Hey man!!! yeah geeez it is so crazy its all coming to an end man!!! seriously i don’t even know what to think hahahaha!! I’m excited to come home for sure but like idk man I just know its going to be super different and i will never be the same after serving 2 years in Africa! It has been quite the experience!!! As I look back on my mission I just come to realize that through the ups and downs the only things that I remember are the good parts! There have been times I haven’t been super obedient others I’ve been crazy obedient and what I have come to realize is that it doesn’t matter what happens the most important is that you are constantly making small tweaks in your life to change and be better day by day week by week month by month and year by year! I look back on the start of my mission compared to know and i just see the amazing things the lord has blessed me with and truly the man he has forged in the fiery furnace of Africa hahahaha it has been tough but sooooooo worth it and I wouldn’t give anything to change this time I’ve given to the lord in his service for these last two years! i know who he really is now and i cant even imagine what it was like to be perfect in a world of so much imperfection and just the immense trust he has in us imperfect beings. That’s just goers to show how much more trust we need to have in HIM! Gosh a freaking can’t wait to come home and see you guys!!! The only thing is knowing Ben won’t be there. It seriously is killing me! Man like I miss him so much dude! But its okay you guys will be there to help me!!!! The great thing is when he comes home we are gonna have SO much in common!!!!! My lil chunker hahahahaha!!!! Well I just love you so much dad!!!! Have an awesome week!!!
hey mom!!!! seriously though hahahahah i am feeling so many emotions at the moment it is insane!!!! i have grown to love these people and the people i have served side by side with these past few years seriously it has been amazing the past two years i see why it is the best two years!!!!! i understand be cause i lived it and i endured it!!! thats all the lord wants us to do is to live and endure this life so we can understand as he understands and that way we will be capable to have all that he has! seriously as i look back on my mission i just see how fast it has gone and I’m sure that is how the lord felt on the cross looking back on his life seeing all he went through feeling all the pains a mortal man could feel and then saying it is finished into thy presence I commend myself!!! I just see with the simple mortal intelligence i have the great joy he felt in that moment knowing all the pain heart ache and stress will all be over and that he will finally be able to continue with the next part of his life as a God. I too in a since am commending myself now into your guys presence in just a few short day and how freaking great is my joy!!!!!!!! my work is finished!!! I have all the tools now to get me through the rest of my life!!!!!! gosh i seriously cant wait to get out of the plan and walk down that elevator to finally embraced you guys!!!! 2 years may be long but it has FLOWN by!!!!!!!! seriously it is insane!!!!!! i just love you sooo much and cannot wait to see you guys!!!!
