This is a part of my letter to the mission president. I feel that it really shows how I'm feeling.
"I can't say that this feels like the last time that I will write a letter to you like this. I don't think that the realization of me leaving the mission has really set in yet. I am really excited to see my family, particularly my brother. I anticipate spending Thanksgiving and Christmas with them. However, I have a hard time seeing myself doing anything other than missionary work in the future. I guess that because that's all I've done for the past two years that's all my mind can comprehend. I simply see myself getting up at 6:30, studying, going out onto the streets and teaching lessons. My time here in Korea has changed my perspective on myself, God and those around me. I feel that I realize more of my duty as someone in God's kingdom. When I first came to Korea I had no real skill or ability. It seems sad to me that I need to go next week because I feel like I'm on the top of my game."
However I know that God will take me where he needs to. I have learned to walk in his ways. I have learned what God wants from each of us and I have learned how important serving him with all of our heart, might, mind and strength is.
Here is me two years ago in the MTC. A lot has changed since then. I didn't know anything back then. No Korean. No life experience. I am so grateful for what has happened during my service. My life will be forever different. The Korean people will forever be in my heart.
With faith in Christ, forward!
