Families can be together for ever!

Wow so I am just so happy. I just had some incredible moments this week that really didn't have anything huge happen or anything they were just 100% good experiences. For example when we went to church on sunday our friends that were visiting in the church that day (investigators) were brought to church by members and it just made me feel so good because my goal is to help them be firm and be sealed in the temple and for me knowing that they have a friend strong in the gospel is just so rewarding for me. Honestly having Tais as a friend for Carol is just a miracle beyond our own merit its just been such a blessing I just know because of this she will be very firm in the church.

Something that I'm loving so much is just feeling really that I'm doing my very best and working really hard there is just a satisfaction undeniable.

I loved the examples mom gave of having a testimony and about the holy ghost because something Im just loving so much is how Im being able to follow the spirit in decisions Im making and to really be courageous in doing things. I feel like m,y mission has certainly changed me and helped me be more strong in the gospel and in knowing how to make a decision after pondering and making plans, praying, and then making a choice and receiving confirmation.

I am just so happy.

I was sitting the other day before we have the first hour of studies in the morning and I read an article in the Ensign(liahona) and it was about someone who had desires to serve a mission and the spirit hit me so strong, and I just sat and was so FILLED with immense gratitude for the blessing and miracle I was given from my loving Heavenly Father to be able to serve a mission and to be finishing off faithfully and healthily and I just never imagined that a mission would be like this. Ive never felt so grateful in my life for the Gospel, for the love of the Savior. For how the gospel TRULY blesses families and that we have a LIVING prophet on the earth HOW incredible, what a great and marvelous trust the Lord has placed in us. To be able to be preparing the Lords kingdom for when he is returning.

Something else I have just cherished is the blessing Ive been able to be given to really study about the gospel, its so interesting being able to Really understand new things about the plan that God has for us. He is really incredible, what a blessing to be able to have the peace that the gospel brings.

I just can hardly believe that we are SO lucky to know that we can Truly be a family for ETERNITY!!

We talked with people who Really thought that they would Not remember their families after this life! What a terribly sad and awful fate that would be! And to be able to know that is NOT what happens that there is a LOVING heavenly Father who created a Perfect plan for us to return to live with him in a state of Such immense happiness and complete joy with the people we love with all our hearts. It is truly incredible.

I love the gospel it is SO pure and it is so true.

There Indeed was a critical and serious need for a restoration, there is not a single person in the whole world that could walk down the street here seeing 3 or 4 different religions yelling and shouting their prayers and teaching doctrines SO DIFFERENT and not admit that there truly is confusion caused by the people of the earth.

I am so grateful to truly have been able to see how beautiful and precious the gospel is and I will defend it all my life, and I will continue sharing it with joy and thanksgiving in my heart.

I love my Savior, I love you all my wonderful family.

And I would like to say that families are the most important people on earth, we must cherish love and protect them, and they will be our greatest joys. Im so grateful for your support and love. I love you all.

Also missionary work is a blessing.

To be able to serve a mission is an IRREPLACEABLE opportunity. Do all you Possibly can to be worthy and ready to serve a mission and I promise you that it will change your life, you will feel more peace and joy then you possibly could imagine and your love for people with fill your heart so much because of the people you meet that you will KNOW that your life wouldn't have been complete without the mission.

I love you all, stand up for what is right, because its worth it.

LOVEEEEEEEE YOU ALL
