My blog has epically failed at being updated, thank you to Rielyn. Sorry about it.

My year in the mission field has been the best year in my life, as well as for my life. I have learned more about myself and my Savior than I could have any other way. And I'm not done yet.

I have learned that I can love, and that I am lovable.

I am My Father's daughter.

Everything happens for a reason, and all things for a purpose.

The Gospel brings true happiness-that's a fact.

Jesus Christ is real.

God is Almighty.

The Book of Mormon does save and change lives.

Prayers are always answered.

Blessings come by obedience.

Disciple=Discipline

We show our love for God by our obedience to His commandments.

Love doesn't hurt.

It is possible to forgive continually.

Loving others isn't conditional.

Miracles do happen.

 

The things that mattered to me and were important to me a year ago

aren't the same things that matter now.

Everything has a different meaning.

I'm a different person-I am exactly who I want to be.

Humility has allowed the Lord to make more of me than I could make of myself.

 

 

I love my mission.

I love my Savior.

I love my people.

I love the Dakotas.

I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I love the scriptures.

I love my family.

I am in love with who the Lord is making me.

 

 

Here's the deal-yo why I'm home for 2 months:

In July, I got sick with female issues.

Little did I know, I also got CMV

;Cytomegalovirus

; a virus in the herpes family

; mono like symptoms

Somewhere along the line,

I also got mono.

Since I'm stubborn, I just kept trying to push my body.

After not being able to keep food down, ulcers in my throat,

and completely exhaustion,

I was informed I was going home to heal.

(Also, get my tonsils removed.)

7 months of illness has really kicked my butt.

But the real reason the Lord brought me home is to help my family.

My mom is going through the temple,

and I get the blessing of being her escort.

 

 

Mosiah 4:9

Believe in God; believe that he is,

and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth;

believe that he has all wisdom,

and all power, both in heaven and in earth;

believe that man doth not comprehend

all the things which the Lord can comprehend.

 

I'm home for many reasons, and I'm still an instrument in the Lord's hands.

20 month mission-piece of cake!

 

 

 

 





 

 

 

 

 

 

Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ,

the Son of God.

I have been called of him to declare his word among his people,

 that they might have everlasting life.
