To Mom:

Well this week was mostly just finishing everything up and getting ready to leave. I've given away pretty much all of my stuff. I bought a new shirt to wear home and gave away all of my other shirts and pants and stuff. We've had amazing success with sister Z who came to church again. She's actually a fashion designer and she said she's going to make me a jacket which I have seen and it's super dope. She's going to be baptized really soon. She came to church again and brought her sister in law C who is also awesome and will definitely get baptized as well. We've had some powerful experiences with them and they are totally on board. There's a ton going on in our area right now and since I'm leaving Elder Dos Santos is going to go to the other area for the next 2 weeks until he gets a new companion. That's going to be really hard for our ward because we have a ton of people we need to keep track of. I'm sure he'll sort it out though.

It feels really weird to come to the end of my mission. I want to say to you and to Dad thank you so much for raising me to have a testimony of the gospel and to go on the mission. I know that I have made more progress and improvement during these 2 years than any other time of my life and that the decision to serve a mission was the best decision that I (n)ever made. I'm so glad to know that the church is true and that the Book of Mormon is true and to be able to build the rest of my life on the foundation of the Savior Jesus Christ.

I love you

I'll see you on Thursday :)
