Went to Boston yesterday and didn't have time to email. Now, it seems petty. I will see you all shortly and I will never, ever forget what has happened on my mission. I hope that I will talk with many of you soon! I've been talking about me and my mission for so long and it's about time I hear about how you're doing.
I'll say this:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the one true church on the earth. That is important to me because I would have no purpose or direction without a knowledge of what will happen after this life, and that is exactly what this gospel teaches me. This life is a gift, but it is not the full-package. The Book of Mormon and the Holy Bible hold the complete gospel of Jesus Christ. That is important for you because whether or not we chose to follow Christ, these books tell us that he will always love us and that he will always be there to help us. The things taught in these two books are answers written specifically for you to find. It is the all-access pass to understanding what God has in store for you. I as a missionary am not any more privileged than you in this fact. Anyone that puts their trust in the Lord and reads these books in faith will know for themselves that they are true. It's important to us because our God, our Father in Heaven, who so anxiously wants to see us again, has sent these teachings as a way of communicating with us while we're away. I know that someday I will see him face-to-face and daily I make an effort to show him how badly I want to get here. I will see you there, too. I know I will.
In the meantime, let's keep doing this together! This mission is over for me, but a bigger one is about to start for all of us. Let's pretend that it starts in three days. Say we're already prepared and that we already have the capacity to handle it. What do you say? Shall we continue?
