Like i said ill be sending out a letter to you guys , but i realy want you guys to know how much I personaly have changed and simpley opened my eyes to the real purpose of this life. The misison has chnaged me and helped me learn so incredibly much and for that i will be eternally thnakful. The mission is the best decision i hvae ever made and i really hope you guys can fel that because it really comes form my heart and soul. I know the church is true, i know the Lord knows a¡each and every one of us individually and i know that all he wants is ofr us to be happy. I know this is the work of the Lord and I know there is nothing more important than this, sharing these blessig with others :) I love being a missionary and i know that this few short years is only the start of serving my heavenly father in his church. I know he lives and i know miracles are real :)

Love you guys and hope you have an awesome week :) know your in my prayers.

With Animo, hard work, a few more weding in the books, baptism and of corse all the Love I have form the best misison in the world!
