Coming Home

Mother and Family,
Well mother this will be really short because I really have nothing to say. I am very nervous and very confused on what is going on. I have not really realized yet that I am going home and do not really know how to feel about it. On one hand I am very excited but on the other I am very nervous. I am however a little sad as well. I was blessed with the chance to be able to talk on Sunday. It was really great. I also was allowed to pick the last song in sacrament and then lead the song. Also a great experience. All and all life is great. We were blessed with three more baptisms this last Sunday. A great way to finish my mission. With those three baptisms I was able to complete a goal that I made with the Lord that I almost thought was impossible. With God all things are possible. That is one thing that I really believe in now.
Yes I messed up on what I wrote. I really did not mean to put 11:20 but 4:20 that is my bad. ha. Today I will have the chance to have my last interview with the President. It should be great and I am very excited to be able to talk with him again. Also tomorrow I will be going to Rio Grande da Serra again to visit a few families before I go home. I am very excited for these next few days. The ward here is really great and I was really blessed this last week and Sunday. All and all it was great.
Well I am going to get going. I will be able to tell you all about the mission here in a few days. I will just say sorry ahead of time if I happen to stay in my room a little more than normal. I will try my hardest to be normal when I get home but it will be hard. Jordan Maybon returned already? I cannot believe that he got home before me. You should have him and his family go with you to the airport. I would love to have his family with me when I get released etc....
The mission really is great. I love the mission so much. It was the best choice that I could have made. This is the true Church!!!!!! I know that it is. God really does love us and will always take care of us if we let him. Also the book of Mormon is true and I hope to keep the habit of reading the Book of Mormon and the New Testament daily. It is such strength and a help guide. Also I know that the temple is the house of the Lord. I am really excited to be able to go to the temple when I get home. It will be great. All and all I love you all so much and I am so grateful for you all and for my mission and for this amazing and true church in my life. This is the church of Christ. I will talk to you all soon. Love you all.
Elder Daniel J. Parkinson
P.s. I will ask early to be able to get your help. I will need all of your help to help me with the changes that I will face and the choices that I will need to make. Thank you so much for everything.
