4 Months

It has been exactly four months since the day I came home from the MTC on Medical Release. I just wanted to take the time to let you all know how I am doing and also bear my testimony to you. I know that although coming home after only 6 weeks of my mission was never in my plans, it was in the Lords- and that is truly all that matters. It has been a very tough 4 months and I have had a lot of challenges, but through them all I have grown up a lot and also changed a lot. It was the Lord's will for me to come home from my mission. He knew that I needed to grow and change before really serving my mission. I am so grateful for this opportunity I have had to be home and am also SO SO SO excited for the opportunity I have to put my papers in (for the second time) next Sunday. I am going to go back out on my mission a better person with greater desire to serve. Throughout this whole process of being home my desire to serve has NEVER decreased, only strengthened!! The reason this was possible was because I have a testimony. I know that the Lord wanted me to come home but I also knew that He wants me to serve a mission. I was so at peace with that and was able to put all of my Faith in him and His plan that he has for my life, without that there is NO WAY I would be returning as soon as next month!! I love the Gospel and I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is truly Christ's church restored on the earth once again. I am forever grateful for the power of the atonement and the knowledge that I have that my savior Jesus Christ suffered for my sins and all that I have gone through and has felt all of my pain- I am never alone no matter what I go through and that is the greatest blessing I could ever recieve.
