Last email

So, as my mission rapidly comes to a close and in this my last and ultimate testament, er, email, I just wnt to to more than anythigns share my testimony. 

I Know that Jesus Christ lives. He is my Savior and my Redeemer and I love Him with all my heart. He has blessed me immensely in so many ways I cannot count both in my life nad in these past eighteen months I have had to serve Him. I have treid to give back a little of what He has given to me, but I have come to uinderstand that I can never ever repay Him becasue He has lliterally made everthing, everythigns possible for me. He gave His life for me, He suffered on Calvary and in Gethsmane and every momnet in between adn He did it just for me. He would have dne it if it was just me who needed saving, but I i'm not the only one lost in this weorld. We ALL need Him and we are ALL debtors. Every pain, every sunburn and blister and rejection I have faced in these last preciosu months is nothign compared to what He sufferes, but, as John and Peter of old, I have borne them and gone on my way rejoiceign knwign that I am worthy to understand just a little bit of the suffereign that He faced. He is my all. Nad thourhg HIm, death has no sting and Hell has no song, and Satan is defeated before he even was able to start. I love this gospel. I love the atonign power of Jesus Christ and I have loved and love beign able to help my brothers and sister in their repentance process and watch the miracle of the Atonement make them whole time and time and time again. It has wrought miracles in my own life in the process. I am not the same person I was, and I cannot go back to being who I was before. There is only one option - keep movign forward every day. 

I know I am far from perfect and I know I will never  reach the perfection in this life, but I wait on my Lord and look forward with faith to that great day when He comes again and I can stand in His presence and He will say to me, ¨well done thou good and faithful servant¨ and He will welcome me home. 

I love you all and I will see you soon

Con mi amor eterno, 
Hermana Rawlings

Burning Spiritually and Physically!

Didn't you just LOVE conference? I feel like I have gotten much more out of General Coonference here in my time as a missionary. It's literally such a highlight and a spiritual fest. I think my favorite talks were from Jeffrey R. Holland, Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Russel M. Nelson, and actually, I can't choose, just all of them. I love what Elder Uchtdorf shared about how to share the gospel, step by step. I also love what was taught about the cvonnection between love and ministering, and I absolutely loved the emphasis on repentace and the Atoning power of Jesus Christ.  Thanks to the goodness of the Bishop, we actually had the opportunity to watch in English usign the computer in the Bishop's office and it was so great to hear the voices of the Apostles and The prophet. It's honestly just so much better when you can actually hear their voice with the intonation and all of that. An boy, was that fun. We might have taken over the office for a short while...
