Come and I will make you fishers of men

Elder Fogg Mode - Ben Mode

Well this is going to be the last one. As I was thinking of a title for this one I thought of a couple of things... «A sick way to end», «If you are called to lay down your life, die like a man» (Joseph Smith) or «blood and guts». I'll let you guys decide what is the best for this last one.

This week, I got sick. It was annoying to end the mission this way but today I have am better. (hence the titles). We had to stay home Saturday. It was hard staying home and not working. It just goes to show how much of a privilege it is to serve the Lord and how little time we have to do it. At any moment, it could be taken from us. 

I have had a great time on my mission. I have learned a ton. I have grown. At times it hurt, at times it was bliss. As I have come to the end, my mission president asked me what I learned from my mission.  At that time, I had not thought too much.  After that question, I have pondered and I have learned a ton. The only way that I could have learned all that stuff was here on this mission. Yesterday, a sweet sister asked me how I was feeling. She asked «Are you feeling sad? Are you feeling excited? Are you confused?» I am very confused. I feel all those and more. I am sad that I am leaving this behind but happy that I will soon be with family and friends again. Thanks so much for the support and the prayers. I was called to serve by a prophet of God. I heard the voice and did the best I could have done. I hope the Lord consecrates my action to him.
