The end.....and beginning of a new chapter. Bye Texas :(

my FAVORITE ICE CREAM spiced pumpkin pecan soooo good

Hey yall!!!

ahh this is kinda sad....
well. the weather has been in the 60's and even 70's all this week so its been super nice. The thought of going home to cold weather is a little scary. I have been grateful for this weather!

This week was a lot of fun! so much fun. We didn't get to teach as much as i wish we would but what we did do was sing carols about every other night. It always brings the Christmas spirit when we do that and its such a fun thing to do this holiday season.
We actually knocked on a door where there was a Bible study going on and they absolutely LOVED it, it was so funny. We are having a lot of success with caroling to members friend. Its been great.
One guy at another door said " I didn't even know that people still did this!" It was really funny.

I also had my exit interview this past week with president Ames and that was just amazing! He is a great man and really taught me a lot and gave me some great advice that i will forever hold dear. I am so grateful for the wonderful president i had.

Its hard to believe its over. But i am excited for the future. I have been so blessed to be able to come out here on a mission and serve the lord. It was not a perfect two years by any means i have my own struggles and hard times. Some days i could have worked harder then others, some days were awesome and i saw people's lives change and grow in faith in Jesus Christ, including my own.  I know though that all the experiences i have had on the mission have been for my benefit. I have learned SO MUCH about this gospel, that i can honestly say that i know this church is true and is meant to help all of us return to live with our heavenly father again. I know that will all my hear. This church is for everyone.

Thanks for all the support and love yall have giving me. I cannot wait to see yall again!!
love
elder boettcher
