A new mission...

Well this is the hardest time in my life right now. I am home. I’m am crushed that I left my true home. Being on my mission was the greatest thing I could have done.

I learned so much, grew closer and closer to this gospel and now I am on another mission to grow closer and closer to Christ through the atonement. To fully change and fully become what the lord wants me to become. I have messed up and I have made some bad choices I deeply regret. But I am grateful to have gained a testimony and a deeper faith about the atonement and I find joy and peace knowing that I can be forgiven. I love this gospel, I loved my mission and I loved being able to serve the people of Africa and love and support them.

This is not easy for me, or for anyone that I may have disappointed, hurt, maybe even shocked. But I’m willing and ready to face the challenges of whatever may come. Because I am excited to be a new person and a better person, and a more valiant servant to our lord and redeemer. And through Christ and his atonement I know that I can be. This gospel and the teachings are so real and powerful and I can not deny them. The love and mercy that the heavens have for us is so real if we are truly broken and willing to give up our ways to the lord, and accept the ways that the lord wants us to go.

Thank you for the support and love and the prayers while I was on my mission. And I pray that that love and support may never stop. I love everyone, I’m am sorry if I may have ever hurt you, disappointed you, or have been a bad example. Please forgive me. This is a very hard and hurtful time, but I know that through it on I can find that pure and true joy that we all need in life. And turn those weaknesses into strengths. And I can’t wait to be the man the lord wants me to become!
