coming home

Here I go, mustering together all the ganas that I can to write one more letter! 

In the coming days I will see you all, and I will hug you and talk with you, and answer questions, and tell stories

And so, of all the things I want to leave with you all, I hope that some photos and my testimony will do for the last letter! 

I know that God lives. I know that he loves me. I know that he has a plan for me. I offer him my WHOLE soul. and I know that he can make more of me than I could ever make of myself. I also know that Jesus Christ lives. He lives! He lives who once was dead! The depth and power of that statement is eternal in its impact and significance. Because he lives, it means that the pathway has been opened. The chains have been loosened. We will all live again. Tell it out with Joyful voice! Eternal life is ours "on the conditions of repentance" Sure, we all aren't perfect. Far from an excuse, this is an oportunity. Because of Christ, and despite our imperfections, we can become CLEAN. God's kingdom will not be full of "perfect" people, it will be full of CLEAN people. Those who have "washed their garments in His blood"

The Book of Mormon is the word of God. I have felt it's power. In it's pages we find the Plan of Salvation, amoung other precious truths that had been lost. I am grateful for God's Perfect Plan! and I know that we are all part of it. 

Life is good in the Gospel. Not because there aren't any problems, but because we have the tools we need to feel joy in the storm, and to dance in the rain.

I am grateful for my mission. It is everything I needed and it has made me everything that I am.

I love you all. I can't wait to embrace you and to feel your love!

les Quiero con todo mi Corazon! 

nos vemos muy pronto! 

Que tengan la mejor semana del mundo!

SalĂș, Pues!

Elder Mcfarland
