Week 79... Lake Butler and home again, home again, jiggedy jig...

Hey y’all !!!

Per usual I don't have a lot of time to write today.

But I will say some things considering this will be my last post!

This last week has probably been the most joyful week of my whole life and probably the saddest. All of the feels!! Going home is rough. Really, really rough. I never quite realized the song "I'll go where you want me to go" is for missionaries returning home. I am going to miss Florida so incredibly much. It has become my home and my heart! Specifically Lake Butler! I love this place!! I know adventures are ahead though and I'm excited to see y’all!! I’m sad to leave, happy to come home. Who knows how I'm actually feeling! I don't!

Well, there are some things that I do know right now. And that is I know with my whole heart that Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer. It is by him and through him we are able to return back home to our Heavenly Father. I know that he suffered and died for our sins, weaknesses, pains, sorrows, afflictions and trials so we could find joy in life and return back to him. Jesus Christ is my best friend. I love Him so much and I will give my life for him. Although, I'm taking off my missionary name tag, His heart will forever be on my heart. I came to know my Savior through repentance. I know that repentance is a change of heart and that when you do repent the Savior can heal you. He healed me from so much out here. And because of Him I now know who I am as a daughter of God. I am so thankful for his endless forgiveness and love. His love has forever changed me! I know that the Book of Mormon is true!!! It is tangible evidence of God’s love for all his children. The Book of Mormon has deepened my testimony of Jesus Christ and taught me how to use his atonement. It is my life line and I am so thankful for the prophets who sacrificed so much that we could have it. While reading of their lives they have become my closest friends. I know without a shadow of a doubt that Joseph Smith restored Jesus Christ’s church back on the earth. We have the fullness of the gospel! In all its glory!! The priesthood is real. I know that the only life worth living is one where your life is centered on Christ and keeping his commandments. Nothing else will do. Nothing else will bring you the same joy. I know now that life is beautiful. Every part of life is beautiful when seen through the Saviors eyes. I will never be able to repay my savior for what he did for me. For
letting me, lil ole Sister Chamberlain, represent him. This truly has been the greatest 18 months of my life.

Thank you all so much for supporting me through everything. Thanks for your loves, packages, letters and prayers!

ANNND I'll see y’all soon.

HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!

Love,

Sister Chamberlain
