| One of the last pictures of my District. I love them all so much and will miss those going to Berlin. |
Well this is it. This is my last p-day in the MTC!!! Yahooo!! This has been the fastest yet longest 6 weeks ever. I am so excited and terrified!! I feel like spiritually I am so ready to go and serve. But I feel like I cant speak German as well as I would like to. But I know I will learn it soon in Germany. This week has just been crazy from everything as soon as we got our fight plans it was like oh man we have so much stuff to do!!! But we couldn't worry about that we had to focus on our investigators. And when we did this we had the best lessons. I'm sorry I feel like this letter is going to be really scattered because my mind is going like 100 mph... I don't even know what to think. I am SO excited to talk to you on Tuesday! I will be crying so hard I probably wont even be able to speak. Just to hear everyone's voices I cant wait!! I have been praying every day that I wont pass out on the plane again... That would be super awkward. I am going to ask the Elders for a blessing before we leave. Its so sad that we have to say goodbye to 3 of our Elders. I love them so much!! It makes me cry thinking about it. we have became so close. They are like family to me. I wish we could all stay together our whole missions! But I am grateful that I have gotten to know them, I know we will be friends forever.
Something crazy happened this week. So President Petersons wife, Sister Peterson every time she saw me she would tell me I look so much like her granddaughter, every time I was like oh cool I bet she is so nice and funny and beautiful.... haha just kidding I didn't say that. But then on Sunday they come in our class for our little lesson that we have every Sunday and after the lesson she came up to the sisters and said I have to give you all a hug I love you so much, She came up to me and said and of course one for my Erin... I was like what the heck.. How does she know my name is Erin. So I asked her who's Erin. She said my granddaughter is Erin.. But she spells it Erynn.. I was like that is my name!! We both kind of cried because I reminded her of her granddaughter, and she reminded me of Grandma. I really was homesick that day. By the way grandma, Papa said you were going to sneak in here. I have been looking for you every night. Maybe next week. I wrote in my journal I miss being called precious by my Nana, and being rocked in her chair and all of her kisses. I am crying trying to type this letter. I think it is finally hitting me that I am leaving and I wont be home for 17 more months This has been a very emotional week. I am sure this one will be even worse. But along with it being so emotional It has been so spiritual. We are teaching R.J he finally was understanding the whole concept of the gospel every time we would talk to him you could see the joy and happiness that our message was bringing him. Yesterday was our last lesson with Him. I knew I wanted to commit him to being baptized, We started talking about the importance of it and why its important. I asked Do you think its important to follow Christ in everything we do? He said yes! So I said even Christ was baptized and went into the blessings that we get from baptism. and I asked him if he would be baptized. I didn't have the whole baptism question memorized but when I spoke it and I asked Him it was the perfect German I have ever spoke. It was amazing I really felt the Lord helping me.I could feel Heavenly Father softening His heart so He would accept baptism. I was so happy! I couldn't even explain to Him how much Joy He was about to experience. There was so much love and the spirit was so strong in that room. We closed and were leaving and he said thanks again Ill see you latter. I started to cry. I knew I wouldn't get to teach Him again. Even though it was just a role play I never once thought of it that way. I loved him as a person and I wanted Him so much to just accept the Gospel! And when he did you cant help but be excited and happy for them, and you cant help but thank the Lord for putting them in your life. After he always gives us feedback, He told us we are wonderful our German is not perfect but the amount of love and passion we are trying to say it in comes across and you cant help but feel the spirit. It was a testimony builder for me for sure I finally felt like yes I can do this! I am a missionary, Heavenly Father is going to help me. All I have to have is Faith.
I love this gospel so much I love everything about it! The people I have meet the experiences I have had. Everything I wouldn't trade it for the world.
I was reading in D&C I believe 34 and it talks about the second coming and how its our job to prepare the world for the time of the Saviors coming. I couldn't help but get goosebumps as I read it. I am helping bring the good news of the gospel to the world. I am helping them prepare for the coming of Christ. I thought about when we reenacted the Book of Mormon and when we got to go up in the middle of the night and the Savior came. I will never forget the feeling of touching the Savior. I gained a testimony of the Savior. He lives and Loves us. He wants us to help bring this knowledge to the world. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ.
I feel like I don't really have much to say. I am just so excited to go and serve in Germany. This is really happening. This is real. I am so nervous and excited! I love all of you so much!! I hope everyone knows that. I am sorry if I haven't emailed or written you back. Time is limited but I want everyone to know I am grateful for your love and support. I keep thinking about when I get home. And how it will be. I cant wait. Maybe everyone could be in lederhosen (?) at the airport. But until then I am giving everything I have to the Lord! My whole heart is in this. I don't want to look back and have regrets. Everything we do we either learn or grow from it, So we shouldn't really look at it as regrets but rather learning moments to help us be better people in the future. I know my life has been forever changed because of my mission. I am so grateful to be a missionary and to Teach the gospel to the world I love it so much! I love all of you so much!! Thank you for being a part of my life and helping me grow and become the person Heavenly Father wants me to be. Don't forget to pray and read your scriptures I know it will bless your life in ways you wouldn't even think. Never take anything for granted. live each day to the fullest.
I love you all so much!!

| Classic Missionary photo. I love this gospel so much!! It brings so much joy to my life! I seriously everything about it. Sometimes we think its so hard to be a member of the church. But really it couldn't be easier. God has given us the book of Mormon and the gift of the Holy Ghost to help us. We have familes to help us learn and grow. Everything good that is around us in our life is from Heavenly Father to help us in this life so we can be the best we can be, so we can live with him again.! I love this gospel!! I love being a missionary!! Never forget to thank Heavenly Father for the blessings he has given us! I love you all so much!
