The End of the Beginning

 Hola a todos! [Hello to everyone!]


This is my last email as a full-time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Esta semana [This week]: 
☆ Last exchange w/E.Morrell! Visiting Boston again was so fun 😁 
☆ For service we passed out food again! 🥒 
☆ I have been giving away a lot of balloons 🎈 
☆ Accidentally locked ourselves our of the family history center... 🔐 
☆ I got to conduct one more baptismal interview! 🌊 
☆ I gave a short thought in Sacrament meeting 🧠 
☆ Went to Topgolf and ate at the Shake shack after ⛳️ 

We found 13/14 new people to teach this week. We had 4/3 recent converts at church! One of them hadn't come since I got here. Ingris is progressing super well, we moved her baptismal date to the 29th. This doesn't feel like my last email. 

These two years have been full of growth and struggle. I have learned so much. I have come to better understand the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know my Savior. I know God's plan for us is a perfect plan. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith restored the Church of Jesus Christ. I believe Him when He says "if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high." Endure it well. 

Love y'all
Elder Stockett
