For the past while I've been working towards a goal. A goal that consistently seemed to step backward as I stepped forward. I've been trudging and trudging and the feeling of not getting any closer became prominent.
A couple months ago my goal began to feel real.
It took shape.
I felt closer.
Today I realized that I felt calm and peace. A feeling that, yes I will get there. It's such an amazing feeling.
I am so thankful for the Holy Ghost and how it speaks to me. I can feel of the love that the Savior has for me through the Holy Ghost. I can feel peace and love when life seems bleak. I can retain perspective and know that I am loved. I can gain answers to the questions of my heart. I can be strengthened and comforted. I can be led to where my Father in Heaven would like me to go. I know that when we live the way that Christ would have us live we are able to have his spirit and be closer to Him.
I love this gospel so much which is why I've decided to serve a mission. That is my goal. The one I am working towards. A mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
You are truly amazing! You are going to be one of the greatest missionaries ever. Not because of your knowledge of this gospel (even though you have a lot of it) but because of your love for it. I look up to you and I admire you. I am so grateful that you are my friend!
