Last Weekly

 Wow.

I don't even know where to begin. This was my last week of my mission and it feels surreal. So bittersweet. I'm so excited to see my family and for the future but I could cry right now thinking about my mission being over. I don't want it to end! I have just loved my mission SO much.

My heart is filled with gratitude. Gratitude for the people I have met and the impacts they have had on my life, gratitude for the support you all of shown me over this last year and a half, and most importantly, gratitude for the Lord. Every day I had the privilege of putting this little black tag on and sharing the most important message with the world. CHRIST LIVES! There is a plan of happiness! The Book of Mormon is God's words and has brought me the most peace and joy I have ever felt in my entire life. I know it is all true!

I want to finish off my last email with this scripture:

2 Nephi 22:2 "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation."

I trust Him. I am excited for the future and choose to have this last 18 months impact the rest of my life. Thank you all! I love you!!!

If you'd like to come to my mission homecoming talk, it will be at 2233 S Wade Dr, Gilbert, AZ 85295 at 12pm. Can't wait to give you all a hug!

Signing off with lots of love,

Sister Coon
