Dear family,
Things are awesome and I am just cherishing every single day that I keep
getting to be a missionary. Thank you all again for letting me do this
extension because I have learned even so much more just in these weeks
being here. I am very excited to see you and I really feel like the
Lord wanted me to be here cause as I get closer to finishing I really
feel ready to go home. Not in a bad way but I feel like my service is
really coming to an end in my heart. I will keep being a missionary
when I get home but there is just this feeling from the Spirit that my
time is at hand you could say.
I am with a companionship right now that is a little
tougher but they are really good at heart they just need some
direction. It is so sad to see when missionaries have so much talent
and just lack desire. What I have been doing is just showing all the
missionaries how good their missions can be for 1, 2 or 3 days and
telling them that their 2 years can be just like that. I love my
service to the Saviour and I have changed so much and learned so much
from these 2 plus years.
I got to go out with Jordan Koford for a day and it
was so much fun! He came and we went to the temple on Tuesday and then
on Wednesday we went out and saw some people and talked to everyone. We
saw one of my converts from echo and had an amazing lesson with her and
she is coming back to church now and we were able to set a date with
another family from echo who has a nine year old who isn't baptized.
They want me to baptize her and so the Saturday before I leave I am
going to baptize her and a missionary that I trained is going to confirm
her the next day. It was amazing and I am so thankful to have been
with my first companion again for a day. I think he sent you some
pictures or called mom or something. Anyway it was amazing!
I love you all so much. Keep being a missionary every single day!
-Love Elder Neeley
