THE END...

Wow, here is the last email of my mission. I first want to thank everybody who has read these emails. I hope they have been of help and that I haven't been forgotten haha. I also want to thank everyone that has prayed for me and for the missionaries, it really means a lot, and it works. I will not officially be done or released from being a missionary until the night of June 22nd, that's when I'll be flying home. But you know it's kind of sad to think about it sometimes, but other times I also get excited. But I truly will miss being a missionary, I really think it's going to be tough to recreate the joy and experiences I've had during these past 2 years, I'm still going to try to be my own little missionary in a way, but not through knocking every door haha. I've enjoyed this last transfer (6 weeks) . It has been very fulfilling and a great way to end. I can't remember if I talked about my new and last companion, his name is Elder Poulsen, and he has been fun and kept me going strong to the end. I can't really believe that somehow 2 whole years have passed! I guess my memory isn't amazing and I can't remember, but I am very grateful to have had this opportunity, it has changed my life, my perspective on God's plan and the gospel. I will never be the same.

We recently have been finding a lot of people through teaching English classes. It's a great way to get to know more people and meet their needs because a lot of latinos that come to America are trying to learn English so they can work and get paid more haha. We teach them English and then at the end we go over a few doctrines of the church and it's been working well! This area has been nice to keep us busy and serving others. We have been doing a lot of service actually, it's called Frederick Rescue Mission and we pretty much help people take their food that they got for free to their cars. There are a lot of latinos that do it too! While we take the food to their car we ask them about English and if they want their own personal English class, and a lot of the time they say yes, and then we go to their house and teach them English and the gospel, it's a great time!! 

Yesterday, after church we went home to get some lunch, and when we came back we were met with a small miracle. My companion had an interview for a baptism that is going to happen, after we started leaving the church we saw 2 latinos sitting in their car in the parking lot crying. We went up and started talking to them, they explained to me that their 2 daughters are not listening to them and doing a lot of rebellious things that are making the parents really sad. They said that this country has changed them and they don't know what to do to get their daughters back, it was heartbreaking to hear honestly, I could feel their remorse. They said  they searched up a church to go to and pray and they were guided to ours, I know that god led them to us because we are never at the church at that time on Sundays. Only yesterday we were there to meet and console them. I was able to promise them that as missionaries we help families unite and receive extra power and light from God to confront situations like this. It was a powerful moment.

Other than that I could write and tell some other stories but I guess that will have to wait until I get home. I hope you all know that I love my mission! I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I know my savior is real, he does exist and he is the only way to have a fullness of joy and happiness in this life and the next. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints is his church and kingdom on the earth today, it has a living prophet and 12 living apostles. God speaks to his children still today, he is the same forever and he loves us. I am always here to share and help you grow your relationship with your loving father in heaven and his son Jesus christ.

Well that's it! Please reach out after the mission. I would love to stay in contact, see you all in 12 days, love you all!

Con todo el amor del mundo
