This is the last email I will send home as a missionary. My heart is breaking and tears are coming out of my ojos. :) This has been the best 18 months for my life. Maybe I didnt enjoy every minute but I sure did grow every minute. I have seen more miracles than I can even explain. I feel so grateful to come to know my Savior and His goodness through the lives of others and in my own life. I will never be the same. I feel as Alma felt when he said: Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yea, I say unto you, there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we, since the world began; yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God; for he has all power, all wisdom, and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things, and he is a merciful Being, even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name.
I
know that God is real. Because I feel Him. He answers my prayers. I
know that the Church is true. Because I have seen the truth of it in my
life. I know that Joseph Smith was and is a prophet of God and did
indeed see God the Father and His Son jesus Christ. I know that the Plan
of Salvation is real. I know that the Atonement is the biggest gift we
have been given. The atonement has changed me and continues changing me.
I will never be the same.
I invite you all to pray tonight and ask to feel His love. I promise you will feel it. I have felt it every day for 18 months.
Thank
you for all that have read, written, or sent me. I feel so much
support. thank you thank you thank you. I cannot express my gratitude.
Les amo! See you on the other side!
Con amor,
Hermana Kelson (for not much longer)
