The Last Days

My time here in Jerusalem is drawing to a close and I'm starting to feel how sad it will be to go home and leave this amazing place. I'm ready for the program to be done, but in a lot of ways I'm not ready to leave this city.

I'm so grateful for the opportunity to have had this experience and I realize that it would have never been possible without the help of so many of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for giving me this wonderful gift that I will always treasure.

Being here has been incredible, and I've learned so much about the Middle East, the history of the world, and most importantly my Savior. My testimony has really been enhanced through my experience; although, as I've mentioned before, I realize even more that seeing isn't necessary for believing.

I have a testimony of Jesus Christ, as my Savior and my Lord. I'm grateful for his mercy and love for me, and for his sacrifice in the garden and on the cross. I believe in the restored gospel and that this church that we are a part of has prophets, acting under the direction of Jesus Christ himself. He was real and is real and he lives. I'm so grateful for that precious knowledge!

I love you all and can't wait to see you soon!
