Week #102 - Final Farewell

Dear Family and Friends,

I personally would like to thank everyone for the love and support during these last two years. Especially all the prayers that peopled have asked for my health, my safety, and that I may be a great missionary! I thank everyone for that love and patience. Especially with how terrible I am of a writer! 

These last two years have been ¨de lujo¨ and I couldnt be more grateful to my Father in Heaven for sending me to Paraguay. I have had the honor to serve and give my all to these people in Paraguay and I wouldnt trade it for anything in this world. I have worked hard to do everything that the Lord expects of me and it was not perfect. But I know and feel that the Lord is pleased with my efforts and I know that He loves each and everyone of his Children. I can honestly say that I have been converted to the Lord. I know he lives and that it is through his atonement that we are made clean. I know that this is the only true church where we can make sacred covenants witht the Lord to gain Eternal life. I know that Joseph Smith is the Lord´s prophet called to restore His church and His ordinances. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I love my Heavenly Father and I know that his will is and forever will be what is best. It was an honor and there were many fruits from the labors, and I was blessed to see most of them :) Alma 26: 3-5

 Luckily I dont have to stop being a missionary and I can still share my testimony and help others come unto Christ :) I am sad to leave my family here but I feel that it is time and I cannot wait to be with my family again and share so many experiences :) I love you all and again I thank you for keeping me in your thoughts these last two years! I will see you soon :)

Love

Week #101

Dearest Family,

I do not have much time because I promised a family I would come to their Family Home Evening a little bit early today, but this last week was a really good week! I felt like I hadnt been in my area for so long! There were people calling for me wondering where I was and coming back a lot of people missed me! Haha they were relieved because they thought I had left without saying good bye! I had the normal divisions and all went really smooth. Yesterday I was surprised to walk into Sacrament meeting and being asked to give a Farewell Talk because next week we also have District Conference. My farewell talk went really well. It was hard to control my emotions, but I felt a genuine spirit that I will never forget as I shared my testimony and experiences. I am going to miss Paraguay! 

I want to thank everyone for remembering my birthday this week :) 21 is a perfect number! For the first time in a while I am going to have an age that I feel that is appropriate! Thank you for the birthday wishes and the prayers. I apologize for the shortness but I cannot wait to talk to everyone face to face :) I love you and I will write one more time next week!

Love Always,
Elder Milton
