LAST WEEK at the MTC!!

This is my last P-day in MTC! AAih-Yah!

I've started packing today and my goodness I can't believe I'm gonna leave this place

I will be flying from salt lake, to sanfrancisco CA, to Taipe Taiwan, to Hong Kong

it's about 17 hours or something of flight

we leave on monday evening and arrive in hong kong on wednesday morning

I will probably have time to call my family on monday evening/night at the airport

Oh, And Saturday before Noon is my last mail distribution day! So please send whatever you mean to send before friday ish because monday is labor day and I will not receive the mail!

anyways,

last week one of our companionships in the district had a baptism and we even had some investigators attend, and I gave a talk about baptism in Cantonese at the service!! It was just a really fantastic experience!! I am SO HAPPY, it's truly a miracle to see people change their life and come to know the truth themselves and testify!!

So I have been thinking lately, that the word "together" is probably my favorite word, Everything about me, all my motivation, all my being is driven by the concept of "together". I love my family, and I love my friends, I like loving people, and there is just a pure true happiness living for someone else,

I want to be with the people I love, together with them forever, the people I met in this life mean so much to me, in the end, I want to see them and be able to live with them forever. And the only thing that provides that is our Heavenly Father's plan, it is only through living the gospel and keeping the commandments of God that we can be together with our loved ones, including our loving Heavenly Father and our Savior for ever for eternity.

I have left some very precious people to come out on a mission without any earthly friends beside me, but I did it because I want people to be able to hear about this gospel and have the chance to accept it, that everyone can be together with their family, with their dear loved ones forever through this gospel. And I know I have met some amzing people here in the MTC as well during the 10-12ish weeks, they are very precious to me and I want us to be together as well, and I know that through this mission I will continue to find people I love and care so much about, and want to be together with them too,

this gospel provides just that, this gospel, our Heavenly Father's plan provides a way for all of us to be with our precious people forever,

I am on my mission because I love my brother's and sisters, I am on my mission because I want to share with them this news that we can be together forever, that this life on earth isn't everything and that there's happiness waiting for us if we would accept the gospel and let the Lord change us into becoming the Godly beings that we all have the potential to become. Last sunday in relief society meeting at church we had a speaker, sister Lindley come and speak, and she is a very inspriational member missionary, from her I learned that we should never give up. If this gospel is important to me, and I love my friends, they should already know that this means a lot to me and is a huge part of my life, This gosple is what gives me direction in life. Because I have this relationship with my Father in Heaven, I can just put all my trust in Him and don't have to worry or stress, I only have to just go and do what He tells me to do and everyting works out. I would be absolutely nothing without Him, I would not be where I am without Him, my life is full of small and big miracles, and I want everyone else to have this stability, this testimony this relationship with Father and Heaven as well, so that They also may have peace in life and trust in God and feel fulfilment in life. If we truly know the value of this gospel, we would never stop inviting people, they need this, this is the whole point of life.

I can't wait to go out into the field, I can't wait to start talking to all the children of God that I will come across, I can' t wait to start sharing with people on the airports

I love you all so much, I hope all of you are coming closer to the Lord as I am, and as other people I am inviting are,

I hope you never lose faith,

Keep going, never give up, keep working hard, and I know you all will be so much more amazing by the time I see you again!
