Sister Jorgensen : Ja finda! (its over)

The final week ... 77! March 12, 2018

Good-bye for now Cabo Verde!

Well.....words can't even describe how I am feeling right now. Typing this seems so unreal. I've dreamt about this day for the past 18 months of my life, and now that it's here I just keep trying to hit backspace. How is it that everything good in this life must come to an end? And how is it that everything good in this life comes to an end SO fast? Triste go.

These past 18 months have been incredible. Incredibly...

and SO MUCH MORE ... and I wouldnt change any of it.

All I can say is that I love these 10 tiny little islands (and everyone on them) with all that I am. With ALL of my heart and then some. I love Cabo Verde almost as much as I love Camdog and Maizy so yes, that's an incredible amount of love. I can't even explain it. I've never felt so much love for so many people I never even knew existed before now. Missions are easily the most incredible thing any human being can do (as long as that human is obedient and faithful, of course.) I STRONGLY invite all of you jovems (youth) to look at your life right now. What you are doing? How you are acting? What decisions you are making? And then decide what would change and/or improve in all 3 of those categories if you chose to serve a mission. Think about it real hard and get back with me next week. I already know what the answer will be ;)

I love my Savior. I love my family. And I know that the plan of salvation is so so true. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true and living church on the earth today. I know that Russell M. Nelson is our living prophet hoje em dia. I know that he currently holds and uses the power of God, along with his 12 apostles and any worthy man and young man who is a member of Christ's church. I love the past 18 months of my life and EVERYTHING that I experienced. There may or may not have been 1 quote from Nacho Libre that defined my mission (I believe all of you who served here know what I'm talking about) but nonetheless, I still absolutely love everything that I have come to learn and see and hear on these tiny rocks. N'sabe ki deus konch kada un di nos pelo nome e ki kre ki kada un di nos da faz as kuzas dretu. n'sta txeu grata por nha missao e n'sabe ki nunca n'ta esquesi das kuzas ki aconteceba ali. n'ta ama kada un di nhos TXEU. brigada por tudo djobi. nhos fica dretu xoxo
