I can't believe it. This is the weirdest I have ever felt in my whole
life. I JUST HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS!! I'm happy, then sad, then
excited, then nervous. It's just so weird. I can't believe that 18
months has come and gone. I've learned so much and changed so much and
I'm soooo glad that I decided to come on a mission. It's changed my
life. So I'll fill you in on all the details in a few short days, but
I wanted to end my last email with my testimony:
One of the most important things that I've learned in the last year
and a half is that God loves us. He loves every single one of us soooo
much. And he wants us to be happy... Which is why he has given us the
gospel. I know that living the gospel is the only way that we can be
truly happy. It finally makes sense. I know that all of the
commandments are for our good and that they bring us lasting
happiness. I know that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers.
I could go on for dayssss about this but I've seen this time and time
again, and prayer really works! I know that the Book of Mormon is
true. It's another witness of Jesus Christ and we learn so much about
Him and how to become more like Him by reading it. And most of all I
know that Jesus Christ is my savior. I've learned so much about the
atonement and about repentance and I'm so thankful that Christ has
made that possible for us. That we can change and repent and be able
to say (like the conference talk) "'Twas I, but tis not I." I know
that the church is true. And I loveeeee being a missionary!
Amen.
HALLELUJAH!
Love y'all!

This week was really good. We did service every day, so that kept us busy. We did yardwork, helped people move, and clean. Conference was really good. My favorite talks were Elder Renlund's and Elder Holland's. It's crazy that that's my fourth and final General Conference since being a missionary. Hopefully my notes are just as good when I'm not a missionary. The Seaman's really liked it. We dyed Eater eggs between sessions with them, so that was fun. And afterwards we taught them the restoration. It went so well!! Alex is really shy, but she's been opening up a lot. WE scheduled to teach her lesson 2 on Saturday in a member's home, so I'm really excited for that. 

I did get my package. Thank youuuuu! 

This week we knocked a lot of doors and two of them let us in!! That NEVER happens. So that was exciting. We're teaching them both again on tuesday. 

I think that's about all. I don't have much time to write because it's zone p-day and then we're going to the fair at 4. 

I love you! See you soon!

P.s: This is my very last MONDAY p-day. Weird.
