Hey everybody,
what’s good?
I hope you are
all doing well and that up to this moment you’re enjoying the New Year!! I
truly love the New Year for a ton of reasons but for some more than others.
First, I love the New Year because I love when I’m writing the date and I write
2015.... Haha it just helps me realize how special I really am! Sometimes it
takes me up until March to write the date and the year the right way and other
times it only takes me a week or two but still it helps me see how sharp the
mind is going into the year :)
Another reason
is because I know it’s another year I am going to have to expand my horizons
and grow. A lot of people would say that it’s a new start but I don’t like to
think that way because if you don’t know where you came from then how will you
know where you want to go? Honestly I am excited to be here in the mission and
to pass this New Year because I’ve grown a lot and I now have a much better
idea about where I came from and a much clearer view of where I want to go!
This is the last holiday season I’ll pass here in the mission and that’s a sad
but also liberating thought because I know that this time I’ve spent here has
truly changed me- on a whole other level than what I ever thought possible! It’s
also clear that I am still myself and I think I’ll always be the person I am
but I have grown and my point of view is much more mature. I’m thankful for the
opportunities that God gives me daily to become a person bigger than I ever
hoped I’d be able to become.
Going into this
year I have set many goals and all of them are aimed to help ensure that my
future is a success! I hope to be able to end the mission the way I know I
should and not just endure to the end but live each day with energy. I always
want to live with the intention of helping others make bigger goals for
themselves and achieving something in their lives that they maybe never have
thought possible for them to accomplish. Really, I just want to live up to my
own expectations and do all of the things I hope to because I know it’s in my
hands and it’s my future and whatever God permits me to do, I would love to
accomplish.
The mission has
been a huge blessing for me and I will always keep searching for ways to learn
and grow during the time I’m here!! I
love God and I love the idea of my personal progress taking me to a higher
place so that I can have a better relationship with God. I hope each and every
one of you has placed goals in your New Year and that you truly intend on
completing them! I love you all and I miss you!
Love,
Elder Jonah
