Hello everyone! It’s my last email of my mission! It’s so crazy to
already be at this point! It feels like yesterday I was going into the MTC.....
JK, it felt like forever ago...Anyway, here is the week:
Monday
We had our normal P-day. We emailed, shopped, and had lunch at Mod for my last time on the mission. That was exciting. After that, we went up to Everson and played sports with all of the district. It was pretty fun. We played indoor kick ball. We also had our last lesson with Kali. We taught her learning and serving in the church.
Tuesday
We did a lot of work. We also had lessons with Lindsey and Alyvia. We taught Lindsey about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Alyvia the restoration again.
Wednesday
We had district meeting, and Elder Wingit talked about how to use the new chapter 8. Later in the day, we did some work in the area, had a meeting with bishop, and a lesson with the Clines. They’re a less active family in the ward and the father used to be a bishop in the Lumi Ward up here. We taught him the restoration. Later that night we had Kali's interview, and she passed.
Thursday
We served at the food bank. I did My Plan after, this one focused on dating.... Yuck... JK! I look forward to it. Later, we did some more work and had dinner with the Barrons.
Friday
We did weekly planning and a lot of work. Recently we have been meeting people that are open to talk to us when we see them. We also talked with our investigator, Mike. He has a lot of deaths going on in his family, and so we read a scripture to him and talked with him to help him feel better.
Saturday
We had Kali's baptism. It was great! After which, we did some more work, and we did some service for the Izners again.

Sunday
My last fast Sunday on the mission. Bishop asked if I would
give my testimony one last time before I left, and so I did. Church went really
well. Kali got confirmed, and Nate, one of our investigators, was there. He’s
the blind one. After church, we had comp study and then we went and did a
little bit of work. I had my death dinner or my last supper as I've heard it
was called. Then we saw a couple more people and then headed home.

Man, what a mission! I've been so blessed with this choice that I've made in my life to come and serve God. I can’t believe it's almost over! One more week left! I want to bear my testimony that God loves each and every one of us. I bear witness of his son, Jesus Christ, that He is the literal son of God. He suffered the infinite atonement, that no other man could accomplish because of the Everest of pain he had to go through. I know this church is true because I pray about it continually and the Lord bears witness every time to me that it is! How grateful I am to continue to learn how true it is! I know my Heavenly Father has a plan for me, even though I want to know where I am going or who I'm going to be with in the end so badly! He tells me to be patient, all will be right in the end. I have learned for myself what the gift of repentance is. He has shown me how to become better, and am I better than before, yes! But in many ways, I still falter. I am not perfect, but God does not expect me to be. I love you all, thank you for what you have done to help me get where I'm at today. I pray that we may come to this same truth and witness, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
