WOW! The end is coming.

Wow, ok. This last week just swept past without a blink and has left me in the last full week of my mission. Um... what? When did I become that old in the mission? I really don´t feel like it, I have so much to learn and I am not that good of a missionary. But when I look back, I can see that I have learned so, so very much. And honestly, it has me excited for the rest of the things I´m going to learn.

This last week I was sick enough that we stayed in piso almost all week. That was hard to not be able to work, but now I´m better and in a way, being sick was a blessing. Because it makes this last week more special. I think maybe if I´d been fine last week this week would feel like just any other, but now it means more. I´m determined to make the very most of it, to use everything I´ve learned to bare poweful testimony with authority. In Preach My Gospel it talks about how people can choose to not listen but they can´t deny your testimony. I wish I had the actual quote, but its something like that.  That´s really impacted me my whole mission, I´ve tried to really grow my testimony because I´ve seen what that can do in other missionaries. So I´m planning on not holding back one drop this week. 

I´m excited to see all of you again soon. Don´t stop praying, don´t stop reading the scriptures. It should get to the point where doing those two things is as important as eating. Where they´re as natural as breathing. I know Christ lives. I know this church is true. I know that God listens to us and answers our prayers. And I know without a sliver of doubt that He loves us. O, how He loves it. Just thinking about it makes my heart swell with gratitude.

Until next week.

excerpt from my letter:

aaaahhhhhhhhhhh. im so freaked out by the idea of commi8ng home. seriously, kind of stressed about it this morning. i just love being a missionary. it makes me tear up thinking about it. its a very torn, very uncomfortable feeling. but im determined to go out with thunder as you put it. i want to have the most perfect week i can as a missionary, the best one yet. because now i have an idea of how to do things and im no longer sick (i was sick ALL week last week. we worked friday night and saturday basically) so I just want to attack every day and give it everything ive got. no holding back, nu uh. :) thank you for the advice, it helps. because im also very, very tired. but thats ok, missionary work is hard. y punto.
