Well, this last week we had interviews with President Jergensen. He gave an amazing training on the WHAT, HOW and WHY of missionary work. He explained about how all that we do revolves around the churches duty to "gather scattered Israel." I came to understand the principle of those who hold Priesthood Keys. It would take too long to type out.
It was weird that that was my last interview with President Jergensen before my exit interview. This whole feeling is surreal. Other missionaries ask me what it is like, and what I mean by "bittersweet", because that is the only word I can find to express it. I love my mission, but it is unstoppable. It is ending. A member in our ward, Brother Morgan, was telling me about how in his mission the mission president would not extend ANY missionary. Because we are called for 2 years, and 2 years it is. If you realize that you want to work hard later then TOO BAD! You used your time.
We had a great district meeting too. It started off a bit shaky, I was feeling a little under the weather, but I felt better once the spirit really got going in the meeting. I was worried about my training. I didn't know how it was going to go, but I spent a good amount of time preparing, and the spirit took over and it was great. I felt prompted to do a testimony meeting, and it was great. We all took some time to meditate, and then share our testimonies. I enjoyed it.
I don't have much time, so I have to make it all worth it. That's all we can do. It's all we will do.
Elder Prows, P-Trowsers out!
