21 May 2012 - Final Email

Well it's coming to an end. Hopefully, I learned what I needed to and hopefully I'll learn more.

It gets harder and harder as it gets closer :) People are telling me it's my last P-Day, soon it will be my last Tuesday, etc.That doesn't make me feel any better. People tell me that I have done a great work, etc., but I haven't convinced myself yet :) However, I am extremely grateful that I served a mission. It is one of the few things that I have done well and worked until the bitter end. I consider it a badge of honor. It wasn't easy and I wasn't perfect and I couldn't have done it alone. It is an overwhelming feeling to know that you have served the Lord. I hope to feel the spiritual confirmation of the Lord accepting my work. It isn't necessary, but it's nice.

I know that this church is true. I have lived the Lord's Gospel in a way that I have never done before. I clearly see its power to change and alter the life of man forever. I know that the Gospel changes people, it makes them want to do what is right. I know that the Book of Mormon is a true book. It was set aside for our days. The nephites and lamanites didn't have it, but we do. The Lord saved it because we need it. I have a very personal, profound testimony of the Lord's love for me and the undeniable power of repentance. I know that He forgives and I know that He can forgive. He died for us and rose again. He is the Christ. He is my Savior and my Friend.
