....I was released by President Lunt this evening around 5pm. It was a neat little program thing. All the family was there. :) We talked, Pres. Lunt gave me a minute to bear my testimony. I know that this mission is what the Lord wanted me to do. He knows me so much better than I know myself. I have loved this opportunity to serve and it has helped give a backbone to my testimony. I know the truth of the gospel, the Atonement, and temple work and know it is correct and right and divine. :) Pres Lunt shared about opportunities to share the gospel like with one of his PT assistants. Dad and mom and Chris all shared little tidbits of how they're proud of me and that the Lord really does know and love us!
So that's it. I'm now released from my mission. I seriously can't even believe it! What do I do with my life now??? haha
Dad gave me some great advice on the way home: Find balance. Find balance between serving and also school/work/etc. and family. Right now, it's been a little out of balance in favor of "serving the Lord" side, but I just need to make sure I still serve, but find balance.
I'm so excited to give my mission report tomorrow. I just excited to talk about my mission!!!
