mission where all I want to do is focus on the work, and everything else around me requires me to focus on coming home, what am I going to do, where do I go to school, what do I do?
I always knew these days would arrive, but I feel as if they have come far too soon. In the beginning of the mission everyone tells you how fast time will fly, but it is always about how we have FOREVER left, and now, every day someone reminds me of how little time I have left. 11 weeks really is not that long, and before I know it, and possibly before I am ready or prepared, I will be back home. It is a very bittersweet, and surreal experience.
I never realized fully what a mission would do for me, but in every single way, shape, and form, my life has been changed for the better. My testimony has grown, my visions have been expanded, my desires for good have increased, and I have been richly blessed. There is nothing better than selflessly serving the Lord. There is nothing that quite compares to the happiness I feel right now, and there is nothing that I would rather be doing.
I am so grateful that I made the decision to serve a mission. If anyone out there is wondering if it is right for them, I can testify and promise you that there is no way it could be wrong. It is the best thing I have done for myself, my family, my future family, and it is the LEAST I could do for the person who has given me EVERYTHING. I am so grateful for this privilege, opportunity, and duty.
Until I HAVE to go home, I will..."Revive a dying world...and RETURN WITH HONOR."
Thanks for the love and support,
The gospel is true WITHOUT a DOUBT!!!
