My last Epistle,
Ok, so I am about to say what every dying missionary says, I can't
believe this day has come... Who would've thought that 18 months would go by so
fast! This has been the greatest 18 months of my entire life. Yes, there have
been ups and downs and in betweens, but there have been super highs and
unexplainable experiences that I will ever be grateful for. There are so many
fond memories I have here in Kansas that I will never forget! How I will miss
this place!
- The
people! So many wonderful people that have been sent by God to me to help
me or for me to teach the gospel to.
- Seeing
the changes the gospel makes in a person’s life. Especially mine!
- My
backyard being lit on fire at 11pm by a crazy psycho.
- Feeling
the Spirit as you teach the gospel and seeing how it “clicks.”
- The
sound of running water in the church, as someone I came to love gets
dressed in white.
- Being
a representative of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
- Bed
bugs.... NOT!
- Sitting
in church with an investigator and feeling the Spirit.
- Seeing
investigators recognize confirmations from the Spirit.
- Change!
There is so much I wish I could express through this email, but
sadly I can't. I have loved every second of being the Lords missionary!
Everything I have done in this year and half has been for my Savior. I have
gone out in the heat, cold, stormy tornado weather, to teach what I love and
know to be true. I was never forced. I have done this because I want to bring
the light this gospel has brought to my life to others. I have had thousands of
doors slammed in my face, but those that have opened their door and let us in
has made those thousands worth it. I have met so many wonderful members with
such a desire to share the gospel to their friends, and have been wonderful
examples. I have seen them embrace complete strangers into the church, and love
and take care of them. The sweetest moments of my mission, are the times when
the Lord allowed me to see his children as He does, with love and all that they
can become. Brothers and sisters this church is true and contains the fullness
of the gospel. The Book of Mormon is holy scripture and another testament of
our Savior Jesus Christ. I promise you that as you read it with a sincere heart
and act upon its precepts, you will come closer to God than by any other book.
Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and called to restore His church upon the
earth, so that we may no longer be in darkness but guided by God’s chosen
leaders through revelation once again.
When my mission is over I will be steadfast and immovable as a
living epistle of Jesus Christ and love my Savior forever more. I belong to the
Kansas Wichita Mission family, Hoorah for Israel!
Love,
Sister Magda
