I will see you on FRIDAY!

Hey Mom, 

This week was great I got to be Kegans escort, do another session with President Riggs, we made a really funny "American Missionry Idol" video, I bore my testimony in church, and then we went over and made food all day on Sunday with the Bodines. There parents really have turned around and are so much nicer to the missionaries. The mom even offered to have me stay with them at there house if I ever visit this area again. That is a big change for them! I dont have much more to say that I will be able to discuss on Friday other than, saying goodbye to Kegan was the hardest thing I had to do on my mission. He started to cry when he was hugging me and told me that I was the example for him and that we was going to use that on his mission. I love these people so much and am so eternally grateful to my Heavenly Father for the chance that I have had to serve. 

I am saddened that this is coming to an end. I am ready for the next phase of my life and it will be great to see you all again, but as a missionary here once said "It was hard to leave home, they just never tell you that you have leave home twice on your mission." This is going to be so hard to leave. But I know it has to happen. I am so glad that I chose to serve. I cannot even imagine where I would be if I decided not to go. There is a lot in store and I am ready for it. I love you and am so thankful for all your love and support. 

I love you so much!  And Mom, I can finally say this now, I will see you on FRIDAY!

Love eternally,

Elder Casey Powell
