So today is my year mark. As I look back on what has happened in the past year of my service I have seen myself grown so much spiritually. And I have thought of all the amazing things that have happened on my mission: Temple Sealing, Reactivations, Baptisms, Confirmations, Priesthood Blessings, Service, Giving talks, etc. I am very grateful that the Lord provided a way for me to be a part of all those opportunities. I can only look forward to see what is to come in the next year of my service. I am very grateful for every one that impacted my life that has led me to this point. From Young Men Leaders, Bishops, Home Teaching Stake Presidents, Seminary Teachers, Sunday School Teachers, and Priesthood leaders, and most importantly my family - so thank you for teaching me gospel principles when you were raising me and I am grateful to all you siblings for your testimonies that have strengthened me and my faith when I was weak spiritually in my life. I plan on getting a bunch of thank you cards and sending them out to people and to leaders who have helped me and if y'all could send more stamps so that I could accomplish this that will be sweet too ha ha. I love y'all and again thank you! I can't wait to read your e-mail!
