Rumors about my stupid knee

Well it seems like the Rumors about me have been spreading lately haha. There has been quite a few people ask me about it, but I would like to set a few things straight.

Just over a year ago I had a bike accident. The result seemed at the time that it would fix itself. But randomly the past month, my leg has been getting sharp pains around the spot where I got injured the most during the bike accident. I recently, this past week, had an MRI scan for my leg. If it turns out that I will need excessive surgery than I would have to come home from my mission and be released as a missionary, because the recovery process could take between 6-8 weeks. I am currently waiting for the results from my doctor.

As the Lord has said it ''Your days are be numbered''. I want everyone to know that if I were to come home early from my mission than I will not regret anything that has happened. I know without a doubt in my mind that if the Lord needs me home right now it is for a reason. I have gotten to know my Savior so much on my mission! I believe and trust Him! I know that He lives! I know that He suffered for us. The Atonement (suffer of Christ for us) covers so many levels in life. I have tasted and gotten to know more of the Atonement in the past 18 months, than any other point in my life. I know that He has risen from the dead! And I know that because of Him we all can be like him daily and that we can return to live with our Father in Heaven. And it is BECAUSE OF HIM! He is our Captain, our Master, our Shepard. He beckons and desires us, with all his might, ''Come and Follow Me!'' He loves each and everyone of you. There is no trial that we cannot handle in this life. I have a firm testimony of that. Trust him!

I thank you all for your thoughts, love and prayers on my behalf. But when all is said in done, Let the Lord's will be done. I have learned, especially on my mission that the Lord sometimes gives us trials because it teaches us to be humble and that we have to change daily so that we can become more like Him and therefore be the people the Lord wants us to be when we return and meet Him and our Father in Heaven. This is His Church. I invite you all with the best sound of a trump that this email can provide! During this Christmas Season: Discover the Gift, Embrace the Gift and Share the Gift with everyone!!! His fruit is sweet and precious come and find out for yourselves! He truly is the Gift of Christmas! I know this to be true! Have a wonderful week! Love you all and wish you all a Glæde Jul!
