One Year Has Passed

Today, one year ago, we officially started serving our mission in the Utah Provo Mission office. An amazing experience and one I will cherish always. It seems a lot longer than just a year, so much has happened.
I want my grandchildren to know how much I love our Heavenly Father. I have a strong testimony and have loved serving Him. We finished our mission earlier than I had anticipated, because of health concerns, but I will ever be grateful for the lessons I learned along the way. Putting my complete trust and faith in Him and knowing that whatever happens will be His will. And I want my will to completely line up with His will. That is one of the big lessons of life.
Some of you may notice, I changed the name of this blog. I don't know yet, what the future has in store for me, but for now, I am linda.jo.from.lindon.
I will be taking more classes this fall. I love learning and feel blessed to be here in Utah. I still don't know whether BYU will hire me back or which pathway I will take. But my faith has been strengthened and I feel peace in my soul as I know that Heavenly Father is aware of me, loves me unconditionally, and has a plan for me while I am still here on earth.
I want to live with Him again and learn to be completely obedient in the time I have left. Such a blessing to live in these latter days when the fullness of the gospel is on the earth. My love and admiration for the prophet Joseph Smith and the scriptures increased this past year. I will always be a missionary...with or without a formal calling.
