Week 86: Hey y'all

This past week has been the hardest of my mission.. Mentally it has been hard.. I've had to do a lot of swallowing pride and excepting God's plan for me...

Now with everything going on in the world my mission has been cut by 3 months and I'll be going home May 15th. I am both happy and devastated because of it.

I get to go home and see all my friends and loved ones that I miss like crazy!!

But it's hard, it came really unexpectedly for me and a lot of questions.

I was honestly fighting and denying it for a few days. Some people know this about me but I absolutely hate feeling powerless and this decision that was made, and being self isolated has been taking a toll on me mentally. One of the questions that popped up was why it is all happening.

That question was on my mind and worrying me for most of the week until the other night my companion was listening to a talk that had a story from Hugh B. Brown. (I linked the video below)

After hearing this story again my heart was definitely softened...

My mission has been the absolute greatest experience for me, my love for the Savior and His gospel, my testimony has all grown. I truly feel I have changed and grown closer to the man my Father in Heaven needs me to be.

Do I like the decision of ending my mission early, no, I do not. But my Heavenly Father knows what is best for me, his plan is perfect and he is always in control. After watching this video and hearing this story again. I know that I have a purpose I need to do at home soon, but while I am here I need to try and make the most of what I have left.

The Will of God
