August 10 LAST ONE~!!!!!!

I can't believe it's here... I never thought this day 
would come.. In 2 different ways. 
1.)Because I'm so excited to see all of those whom
    I love!
2.)Because I'm dreading saying goodbye to new 
    people whom I love..
MIXED FEELINGS. 

This week, we FINALLY found an Investigator. 
A solid one, too. She is married to an active 
member. Her name is Sister Urey (: She's been 
coming to church since forever, and we've been 
trying so hard to get in with her.. she just has had 
a crazy busy schedule.  But we finally did!
And we have an appointment with her tomorrow 
night, at 7:00We'll be teaching her the Restoration (:

In other news..Sister Stolworthy is leaving the 
area, as well. We're closing down the area for 
Sisters. So, that makes 4 areas in a row I've closed 
down. Not sure how I feel about that...  The Lord 
has a plan, that's for sure. 

I have absolutely loved being a missionary!
I am so thankful for my mission!
I never would have been the person I am 
today without it. No doubt about that!
I have come to know my Savior..
I know that He suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, 
I know He died on the cross..for US. 
I know that He has been with me every step of the
way for the past 18 months. He has carried me when 
I was sure I couldn't take another step.. He has comforted 
me when I had no one.. 
He has changed me. 

If there is one thing that I've learned, it's that the 
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the Lord's 
kingdom on earth! We have a Prophet today, Thomas S. 
Monson, who receives direct revelation for us! 
This is the way! This is the plan!
I know that this gospel is for EVERYONE. 
Young, old, black, white, skinny, fat, tall or short...
EVERYONE is invited to come unto Christ!

I know that the Book of Mormon is true. 
I know that it is the Word of God, and that by reading it, 
we can know our Savior and our Father in Heaven!

I will always be thankful for my mission.

Thank you for all of your support and prayers!
You have no idea how much they were felt! 

I love you!
See you on Thursday!!!

Love, Sister Brinkerhoff
