Sarah's LAST Email---January 17th 2012

Only 8 more days!!!!!

Dear Family,

Okay, this is it....THE LAST E-MAIL!!! dun dun duuuuuunnn!!!

I can'twait to see you all again! I keep thinking about what I am going to
wear when you see me for the first time, and I realized how raggy all
of my clothes are! It's a good thing I didn't give all my clothes to
my sisters or anything......wait.

I have not as yet started packing, but the idea is tickling my mind. I
am not trunky, but it has been really hard with one trunky companion
and one who has a hourly countdown to when she can get rid of us. (not
bitter). In the middle of personal study she will look up at me and
say "You only have 264 hours left...how do you feel?" and "In two
weeks you'll have no purpose to your life...wow...sucks to be you."
etc.

I'm just kidding. we love each other...
.
I am super excited to see you all though! I wish you could come out
here and visit New England. Although, I don't know if you would want
it right now. Come in Spring or Fall. That is when it is at it's best.
I know you would all love it!

The work has been going great!!! Dorothy Anderson got baptized last
Saturday! It was awesome. The water was almost too low so she had to
be dunked twice. But she was a good sport about it. And Alice Lee is
getting baptized this Saturday!

Heavenly Father blesses me so much! I couldn't ask for a better way to end my mission.
I love the people out here, and we see a lot of miracles. This mission is and has been the
best thing for me! I have felt my love for my Savior grow and deepen
so much and I have gained a testimony of this church and the
principals in it. Thank you all so much for supporting me in this. I
will forever be grateful.

This is the last e-mail I will be sending out. Next p-day is
completely booked, sadly, and there is a lot to do. Sister Allen will
be training and she wants to make sure everything is put in order. But
know that I love you all, and I will see you in 10 days.

I love you!
Finishing strong--
Sister Dixon
