P-Day #104 - Final Entry, Leaving the CTM and Returning Home...

I'm Home....Hugs for Everyone!!!!

This week was my final week here in the mission field. It has been a very good week here.

We had the opportunity to speak in Sacrament Meeting this week about missionary work and how members can be missionaries and have the same skills that missionaries do. I think the talk went very well and I feel that it helped in some way for some one.
 
Of Course, Mom Gets the First Hug....Missed Her Sooooooo Much!

We also had the opportunity teach one of our investigators about repentance and how when we have repented. We don't need to dig up old garbage and re-live the guilt that we felt when we did something wrong. She seemed grateful and she couldn't stop smiling during the lesson. We could stop smiling either because we could see the connections that she was making and the progress that she was experiencing. 

August 1st, 2018 Missionaries Going Home...

 We were able to teach our recent convert the rest of the missionary lessons and help her find some more chapels that she could attend on her travels. She was happy that we had taught her the missionary discussions and she was also a little sad that we were going to be leaving. So were we.

Our Branch had a Face2Face with 2 other Missionaries that returned this Month, Jared Medearis (California, Riverside Mission) and Mariah Cook (Canada Edmonton Mission). Over 50 attended...


We had the privilege to do some service for a member and help her clean out her shed. She was concerned about her things being on the ground and getting rotted out so we put some card board on some bricks to get it up off the ground.

As this is the last blog of my mission, I would like to thanks all of my family and friends that have supported me in this adventure.  I would like to leave you with my knowledge and testimony that the Book of Mormon is true and that our Heavenly Father loves each one of us. He hears and answers our prayers. He loves us and wants us to return to live with Him. I know that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet of God and that The Church of Jesus Christ is here on the earth today.



I am so very blessed to have served a Mission for Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ....Til' We Meet Again...
