Last Email Before Heading Home

Dear Friends of the interweb!!!!

This email is the very last email I will send home as a Missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the New York, Utica Mission. The best part about all of this though, is that I have the same feelings as I did when I left home. Sad to leave those I have come to love, adore, and teach, and am going home to others whom I love, adore, and will get to know. But the one thing that still applies for when I left home on this blessed journey as a missionary, applies now as I depart from being a Missionary ending my journey. This is not good-bye forever, this is only good-bye for now! smile emoticon (Thank goodness for modern technology and Email, Facebook, and Youtube!)

So, as you know I went to the Palmyra Temple last week! Yes I did take pictures and a lot of you that are my Facebook have already seen a sneek peak of what is to be added to this email. Those of you who don't have access to Facebook, will get to see them here smile emoticon Not only did we go to the temple, but we got to tour a lot of church sites there including, the smith far and cabin, peter whitmer farm, the sacred grove, the printing press where the Book of Mormon was printed, and the Hill comurah where the Golden Plates where laid and buried! I will put captions with the pictures so that way you all know what is what. But For this final email I would like to say thank you and bear my testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ.

THANK YOU! To all of you who have supported me in the last 2 years of my life both verbally, spiritually, physically, and everything in between! Nothing can express the Love I have felt from all of you across the United States and else where and my deep gratitude for the blessing you all have been in my life and my families life.

I know that my redeemer lives, I know he is there, knows my name, and knows who I am. I also know that he knows each of you, loves you, knows your name, situation, and is willing and doing all he can to bless you in any way he can. I know that he died for us on the cross so that we can truly become clean from sin, and sorrow too, so that way we can be happy, blessed, and one day united with our families and with our Eternal Father in Heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ for all of Eternity. I have felt that power of the atonement of Jesus Christ in my own life again and again. He has been able to change me, shape me, and help me become whom he wants me to become. I can promise you that I am still learning, growing and will continue to do so, until that bright and perfect day when the savior of us all shall come to the earth once more. That day, will be a truly blessed day. I love my savior with all my heart, might, mind and soul, and will continue to serve him, be his servant, and an instrument in his hands forever till the day I shall surely die. I say these things in the blessed and sacred name of Jesus Christ Amen.
I will see and talk to you all very soon!

Love Ya's!
