Dang. Well, this is it.

Serving a mission is the best decision I've ever made. Knowing that these two years were set aside for me and my savior to grow closer by me serving my spiritual brothers and sisters. On that path, I've realized that he also invested these 2 years in me. I've learned and gone through things that have molded me for the rest of my life and the eternities.
I've grown an unwavering testimony of the Gospel. Realized the reality of how real God is and how he speaks to us. I've got to feel the love he has for every single person and how much he wants to help us in every second of our lives. I've learned what agency is, and that we are truly free to choose. I've felt the doctrine written on pages in books of scripture speak to me and answer my prayers. I've learned what the atonement actually means, and the price that our savior and brother Jesus Christ paid, to free us from the chains of sin, sorrow, and pain.
I want to thank you all for the prayers and the support you have provided me and my family. It's meant the world.
Stoked to catch up with everyone back home.
Signing out one last time on his mission trip here in Germany.
Stay woke fam. See ya on the other side.
Bis dann
