March 17, 2022: The Last Click

 Other returned missionaries have told me that the last click of your name tag is the loudest click ever. I can testify this is true. If I could choose, I would be a full time missionary for my Savior for the rest of my life. But I will follow God's plan for me:)

Teaching my friends in Alaska the doctrine of Jesus Christ has changed my life forever. I know that Jesus is the Christ, that Joseph Smith was His revelatory and prophet on the Earth. I know The Book of Mormon is true because it has brought me closer to Jesus Christ. I can also testify that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's kingdom once again restored to the Earth. 

I have learned that I love airports. It's the perfect place to talk and listen to everyone about their faith. I was able to talk to 20 people in the Anchorage airport before I flew out. I was able to pass out 4 Book of Mormons too! I have a love for meeting new people and trying to figure out how Heavenly Father would like me to introduce the gospel to them. 

I may not have baptized millions on my mission, but I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to help people feel God's love, help them come closer to Christ by helping share His message of JOY and peace. I have felt my Savior's love and strength throughout every single day of my mission. I am changed and I am ecstatic to share the gospel with everyone I meet after the tag comes off. 

I am full of gratitude for every one of you!! Thank you for reading my emails every week. I have felt your love and prayers help me and my friends in Alaska. 

If you ever feel like you are missing something in your life, I invite you to come visit the church I have represented for the last 18 months. Come and belong in Jesus Christ's church. 

As always,

Choose JOY,

Sister Rex
