Letter #76

Final e-mail home. Sent: Mon 8/25/14 2:53 PM

I can't believe the day has come. I don't know how to explain the feelings or thoughts that are going through my heart and mind right now.
I am really nervous to come home but I am also really excited to see everyone! It honestly does not even feel real. This past week has been such a roller coaster of emotions. I don't really know what to say other than what I know to be true. And that is I know with all my heart that the Atonement of Jesus Christ is real. I've had the sweet pleasure of witnessing it every single day as I meet and teach people about its enabling and redeeming power. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it changes lives. I know it because it had changed mine and I can promise that we can deepen our relationship with Christ as we read from its pages. I am grateful for the Prophet Joseph Smith, for his faith, his courage, and the sacrifices that he made in order
for us to have the restored gospel. I know that our Prophet today, President Thomas S. Monson is also called of God to guide and direct us in these hard times. I am so incredibly grateful for my mission and for the opportunity that I've been given to be one of the Lords representatives for the past 18 months. The joy that I have received from watching people completely change and to better their lives and live in harmony with our Heavenly Fathers will, is something that I
will cherish forever. I love the people of Oregon and will be eternally grateful for each and every person that I have met out here. They have helped me to learn and grow into the person that I am now.
Thank you. Each of you for all that you have done to support me. I have felt your prayers and your love. I can't tell you how grateful I am for the family and friends that I have. I am so blessed.

I have to go to the transfer spot now but I can't wait to see all of you!

See ya tomorrow!

Love,
Sister Hall

My Testimony

I would just like to bear my testimony that I know Heavenly Father is there. Always. No matter what. He knows each of us personally and wants us to be happy. He loves us, and cares about what is going on in our lives. He hears our prayers and knows the intent of our hearts. I know without a doubt in my mind that this is the true church and that Joseph Smith was a true prophet called by God and that through him the gospel was restored to its fullest. I know that the Book of Mormon is another Testament of Jesus Christ and that it was brought forth in these last days to bring peace, comfort, and knowledge to all those who read and apply it. I know that Thomas S. Monson is our prophet today and that he was also called by God to help lead and guide us through these hard times. I know with all my heart that the Atonement is real and that if we truly repent and come unto Christ we will be forgiven and be perfected in him. I am so grateful for the Plan of Salvation and to know that families can be together forever. I would like to thank my family for being here today and for all that they do for me and the love and support that they show me. I am so grateful to be a part of this wonderful gospel and the knowledge and understanding I have of its eternal truth. I say these things, in the name of thy son Jesus Christ, Amen.
