The best two years of my life!

Elder Luke Nelson

Cambodia Mission 3/2011-3/2013

I love my mission so much. Every day is an adventure that I wouldn't trade for the world.

I’m safe healthy, skinny, sunburned and happy

Much Love

Elder Nelson

I love you all. I know the church is true.

The power of the Atonement is real. It is open to all of us.

I love teaching Jesus Christ's doctrine. 

Elder Nelson 

Everyone on earth is so lucky, whether they know it or not

they have a loving Heavenly Father that blesses them so much everyday.

I love you

Elder Nelson

I love being a servant of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ with all of my heart.

I don't see it as a sacrifice in the slightest.

I love you all.

Elder Nelson

THE BEST TWO YEARS

BY Susan Hiatt Biggs

Taking a bath in cold water with a spoon

And trudging up five flights of stairs,

Trying to digest my companion’s home cooking,

And thinking nobody cares.

Are these the best two years of my life?

Surely, it’s got to get better.

If these are the best two years of my life,

Then, at least, can’t I get just one letter?

Keeping appointments where no one shows up

And sitting around on the floor,

Mosquitoes eating my face and my feet

And being too tall for the door.

  

Are you sure these are the best two years of my life?

I miss all my family and friends;

If these are the best two years of my life,

Why can’t I wait ‘til it ends?

Eating my fill of strange foreign food

And taking my shots for malaria,

Having another door slammed in my face

While I’m trying to calm Mom’s hysteria.

Are these really the best two years of my life?

Are you sure I’m going to live through it?

If these are the best two years of my life,

I’d better get busy and get to it.

Then watching a person’s life change for the better

And teaching of God’s great love and care;

Then hearing his halting, humble attempt

To offer his first simple prayer Oh, these are the best two years of my life!

They couldn’t possibly get any better!

I’m happy, I’m fine, I’m doing just great
