The Last Letter

Well, it's been a wonderful year, but unfortunately, my mission has come to a close a bit earlier than expected. Do not worry, I did not get dishonorably sent home, nor do I have a life threatening disease. I hope you can excuse my vague discussion of the matter seeing as how I am writing this on the internet for the whole world to see. Just know that I am doing 100% okay. There is honestly no need to worry for my well being, my testimony or anything else. I am saddened that I did not get to complete my 2 years in Korea, but I feel that the Lord still has a plan for me. So again, please do not be alarmed and try not to be too curious as to the reason why I am home. It's not that interesting and frankly not something I think I will be relaying to the world. To all my nieces and nephews out there. Missions are FANTASTIC! I encourage each and everyone of you to start or continue preparing to go on your very own mission someday. It will work wonders in your life and there are few feelings that compare to the satisfaction you get doing the Lord's work. I am so very grateful for the opportunity I had to serve among the Korean people this past year. It has truly been a defining point in my life and I will cherish the memories forever. I want all of you to know that I know this church is true. I love my Savior and am so grateful for the sacrifices He made for me and you. He lives and through Him and Him only, we can return to live with our Heavenly Father again as eternal families. The gospel is GOOD. Cherish it.

PS These are pictures from my mission spanning from the MTC to my last weeks in Korea. They are in reverse chronological order, so this very first picture was the most recent. Enjoy!
