Note: Meagan didn't really describe what she did on her "mission tour" this past week, but fortunately we got an inside source to give us a brief description via Facebook. Thanks Sister Marsh in Newcastle!
"It was so good to see your sweet daughter again yesterday! She looks so happy and so self-assured. The focus of the zone training was on treating everyone like First Class (as opposed to budget class) passengers. Sister Larson and her companions dressed and played the role of really cute flight attendants, and also gave a presentation on studying continually to be prepared for any emergency. They did great!!"
And now, the final letter:
Dear everyone,

And now, the final letter:
Dear everyone,
Well here it is. My last e-mail on my mission. Does it feel weird? Yes, absolutely! I never thought I'd get this far. Yet somehow I managed and now here I am in a library in Leeds, trying not to cry my eyes out at the thought of never being able to come back to England as a full-time missionary.
It has been the best eighteen months of my life so far. I love England, I love the people I've been able to meet. I love serving the Lord. If you or anyone you know is considering a mission, just know that a mission is awesome! It has been the hardest eighteen months of my life as well, but that is what has made it so good.
If all of what I have experienced and learned could be summed up in one sentence, it would be this one that I found in Preach My Gospel this morning: "As we share the gospel, we appreciate how precious and meaningful it is to us, and we feel a greater love for God and others." This has definitely happened to me. I have gained a stronger testimony of the gospel, and I have come to love the people I've met more in-line with the way Christ loves them.
Thank you all again for your continued support and love. I look forward to seeing you all again someday. Work hard, have fun! Love you all!
Love,
Sister Larson :)
