Farewell

Well I figure I'll start things off here by bidding you all farewell (sad face). I'm excited and grateful that I have this opportunity to devote the next bit to serving my Father in Heaven. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing right now than serving a mission and I can't
even begin to describe all the emotions I have right now. I'm definitely gonna miss everyone, but I know I have a greater cause at hand.

I do know with all my heart that this church,

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is true.

I'm grateful every day that I was brought up with the Gospel in my life
and for the joy and peace it brings to me. I know that God lives, he is our
Father in Heaven and he loves us more than we'll ever know.

Jesus Christ is his
son and our Savior. I know that the church was restored through the Prophet
Joseph Smith and that we have a modern day prophet, President Monson, who leads
and guides us today. I'm grateful for his example, inspiration, and words of
encouragement. I know the Book of Mormon is the true Word of God and I feel it's
truth everytime I read. I feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends and
family in my life and I couldn't be more grateful for the love and support I've
received. I love you all like you wouldn't believe and look forward to seeing
your beautiful faces in 2013!! ~Sister Rupp
