I would first and foremost love to hear Grandma, and Aubrey and Amber, they are the talent of the family and they deffinately invite the spirit. If they could sing a song about missionary service, or there's a song that they have in seminary by a lady and it's called "I am" some of the lines go "maker, creater, life sustainer....when I am weak unable to speak, still I can call him by name, and he says I am." I don't know who it is by. Or if they could sing, a song that goes something like" nations fall before him, the rivers crawl to find him, mountains move just to let him through,...come and never leave him." However these are just suggestions. Whatever they put together I'm sure will shake the very ground, and I can't wait to hear it. Whatever you find if it is one of these, or something else, make it a surprise, I don't want to know what it is until I hear it on that day. I love the topic that I was given to speak on though. I might be able to write you something next wednesday, I don't know though. It has been great writing to you though. I will miss this, bearing my testimony through the written word. I wrote most of everything that I have time for. Today we were in the city and now I need to get to bed. Today was amazing in the city. I talked to some great people on the train, I just love sharing the gospel and getting into conversations with people. It was incredible just talking to people. I loved seeing the city again, this is my home, this is my home. I loved it. The day went by so fast, like these two years, it's insane. The day with Bill was awesome, some great last memories in the city, and reminiscing with Bill. Well I'm off to Bed. I wrote dad more. It's been a pleasure writing you and this is the last one,......1 Timothy 3:14 and 2 John 1:12.

Love Elder Adams

P.S.-Tear it up Josh, love every minute of it. Time is so precious especially as a missionary. I love you Bro.

Really good weather for the rest of the week and next week.... I love it!!!! Let's tear it up and light it up. Everybody is going to hear me shout it from the roof tops. We go down into the vineyard to labor for the last time here, to be in this vineyard, and then I go to labor in another part. I've gotten an idea that I have to think of it as another transfer that I'm just getting a new area. Thanks dad for your consolation and words of encouragement. I'm sorry I can't write a whole ton more, I've been down in the city today for our last trip. We went and met bill and we had a good time. It was awesome weather. I have some good pictures and today went by so fast. I'm so stoked. Sunday night I was chanting at my companion, "lets do it" it's the last hooray!!! I made him put his fist in and give a chant. We're coming around the corner and it's the straight away. Oh man can you feel it,..... this is when it all comes down you can put it all out there. I love it its like a surge of adrenaline. It feels so good. The angels of God are behind and pushing forward, I just feel the chanting and surging. At the same time, whenever I have an incredible contact or a meeting with someone it's hard because then I think how hard it will be to not have these experiences or to not have these feelings all the time. I had one the other day and it was hard. I actually started crying while we were out tracting as we walked away from this man who had taken a copy of the Book of Mormon and after I'd shared my testimony and told him about some interesting war chapters which made him interested in the book of Mormon. I love this work and the feelings so much. Today in the city was especially incredible. Remembering times with Bill and how we met him. He recounted how we met and the different times teaching him and how he accepted baptism and that was two years ago. It's come and gone. Today went by like it was nothing. It was such a good day though, such good memories. I love this city and being down there oh it was so good. I also had my last interview with President Doll and he said how he liked how I am a good example of a missionary working hard up to the end. He said he's notice one thing about me how I've been consistant all throughout my mission. It was a good interview. I also spoke on sunday and they had one of the speakers not show up so they asked me and my comp to speak about 20 min before sacrament started. It turned out awesome. There was so much praise from the members, I think they were touched, it went well, not bad for no notice, plus I had a cold. Well this will probably be my letter home as it's late right now and I need to get to bed. I don't know If I'll write anything to mom so be sure and share this. I love you Dad, family, and all. You've been an incredible support and I love you all. This is the last hoorah, the final days, my last week in the mission field. Here we go, go, go!!!! We're gonna make it happen!!!! It's the last week though.... it's the last of everything, it's hard to think of and then it will all be over. I love you all. 1 Timothy 3:14 and 2 John 1:12. I love you.

Love Elder Adams, The last letter home,..... The last Chapter.......My closing remarks.
