The End Has Come

 

Wow, the final few hours have finally come. It hardly even feels real. All I know these days is just missionary work. Hard to picture myself going back to Utah and being just another Joe Schmo. But all good things have to end some time, unfortunately.

Well I would just like to thank everyone for the great mission that you have made for me. There are so many of you that I wish that I could thank personally for the way you have impacted me, but I hope that this letter will will be good enough. Thank you all for giving me so many great experiences and accepting me as family in your homes. All of you have made me feel so welcome and so loved, and I wish that I could do something in return for all of you. You will all hold a special place in my heart, whether you are in Kansas or Missouri. I never thought I would grow so close to so many people and grow such a soft spot for these two states. It just reminds me of a song that says, "The hardest thing I ever loved to do was get on the plane and come back home to you, but a place far away still hold my heart." I would love to stay in touch with all of you, so please stay in touch and let me know how you are doing. Man this letter just doesn't seem to do the emotions justice. Oh well, it will have to do.

Well my new email address is Todd.Rasband@gmail.com, this email address will be deactivated here soon. Also if you want to look at all my past letters my Mommy made me a blog of all the past letter at http://elderrasbandandtheotm.blogspot.com/. Well I will be arriving home Sunday at the Salt lake airport around 10pm. I  would love to see anyone there who wants to be there. Well thanks again for making my mission what it was. Thanks a million. I love all of you,

Love The Rasbandit!!
