"I
have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept
the
faith." -2 Timothy 4:7
I cannot even believe that I have made it to the end of my mission. It all still seems very surreal to me. It has been the best 18 months for my life. I have learned so much out here and I am so grateful for all the many experiences I have had as a full-time missionary. I really love the people over here in New Jersey and New York! I just want yous to know that I now know more than I ever have before, that Jesus is the Christ. I know that He really does love us and that He watches over us constantly. I know that the Savior has a perfect love for everyone everywhere. I have loved being able to feel a teeny tiny glimpse of how the Savior must feel for all of God's children. I love this Gospel with all my heart. I cannot wait to see all of your faces at the airport on Wednesday. Thanks for being THE BEST family a girl could ever ask for!!!
See yous in 2 days!!
Love
yous to the Moon & back!!! WE DID IT!
Love,
Sister Woodland

Hey Fam!
So this last week and a half has been absolutely NUTS. It has been the most emotional couple of days I have had in my entire mission... It has been such a spiritual experience to have the opportunity to go to the Temple with President Taggart, Sister Taggart, and the other departing missionaries. I love the Temple soooo much! It was the perfect timing to go because it helped me to receive revelation and peace about all the changes going on in my crazy life. It was exactly what I needed. Then I had my departing interview with President Taggart after the Temple and that was SO GREAT. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to serve with President Taggart the last year of my mission. He is such an incredible man and I know that he is supposed to be here in the New Jersey Morristown Mission. He has helped me so much throughout this year!
I feel like I am on this HUGE emotional roller coaster and it won't let up... haha These departing trips have been super fun, but I am SO exhausted! I feel like I am just never going to get energy ever again... But I am going to work so stinking hard this last week!! Even though I am pretty sure I could fall asleep anywhere... Hahaha We had a tender mercy happen a couple of days ago... We received a call from a former investigator named Tedi who was on baptism date before I got to this area, but she sort of fell off the earth. She called and told us that she wanted to meet with us again. We were able to teach her this morning and it was such a powerful lesson. She has still been reading from the Book of Mormon and she has been able to find so much peace as she has read from it. She wants to start meeting with us regularly. She is so awesome!! We are excited for her to come to know of the truthfulness of this restored gospel. :) It was super fun to go to the Statute of Liberty! I will have to send yous the pictures next week!! I can't believe how fast this time has gone and how fast this last week will go! Thanks for all yous do!!!
