well, i don't really want to take a lot of time here because of the emotional state i am in! (i'm a cry baby) i love this work. i love our Heavenly Father and His children. i cannot believe it is over (not quite yet!!). the Lord has blessed me time and time again... and i am so grateful that i could serve Him in this marvelous work. these past couple of weeks i have felt the love of our Savior so strong in my life... they are personal experiences and very close to me, but all i can say is that i know without a doubt that this work is true! i was not perfect, but i have gained an even stronger testimony of the atonement in my life and the lives of others. the gospel is true and it is what every one of us needs in our daily lives to feel the warmth and love of our Heavenly Father in this life and to have an assurance of what is to come in the next. Joseph Smith was a true prophet and restored the Church of Jesus Christ in this dispensation. i am truly grateful for my mission presidents and for how much they have helped me. i know that that are men truly called of God... and what wonderful men they are. i am going to miss this place... my home for the past two years. these are my friends and they will always be in my heart. i just said goodbye to Lota and i could barely contain the tears of happiness and sadness as i said bye... happiness to know that they are in good hands and are progressing in the gospel, but sadness to think that it is the last time i will see them in this life. but that's not true. i WILL return! no matter what sacrifice i have to make. i do miss my family though and i feel such joy to know that they were blessed for me being here serving the Lord. i hope that same spirit can continue in the family to keep us together. i love you and miss you. and i cannot wait to see you!
con mucho cariño,
elder jackson
