Hey Y'all
I wish I could describe every little amazing thing that happens, but I don't have the words to do it. There are so many things that have happened that I haven't even touched on- but, if you throw it all together, I'd say I've had an amazing mission so far. This week I will hit my year mark and I can't even describe how grateful I am for everything that has happened in the past year. I've had so many moments of joy, heartache, and everything in between and I am grateful for all of it. For the moments I wanted to throw in the towel or "ring the bell", for the moments I was strengthened by the Lord to continue on. For the people I've met, the conversations I've had... All of it. Sometimes, it is hard to see how far I've come, particularly recently, but I know that even if I can't always see it, I am a changed woman- and because of that change, I can help others change.
"THIS IS WHERE HAPPINESS IS!" - Elder Bott
This Gospel is where we can know complete and true happiness. Yeah, there will still be hard times, but having the knowledge that you can be with your Family for Eternity and live in the presence of God, that you can be forgiven of your mistakes and sins, that we have a Savior and Redeemer who knows each of us personally can eliminate any darkness.
I love y'all and I love these crazy wonderful Alabamians with all my heart. Don't give up the good fight.
much love,
sister nelson
