Goodbye wem 🫶 (week 69)

 Well everyone, welcome to the last email 😭😭 whattt this is crazy, I can't believe its here. It actually doesn't feel real at all haha. But next wednesday I will be getting on an airplane and flying back home to Utah. While I am excited to see all my family and friends, my heart is broken knowing that I have to leave this beautiful place with so many people that I have grown to love SO MUCH! ugh no one prepares you for how hard this is!! 💔

But first, here's a little bit about my amazing week ☺️💫

- THANKSGIVING!!! The Durham family had us over, it was a blast! 🍁 we also walked around green lake with a whiteboard asking people to write things they're grateful for!! It really made their day and we got to meet so many amazing people!

- new missionary training!! I love seeing all my friends at the mission office! At the meeting there were 5 of us that go home next week and they asked us to stand up and teach the restoration to everyone. As soon as we started the spirit was SO STRONG, I was literally shaking. I know everyone in the room felt it too!! It was just a really cool moment 🤍

- the past 3 days literally EVERYTHING we've had planned canceled :/ but it's cool to see how we always end up where we need to be!

- met an awesome lady at the store this week and we just really connected over her cute shoes and it turned into this awesome convo. When we were leaving I asked her name and she said "jada".... 🤯🤯 my jaw dropped. I rarely meet other jadas ahaha but she wants to meet up YAY!

- its christmas time🎄🎁🎅 downtown Seattle christmas tree lighting!!!!!

- we're having a Seattle blitz this friday, I'm sooo excited!! Miracles are coming 💌

- 🚨this saturday Elder Christofferson, one of the 12 apostles, is visiting our mission!!!! I am soo excited and so grateful I get to see him 4 days before I go home! Guess you'll have to come to my homecoming talk to hear about it though ;)🚨

Words will never be able to express how I feel about my mission. It has meant everything to me. I am a new person because of the experiences I've had here in Washington. While I've learned many things, the biggest blessing from my mission is my strengthened relationship with Jesus Christ. 🤍

I love my Savior, I know He lives. I know He loves you. I feel His love for those around me every single day and it has changed me. It's so powerful. He knows you so perfectly and has felt every little thing you go through. He is there to help you through life if you just let Him in. I know true and everlasting joy is found through Him. I know that because I've felt it on my mission. While this has been the hardest thing I've done in my life... I've never been closer to my Savior, and I've never felt such pure joy. I promise when you put Jesus Christ at the center of everything you do, you will find this joy, no matter what circumstances you may be in. Please reach out to me if you're struggling to feel His love, I want to help you know He is there!!

It has been an absolute pleasure to wear His name over my heart every day for the past 18 months. While it won't physically be there anymore, His name is written on my heart, and it will always be. I will continue to serve Him and invite others to come unto Him for the rest of my life!! 

Thank you for all the love and support you all have given me this last year and a half. It means more than you know. Shoutout to you if you've been reading my emails the whole time! THANK YOU!! I am so grateful to have the BEST family and friends 🫶🫶
