Time Is Running Out

This has been the week of lasts: last interview with the Mission President, last exchange, last time attending church in England, last times I see friends I've made, etc.

But it has been such an honor to serve the Lord for the past 2 years. He knew I loved it so much he gave me a whole 11 extra days to be a missionary (I was set apart on the 20th of June 2021 and I am released on July 1st, 2023)!

Speaking of running though, Elder Silva and I did a 10K today to help me practice for the Fireball on the 4th shortly after I get back. It was challenging but definitely fun.

I find it difficult to put into words the way I feel about my mission and how I can express the gratitude and magnitude towards its effect on me.

This past Sunday, the Stake President of the Canterbury Stake pulled me aside for a few minutes and shared his appreciation to me for my service and help in the Stake. It was super nice of him. One thing he said though was that it's okay to not exactly know how to put into words the great feelings and experiences you have. He said when we get to the edge of language, that's the best spot to be. I really liked that. He couldn't have put it better.

I know that Christ is risen, that God has a plan we can trust, and that there's no greater way to have enduring peace than through living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hope to see many of you soon!
