Farewell, Mississippi Jackson Mission. McKennah's Farewell Testimony.

Y'all I am sooo beyond grateful for this time that I have had to serve the Lord. We are pretty sure we wont have any time to email next week and so I figured I would give one more email of my testimony before I go home and see y'all again. 

I am soo grateful for this experience that I have had to serve the Lord. It is hard to express it in words what that has been like for me. Hard to explain how it felt to be rejected at the doors of so many people, or to be loved beyond compare by the members of your ward/branch, or to sit in a lesson with your investigators and they have a big A-HA moment and they understand the message we share, or the times spent on my knees with my companion praying for the needs of those we are teaching. It is hard to explain all of those things with the right words, and an accurate definition of what it is like to be a missionary to dedicate my time to the Lord. I just want to bear y'all my testimony that I know that Jesus Christ lives. I know it. I know that he is the head of this church. I know that he loves His children, and that Heavenly Father loves us as well. I know that the lessons that we learn in this life is for our benifit and to help us progress more in the next life. They want us to be happy! That is their work, that is the ultimate reason why God continues to bless us with many blessings. I know that the trials and tribulations we face are for OUR GOOD. It truly reconciles us to God as we go through them. I know that the Book Of Mormon is the word of God. It brings peace in this life and helps us to prepare for eternal life to come. I am so grateful for these experiences and I look forward to the many experiences I will continue to have over the course of my life. 

This mission has taught me all of these things that I know to be true, and it has taught me so much more. I invite all of those who are thinking about serving a mission to go. It will change your life. It is hard at times, many times. But it is also brings so much Joy and the joy you will feel is what makes up for all of those harder times you face on a mission. I love y'all! I can't wait to see you soon! 

Love, 

Sister Scott
