Hello! Oh man its been such a blur these past couple of weeks, but we are still so happy and excited to be working out here. Also, it;s getting pretty cold out so CHRISTMAS IS DEFINITELY COMING!! I don't know if all of you have seen the new Christmas initiative #LIGHTtheWORLD but it is amazing and really brings us back to what Christ would want us to do on a holiday that celebrates his birth.
Sister Maxwell and I have been working hard out here in the middle of nowhere! We got lost this week and found a large llama farm, a massive dairy and a bunch of orchards. The work continues to move forward though and we have been blessed to meet some amazing people. We had great lessons with Angie and Carol this week as well and we are excited to see how they continue to progress. We are hoping to start working with some part member families out in Colombia Basin and help them get started with their family history!
As my time is coming to a close, I wanted to take some time to share some things that are dear to my heart that I have learned on my mission.
I know that the Lord loves us and is aware of all of our needs. The love he has for us is perfect and unchanging and we get to share that with our brothers and sisters.
I know that obedience is the first law of heaven. Our Heavenly Father loves us so much that all he wants is for us to return to him. I know that when we are obedient we can have his spirit to be with us and that brings us joy and peace. As we pray to see ourselves as Heavenly Father sees us and pray to see others as He sees them we can more fully accept the Atonement of our Savior and develop his attributes toward others.
I know that this is Christ's Church restored on the earth. I know that we are loved by a loving Heavenly Father who has a perfect plan for each of us. I know we can be with the ones we love for eternity. I know through study and prayer that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that knowledge has brought me such light into my heart. I know that the Lord calls missionaries to serve and to teach, but most importantly to become valiant disciples so we can continue to love and bring light to the world.
I have truly loved and enjoyed my mission. Though it has not been easy, I have felt the loving embrace of our Savior to help me keep moving forward.
