Well everyone. I don't really know what to think. I'm really torn. I want to be out here the rest of my life teaching the gospel. It's brings so much joy to be in the service of our Lord. But I know I need to go home and experience the rest of life. I've spent the first 18 years of my life as Alec Lange and the last 2 as Elder Lange but I feel more like Elder Lange than Alec. I feel like my life has been changed forever. I'll never be the person I was before. My heart is so full of gratitude to be able to do this marvelous work. I'm grateful for the opportunity to come down here to Arizona and meet all the wonderful people I did. I've seen so many great miracles and so many more tender mercies. It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm leaving but I'm trying to talk myself into it. I'm trying to tell myself that it's actually happening because right now it doesn't feel any different. It feels like I'm just gonna keep waking up to being a missionary. They really do work you up until the last minute. Going back home is going to be much harder than leaving. This is probably going to be one of the hardest things I've done in my life. It's something I've worked so hard at for two years and now it's all over. It's come to an end.
Alma 34:38 "That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ; that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you."
The Lord has blessed me highly and I'll try my best to live in thanksgiving daily.
