The Last Email!
hello my lovely friends and family!
the day has come... my last full pday! wow! not sure how the time flew by so fast, but it has been time well spent for sure. I thank my Heavenly Father every. single. night. that He let me serve Him in this full time capacity. it's been the greatest priviledge of my life.
this week was a bit of a roller coaster. it started out with a COVID test. yup. It felt like they scratched my brain lol. I was feeling some symptoms so the mission doctor told me I better get tested just to be safe. that meant I had to quarantine EXTRA for the next 5-7 days until my results came back. we're already stuck inside all day, so normally it wouldn't be that big of a deal, but this week was Zone Conference week!! my LAST Zone Conference. so I was pretty bummed out that I wouldn't be able to be there :( Sister Holdsworth and I prayed extra hard that the results would come in super fast and guess what!? God really does answer prayers haha! I got a call at 1:30 PM on Wednesday saying my test was negative. we pulled ourselves together super quick and made it to the Conference which started at 2 PM. Sister Holdsworth and I even got to give a training and it went well! (another miracle because we literally had no time to practice it lol) the conference was INCREDIBLE. I was sooo grateful I got to be there in person! it was all centered on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. it was a beautiful reminder to me of what missionary work is all about. it's about Him! I sacrificed 18 months of my life to serve Him because He sacrificed soooooo much more for me.
Sister Holdsworth and I hit our goal this week! We taught 40 lessons woooohoooo!!! it felt good. we are going to keep it up this week too. finish strong!!! I just realized that pretty much everyone in our teaching pool right now is a middle aged woman. lol I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH. we had a lesson with my girl Angie this week (this is the lady who said our meetings are "transcendant") and she is just the sweetest. she even invited her friend to join the lesson! we read from the Book of Mormon and her friend said, "oh yeah I have one of those books! I will have to catch up to where Angie is at and join your next meeting." :0 it was cool!
I will miss all my friends so much! :( I'm sad to leave, but excited for all the new adventures to come. good thing Utah isn't too far away, I can come back and visit!
well, I just want to end with my testimony. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer. He has the power to transform each one of us. He takes us as we are and makes us so much more than we could ever imagine. I have seen Him do that with people I've taught. I've felt Him do that with me. I testify that this is His work! even though some days have been SO HARD. I have felt SO MUCH JOY in my service. I hope you all know how much I love my Savior. I might not be able to wear Christ's name on my chest after next week, but it is forever written on my heart ♡
"O Lord, I will praise thee forever; yea, my soul will rejoice in thee, my God, and the rock of my salvation... Behold, my voice shall forever ascend up unto thee, my rock and mine everlasting God."
