Hoosier Missionary

Holy Cannoli. The. Time. Has. Come. This week, I will be returning home and will finish my journey as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is the most bittersweet thing in the world, truly. I have loved it so much, with all of my heart!!! Indiana and Ohio are my homes away from home. I definitely know I did all that I could these 18 months. I know that God loves the service I have rendered and more importantly the things that I learned that will help me in my future endeavors to serve. God is so good! This week was amazing! Many things happened. So. Many. Things. Sister Ferrell will be staying in Columbia City, and I will literally miss her and this place a lot! We have gotten to meet with jake several times this week, and he is doing so well! He has been reading and rereading passages and is comprehending the scriptures very well. He almost got to see conference and then he got sick:( but he wants to go back and watch it. He read the plan of salvation pamphlet and said that it makes a lot of sense and that he likes it. We committed him to pray and ask God about if it's true, so we will follow up with him tonight(: I will miss him! Conference was also super bomb. Sister Ferrell and I were so sad when it ended!!! One of my favorite parts was one of the area seventy's who was Korean, and his beautiful focus on "Looking up." It is this about phrase of which I want to leave my testimony: I testify that when we stop looking around at all of the things that ail us and hurt us, and instead look up to heaven and to Jesus Christ, that we will find and experience true joy. Look up! There are great things ahead because Heavenly Father loves you and will do everything is His power to bring you to salvation. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
