Last email

Hola Everyone!

I can not believe this day is here. It is unreal to me to think that I am now writing my last email before I will be home. Time has truly flown by so fast. I cant even believe it.

This week I want to take the time to thank you guys for everything you have done for me these last 18 months. I am so blessed to have such an amazing support system. Thank you for all of your emails, cards, letters, packages, sacrifices, and prayers on my behalf! I love you all so much! 

I also want you guys to know that I know without a doubt in my mind that this church is true. I know that God lives and loves us all so much. I know that for his love for us he sent his son Jesus Christ here to pay the price of our sins to make it possible for each and everyone of us to return to his presence. I know that Joseph Smith was called as a prophet to restore the gospel and that the Book of Mormon truly is the word of God. I know that if we apply the principles we can learn from this book to our daily lives we will be more like our Savior and live a life full of happiness and joy.

I love this gospel so much and I love my Savior. I am so thankful for this time I have had to serve as a missionary and I am so thankful for all of the many experiences I have had. But more than anything I am thankful that I have had this time to grow closer to my Heavenly Father! 

I love you guys so much! Thank you all for all of your love and support I love you all so much and I will see you guys next week!! (: 

Love always,

Hermana Searle

Hola Familia! 

What an amazing week it was! And an even better weekend! This conference was truly amazing! I loved every talk so much and recieved so many answers and personal revelation(: This week we have found some awesome new investigators!! It is so cool seeing how the Lord prepares people to recieve the gospel and how he puts everyone in the right place at the right time. One of our new investigators is Katy. She was a contact in the street. when Sister Aris contacted her I was on splits with other sisters but I got to meet her and she is so awesome! She is a single mom with 5 kidsa nd her and her 2 oldest kids accepted baptismal dates and are SO excited to be able to learn more and grow closer to God. Another new investigator we have is Julio. We also contacted him in the street and he told us that about 3 years ago he was listening to the missionaries in another state and how he really just wants to make changes in his life to help his family and to be a better person. His wife left him with their 4 month old baby and he is really struggling but he is so willing to make changes to be able to make things better for his family. We have some really great lessons for this upcoming week and we also will have the opportunity to have one of the Elders of the 70 of the area come and speak with us on Saturday which will be an amazing week! The work is going so well here and I am loving every minute of being a missionary! I hope that you all enjoyed conference weekend and I hope that you guys were able to recieve answers you may have been looking for! I lvoe you guys so much!! have an amazing week! 

Love always,
