Here are some of the lasts:
Last "regular" interview with President Andersen-
They were behind schedule so it was a quickie. And I guess I will be
interviewing tomorrow anyways.
Last baptism interview- Angel passed!!
Last district meeting- I just love my district. It
was such a great meeting and how strange it is that groups of 18-22 year
olds gather and talk about how to help people come closer to Christ.
Last lesson with Angel- Everything is just super clear to her. Her lessons are always so easy because she just accepts it.
Last
baptism- Angel Ersoy was baptized on August 22, 2014. Such a tender
mercy for me that day! It was incredible, all I studied that morning was
the atonement and I truly felt carried on that day. Everything went
smoothly for the baptism. We were going to do a musical number with all
the missionaries in our district, but none of them were there when it
started. Thankfully our talented Elders appeared a few minutes before we
sang and it was so beautiful that Angel said we reminded her of the
Mormon Tabernacle Choir. She truly is one of Heavenly Father's elite
daughters!
Last lesson with a lot of people- Love the people here in Murfreesboro. They have touched my life more than they realize.
Last
sacrament meeting- Angel was confirmed!!! Also they sang, "I'll Go
Where You Want Me To Go" which was just a tad bit depressing! haha Love
the Stones River Ward. I consider myself very blessed for being able to
serve here.
Tomorrow will be full of emotions:
transfer meeting, temple trip, farewell testimony meeting, interviews.
And then I'll be seeing y'all in the SLC airport! Excited to see all of
your smiling faces!
WILL YOU pray that I won't get sick on the flight home?
Right
now I'm just kind of in a daze. Thankfully Sister West helps me to keep
going. My heart is filled with gratitude and joy for all of the people I
have been able to meet, the lessons that I have learned, and my own
change of heart. I love being a missionary.
I testify that it is through the Atonement that I
have been able to serve a mission. Faith brings miracles and obedience
leads to blessings. Our weaknesses are merely ways to improve ourselves.
The priesthood power and the power of prayer are two very real things.
Families can be together forever and we are all part of Heavenly
Father's family. Through my inviting others to come closer to Christ, I
have come closer to Him. I love my Savior and I know that He lives.
How great is my calling!
Love Sister Neener (:
