LAST P-DAYYYYYY :) & ;(

Fam!!!!
I am in total shock that my last p-day has arrived! I can't even begin to explain or describe how grateful I am for the opportunity my Heavenly Father has given me to represent my Savior Jesus Christ for these last 18 months. I am soooo extremely grateful for every trial, bad day, and struggle i've had, becuase i can now say with all of my heart that I know that my Savior loves me, He died for me, understands me, and is with me every second. I have absolutely no doubt that this is His church here on the earth, that its been restored through Jose Smith. I feel so blessed to have the knowledge of the plan of salvation and that I will be able to live with my family for Eternity. that knowledge alone has given me all the motivation in the world these last 18 months to keep working and sharing with everyone! There is nothing more comforting to know that the Lord has a plan so much bigger than what we imagine, and that if we are faitful to Him, He will give us everything He has. 
It has been incredible seeing so many lives change gracias al Evangelio, which has in turn truly changed my life. I feel so so grateful!! I love you all!
see you soon!
