| Rio Grande Zone on P-day |
Well, this is it. The end has come in the end of the world. Not much happened since I wrote last week (On Wednesday). We went on a hike today to the Laguna Esmeralda. It was super icy and I fell a few times, but it was so much fun! We got together with the zone from Rìo Grande, so I was able to see Hermana Càrdenas :) We are going to have an asado in a few minutes.
This week I am going to work harder than ever to have a baptism on my last day. Josè (from the kiosco) is progressing and has a fecha (baptismal date) for Friday. Please pray for him!
Here are the plans: on Saturday at 5am I leave Ushuaia to go to Comodoro. On Monday I have my final interview with President and then on Tuesday I leave for Buenos Aires. I arrive Wednesday morning in Salt Lake.
It`s hard for me to put into words everything that I`ve felt and learned in the mission. I can`t count the ways that I`ve grown spiritually and as a person. I can`t describe the feeling of having a prayer answered or being able to testify of the Savior.
All I can say is that I feel very grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary. I feel grateful for the many people that I've met and how they've each touched my life in a special way. I`m grateful for my Savior and the opportunity to start the week with a clean slate. I`m grateful for the tender mercies of our Heavenly Father. I`m grateful for the rainy days, wind, dogs, cold, and the many "no"s. I`m grateful for the faithful members who show me that a life devoted to Christ is the only way to be completely happy. I`m grateful for my family and the ways that they have grown during these 18 months. I`m grateful for all of the people who mention the missionaries in their prayers.
The list goes on and on and on...
I want to share my simple testimony that I know God lives. I know because I feel it in my heart and I see His hand in my life. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that it has power to change hearts. I know that the atonement exists. It cleans, comforts, and strengthens us. I am grateful for baptism and the sacrament. I know that God wants families to be together forever. I know that there is life after death. I know that this is the only true church and that the fullness of the gospel is here on the earth. I know that Pres. Monson talks with God and I am grateful for his guidance and counsel
I can`t thank you all enough for your support and prayers during my mission. I love you all very much and I`m grateful that you are a part of my life.
Con mucho amor,
Hermana Davis
