This is it! My last missionary email. Sorry it's taken me so long to do it... I just haven't been quite ready to sit down and try to put into words all that my mission experience meant to me. Finally I just decided that it's okay that I can't! You all know those things that are just too much for words!
I know that God led to me paths and people on purpose, that the things I've learned and the people I've met have already blessed my life immeasurably, and I know blessings will continue to unfold for the relationships that I've made as a missionary. I love that He has a perfect plan that He so readily reveals to us if we will seek it. I know that the gospel is simple, but it's also simply perfect: Love God and love His children. I know that as we do so, we will find peace and joy, things that the world doesn't offer. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in God's restored church on the earth, and that the covenants we make in God's holy temples are the key to progress in this life and the life to come; if we will keep those promises and keep His commandments, one day we will find ourselves all together as families that can live together forever because we've been found worthy of so great a blessing! I love the Book of Mormon. I know it to be true because I feel peace when I read it, as every honest seeker of truth does and will. Please read it everyday! It's changing my life:) I'm grateful for a Heavenly Father who loves me and knows me perfectly. Who allows me the chance to have this beautiful (and messy) mortal experience, and who never lets me mess it up too bad
. I'm grateful beyond words for the Savior and His Atonement that allows me to be just a little bit better today. I'm so grateful for the opportunity I've had to be a special representative of Jesus Christ. I love Him! I know He is real and that He lives. I know that He can be a part of our daily lives if we'll let Him, and that is the way to be happy today and everyday 'til we get to eternity:).

Lucky for me, missions don't have to end when we take off the tag, our Heavenly Father has a special mission in store for each of us, and my Ecuador/Arizona mission has just been the best part of my life mission so far.
I can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you for your support during my time as a missionary! I felt your love and prayers and I love each and every one of you! (Shoutout to Emma for reminding me she's been waiting for this, you're the best:)
