Week 77. This is it!

Let me just tell you all about how amazing this experience of a mission has been. This is indescribable. No one that has not experienced this can imagine the things I have learned. I don't even think I recognize all the blessings that have come into my life or that will come into my life as result of serving this mission.

 It says in Helman 3: 35 Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea,even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts untoGod. 

I love this scripture. As I read it, I just felt like it is a perfect "ending the mission" scripture. The mission has provided me with the opportunity to wax stronger in my humility, to where my soul is filled with joy. And not completely yet, but helping my heart be purifyed and sanctified. Why? Because I have given my heart to God. To Him. My Savior and my Redeemer. And I have complete confidence that that is where my heart will one day beome perfect and pure. 

There is nothing more I want in this life than to complete the plan God has for me. And I am very aware that after the mission I have the rest of my life to dedicate to Him. I am excited to give all my life to Him. What things is He going to let me do? How are they going to help me become more like Him? Will I have to overcome some big trail to learn a vital lesson that will assure my place in the celestial kingdom? Whom will I get to help? Who will I be able to take with me there? There is no doubt in my mind that I'm going to make it there because It's all so clear out in front of me and I will overcome anything He gives, to prove to Him my worthiness and love. 

Maybe one day it won't all seem so clear but I can always remember the time I've had here and get the eternal perspective again. PROGRESS - How am I going to progress more when I get home? What are the next steps to take? To make it back and make it back with as many people as I can bring with me! 

This last week.............let's just say I have occasional moments when it hits me and I cry haha but my companion has helped me set goals and I will have a great last week. I'm leaving this area with many families! Saying Goodbye is going to be so hard. 

I will see you in a week! I can't even believe it! I'm so excited to see you guys and I am so excited to show you this wonderfully crazy place and visit all the people I've met here! NOS VEMOS! 

Love, for the last time. HERMANA QUIST
