last days

Well! This is the last one. Sometimes I can't believe it's come to an end but here it is. My last week in the mission went by quickly. To be honest it didn't feel real that my mission was over but saying goodbyes hit that home. Every time we left a house or said goodbye to a member I had the thought that this would be the last time I would see them or be in that house. It was a sobering thought. 

Friday night we had a full day planned for Saturday when we got a phone call saying that due to the elections, we had to be home by 6pm Saturday and that Sunday we couldn't leave, just for church in the morning. So I spent my last day as a missionary running around my area saying goodbyes! It was a little disappointing but it was for our safety. Sunday we attended church and then we ate pozole with a member and then it was back home. After about an hour I was going crazy so I put myself to pack a few things and then I started baking. With the Bishop living above us we got to go up and we watched a short Church movie with them and then it was back down to our apartment. 

In my studies this week I focused on chapter 6 of Preach My Gospel which is about the attributes of Christ. I feel like there is so much more I need to learn and to change but I guess that is what we have our lives to do. I've changed on the mission and now I'm going to put into practice what I studied and taught for the last 18 months. I know it won't be easy but it is always worth it. 

I love you all!

Love,
