"Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

Well, this is the last email you will all receive from Sister Heywood.

I love my mission.

I am so grateful for the opportunity I have been given to serve my Father for 1 1/2 years.

I have loved being about my Father's business and I will be for the rest of my life.

These last 18 months haven't made me Sister Heywood.

God has shaped and molded me into the Emma that I need to be.

I have been blessed to help others come unto Christ.

Everyone I've met has also done the same for me.

I know my Savior now.

I know my Heavenly Father.

I'm sad to leave and I dread the moment I have to take off my name tag, but I need to go on with life.

God has a great plan for me.

I know it :)

This week was good.

I was sick, so that was a bummer, but despite that, we still got to work.

We got to meet Ida (that's not her name, but that's what I'll call her).

She is so sweet!
She was a member referral.

The members didn't think she would be interested, but they said we could try her.

She let us in.

We taught about the Restoration and she is going to read the pamphlet.

We will be going back at the first of the year :)

It was a great miracle.

It wasn't in our plans, but it was in the Lord's.

I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I know that He is the Redeemer of the World.

I know He lived, died and lives again.

I know that we can go to Him and He will help us.

He died for us

  "He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation."

                      -2 Nephi 26:24

Through Him, we can be cleansed from sin.

We can be made perfect.

  "Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God."

                     -Moroni 10:32

All we need to do is turn to Him.

    

 "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."
                    -Doctrine & Covenants 6:36

There is no need to fear, because you have the Godhead on your side.

   

  "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

                  -2 Timothy 1:7

I love you all!
See you Wednesday :)

Love,

Sister Heywood
