EVERY MISSION HAS AN END, BUT IN LIFE EVERY ENDING IS JUST A NEW BEGINNING

For my last email, I want to leave with you lyrics of a song that explains exactly how this mission has been...
I love this Work. I
love my Savior. I love the Book of Mormon. I love the Church.
The hardest thing I ever
loved to do
was letting go of
everything I ever knew
eighteen years of dreams
left in my room
as I buttoned up the
jacket of my suit
And the hardest word I've
ever loved to say
was goodbye to my mom and
walk away
choking on my tie and on
my tears
as I walked down the hall
into those years
And the sweetest song I've
ever loved to sing
filled the MTC on angel's
wings
the chorus filled my soul
5000 strong
and I wished it would just
go on and on
The firmest hand I've ever
loved to shake
was my trainer's with that
big grin on his face
he grabbed my bag and put
his arm ‘round me
and whispered
"I'm gonna work those
Mr. Macs right off your feet"
And the hardest words I've
ever anguished for
came just before some lady
slammed her door
my trainer left me hanging
out to dry
as a minute of painful
silence rolled right by
But the hardest tears I
ever loved to cry
fell as I opened up my
mouth and testified
between the tiny walls of
a stranger's living room
the Spirit told their
hearts my words were true
The most
wonderful sound I've ever heard
is the sound of water
running in the church
as someone I'd come to
love got dressed in white
my eyes saw their first
glimpse of Heaven's light
The hardest thing I've
ever come to see
is a man down on his knees
in agony
a drop of blood falls down
on olive leaves
and for a moment he
suffers there for me
The hardest thing I've
ever loved to do
was getting on this plane
and coming home to you
in a million ways
completely torn apart
as a land so far away
still owns my heart
in the most sincere prayer
I've ever prayed
I thank my God for each
and every day
For the blessing of the
man I've come to be
As I walk up and kiss my
mama's cheek.
See you on
Wednesday. I love you.
Elder Sorenson
