Holis everyone! This is officially my last weekly letter of my mission! So I have been trying to think about what I wanted to say in my final letter.
First off I feel so grateful that I listened to that little prompting I got when I was 14 to serve a mission. I have learned so, so, so many things. I have met such amazing people, learned to speak a different language, make new friends from all over the world, overcome hardships and trials, and gained a better understanding and a stronger testimony of our savior Jesus Christ.
I think the biggest thing I can testify to is just how much He and our Heavenly Father loves us. Everything about life is because they love us so so much. I know that the missionary work is in other words, a work of love. Everyone, not just the missionaries, as the opportunity to share this love with everyone they know.
As I was listening to some missionaries teach the restoration of the gospel during a capillas abierta, I had a little sadness hit my heart that my time to teach as missionary is now coming to an end. I felt a little regret too, because my time in capillas abiertas has limited a lot of my time teaching. I felt as if that maybe I could've had touched so many others lives if I could have just not been in capillas abiertas. That night I read a letter my sweet cute grandma Penrod sent me a few months ago. In that letter she said that "any effort given to bring people unto christ is enough for our Heavenly Father." I felt the spirit comfort me in that moment, and I know she is right and in my efforts in capillas abiertas I was helping others come unto Christ. And I know that even if we aren't full time missionaries, our efforts to bring others unto Christ will be always be enough to God too.
I have truly loved serving in my three areas: Miramar, Puerto, and Independencia B, and I have especially loved serving in the church open houses. I have loved loving the people here and my companions, and all of them. I love President and Sister Cifuentes. I love Argentina, this work, and my loving Savior. I love you all as well, and as much as I hate leaving, I will be happy to be apart of your lives again.
I know that the true church of christ has been restored upon the earth by the profet Joseph Smith, and I know that we have a living profet today and his name is Thomas S. Monson. I know that this gospel is true, and that we are here on this earth because God loves us, and he wants us to learn how to love like he does and so he gave us life. I know that if we live our lives according to his gospel, if we rely on the atonement of Jesus Christ, we will make it back home and we will help others make it back home too.
Estos 18 meses, han sido lo mejor. Estoy agradecida de haber podido ser misionera y compartir este mensaje con todos. Amo la misión!
Con amor,
Hermana Davidson
