Michael Christian Burris honorably completed his mission on May 27, 2017. We are SO PROUD OF HIM.
Well everyone, the mission has been a wonderful experience. I have served honorably. I have found, taught, and baptized. I have given an honest effort these past two years to serve others and help them. I have no regrets about what I have done with this time. I am coming home. My mission is over. But life is full of chapters, so I am just starting a new chapter of my life. I have had so many special experiences these past two years.
I remember that when I first started my mission during my training, I was with my trainer riding around on a bus to go to an appointment and I remember telling my trainer that I wouldn't give up a day in my mission for anything. I have kept that attitude and that drive throughout my entire mission. Now its time to come home but I am not going to forget the things that I have learned here. I wont forget the people that I have helped and served. I know that the Book of Mormon is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. He really did see God the Father and Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ is mu Savior, He is the Savior of the world. He suffered and died for my sins. He knows me and helps me. I know that with faith I can do all things. 1 Nephi 17 50-51 50 And I said unto them: If God had commanded me to do all things I could do them. If he should command me that I should say unto this water, be thou earth, it should be earth; and if I should say it, it would be done. 51 And now, if the Lord has such great power, and has wrought so many miracles among the children of men, how is it that he cannot instruct me, that I should build a ship? my version of verse 51: And now, if the Lord has such great power, and has wrought so many miracles among the children of men, how is it that he cannot instruct me, that I should serve an honorable mission? I know that this is the true gospel of Jesus Christ that we live and that it was restored through the modern day prophet Joseph Smith. Jesus Christ lives, the book of Mormon is true, God loves us and has a plan for us, when we live that plan and keep the commandments and make and keep all the ordinances that go along with it we qualify for eventual exaltation and eternal happiness in the presence of God and His Son Jesus Christ. That's my testimony, CYA SOON... |
