"how are you handling your final two weeks in the mission field?" ^^^^^^^^
I
basically have almost ran out of worlds at this point, I feel like alot
of the things I could say or stories I could tell would seem a little
superficial and wouldnt describe well my feelings about these past few
weeks. I have been trying to focus all of my thoughts and all of my
studies on Jesus Christ, So I wanted to share a few things I took away
from it!
John 6:66-69
66 ¶ From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
Some
of my fears about coming home is my fear of losing this testimony, this
spirit, of not "walking more with christ" of "going back" to the old
me. But when I studied this part, I remembered that my testimony is
rooted in Christ. I know that HE has the words of eternal life! Duh that
I will not "go away" because I KNOW that Jesus is the Christ, the Son
of the living God.
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
These
are things that I KNOW because I have FELT them. I am not very good at
expressing my testimony over the internet, but I can promise that we
have a savior, redeemer, that he knows us, loves us, he knows my name
and my struggles, and that especially as we are preparing to celebrate
this easter, his ressurrection, I know that he grants EVERYONE a second
chance, a new beginning, and that he is the prince of peace. (go watch
the video on mormon.org "prince of peace").
I love my mission! It is an experience that, if I had it my way, everyone would have :)
