That's a super famous banda song here. But sadly it's true. Mi gente...this is the very last time you'll hear from me as a missionary. You can count on seeing my blog posts and my insta bien bonita. But a weekly email like this? Ya no. It's kind of saddening really. But at the same time very exciting.The mission has taught me what it could and now it's time to learn new things. Dang it. But let me tell you people what I have learned. In Venezuela I learned Spanish and learned to be Chapin. In Tesoro I learned to work hard. In Mita I learned to love people. In Vista Hermosa I learned to be inspired and follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost. But overall in my 18 months of the mission I think the 3 biggest things I've learned is to have Faith in God and his plan, to love people, and to really be myself. I thought that these were attributes that I already had mastered at home. Turns out no, I did not. The mission has really helped me to develop and aquire new skills and work on the ones I already had. And really more than anything I think the mission has helped me to become a better person. I'm still not perfect but it's helped me to try harder. Y honestly I think that's the purpose of this life, to try. God sees the intentions of our hearts and blesses us for it. As my Grandpa Judd said, "The Lord looks on the heart." We're all imperfect and we're not going to be succesful in everything we do. But if we try all will work out. That's the nice thing about having a loving Heavenly Father. Now am I nervous for the future? Heck yes. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. But I know it'll all work out. 'Cause everything always does. I don't know why people stress so much. Why do I stress so much? Haha anyway mi gente I truly do love you people. Thanks for being along for this adventure. Now I'm off to be shocked by the world. I know that life goes on without a body. Pero until the next adventure of mine! Nos Vemos!
