Well, here we go! My last email as a missionary.
I don't have a lot to say that I haven't already said.
Mostly because it hasn't hit me yet. And it probably won't
hit me 'till I'm on the plane.
I guess, as this amazing, life-changing adventure is coming
to it's unavoidable (trust me, I tried) end, I can say that this has been the
best decision I have ever made.
Before my mission I was looking at a poster that was given
to me from a beloved choir teacher that says "Decisions Determine
Destiny." As I looked at it I thought about the decisions I had made up to
that point and what my destiny would have been according to those decisions. It
was at that point that I knew I had to serve a mission. That out of all the
decisions I could have made at that time in my life the decision to serve a
mission would be the best.
I am so grateful I made that decision. I'm so grateful for
the gift of agency that allows us to choose our destinies.
I love Korea and I love Missionary Work more than I can
express in writing. As I have tried to help people come closer to Christ here
in Korea, they have been helping me come closer to Christ.
I will definitely miss the time in my life where I only go
to focus on and worry about serving the Lord better every day. But even when I
go home, I will still give my heart and might, mind and strength to Him.
Thank you all for your love, your support, your email, and
your letters. I will never forget the love I have felt from my friends and
family back home :)
Saying Goodbye!
