Fear NOT

"I’m sure that you must feel like you're on a bullet train heading towards a brick wall yourself." 

Yes sir, 100%. 

Going home from my mission is seeming to be a lot harder than actually leaving in the first place... There is a lot waiting over on that side of the world, and I am not quite sure I am ready to accept it all... In a bit of a simpler way to put it: I'm scared as heck. I guess I've been able to handle everything thus far, and *knock on wood* I don't think going home could be any worse than being shot at, or going to prison, so... I've got a thing or two going for me, haha. But it's still daunting. 

This is from 2 Kings:6,

15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compasses the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! How shall we do? 
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17  And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

If there is one thing that I have come to KNOW through my mission, it is that "they that be with us are more than they that be with them.". At times I have not seen-or perhaps overlooked, the help that I was in need of, but it has always been there, and it has carried me from the beginning of my mission to this point here. i know as i have said countless times before that:

1) God loves us.

2) The church is so stinkin' true.

3) And, that so long as we stand with God, NOTHING can stand against us.

I love you guys a whole lot, and I hope you know that I saw some miracles this week, through the priesthood. It will be a glorious day when I can tell you all about it.
