Everlasting Beginnings

We LOVE San Diego!

Hey Everyone!

Well, talk about deja vu.......wasn't I just sitting at this computer emailing you all yesterday?! Man, these last 4 weeks are just going to FLY by.

Poway Rodeo!

This past week was one of those weeks where Sis Saedan and I will just write in our planners, "Service for DAYZZZ". Oh my goodness, it felt SO good to get down in the dirt and work hard out in the beautiful San Diego sun! We were able to help set up the Poway Rodeo with a few of the Elders and that was SO fun! Definitely brought back a lot of memories & made me miss the San Luis Valley as well as the Imperial Valley :) It was pretty funny though, our second day there they asked us to hang up all the advertisements on the bleachers and of course most of the advertisements were for Bud Light...............hahaha Nothin' better than asking a group of Mormon missionaries to advertise beer! ;)

Crazy hat day @ the Rodeo :)

We also helped one of our returning less-actives to start putting up her Halloween decorations....never thought I would see someone use a bow and arrow to hang out their decorations!

But to be honest, I think everything finally hit me this week. In my mind I kept avoiding the thought of going home and after some much needed humbling, the Lord was able to teach me some very important things that will help me to truly finish my mission strong instead of just "dreading" to the end. We had dinner with some members and the husband said some things to me that really helped change my perspective. He said, "You know what Sis Morgan, it's okay to be a little trunky and excited to go home! Your mission has been wonderful, but trust me, there are things that will happen in your future that will be 10 times more amazing than your mission. This time is just the foundation for the rest of your life! Enjoy it while you're here, but APPLY it once you take that name tag off. You have a bright future ahead of you!"

Heavenly Father truly does know how to use His children to reach down deep inside my heart! This week I really learned some amazing life lessons. As that kind Brother was talking to me the beautiful and soft words of President Uchtdorf came swarming into my mind,

"In light of what we know about our eternal destiny, is it any wonder that whenever we face the bitter endings of life, they seem unacceptable to us? There seems to be something inside of us that resists endings.

Why is this? Because we are made of the stuff of eternity. We are eternal beings, children of the Almighty God, whose name is Endless¹³ and who promises eternal blessings without number. Endings are not our destiny.

The more we learn about the gospel of Jesus Christ, the more we realize that endings here in mortality are not endings at all. They are merely interruptions—temporary pauses that one day will seem small compared to the eternal joy awaiting the faithful.

How grateful I am to my Heavenly Father that in His plan there are no true endings, only everlasting beginnings."

I am a Daughter of the Most High King! YOU are also a Son/Daughter of the Most High King! Because we are His Children we know that we have the potential to become like our Father and to live eternally with Him & with Jesus Christ, AND our families. I am so grateful for this Gospel and the knowledge and perspective that it brings into my life. I know that once I take off this name tag, it is only the everlasting beginning of my new life. My Mission has forever changed me. But it has changed me in a way that will allow me to grow and build upon it and become even more the daughter that my Heavenly Father knows I can become.

I love you all!!
