Coming Home

Dear Mom and Dad,
President Johnson and I just got off the phone and he told me to write you an email. For the past few weeks I have been really struggling with feeling good and not being in pain. It's started with one thing and then another and now I'm just kind of stuck not sure what to do. Ive been frustrated using missionary work time to go to a doctor and also because they cant seem to figure out whats wrong. My rash has been bleeding and spreading more down my back, and the pain in my lower back and groind ever since three weeks ago is just getting worse. (To the point where i cant sleep or sit or stand for long periods of time) I've prayed and prayed about this. Almost immediately after i prayed, sister Johnson called me to check in. She told me that she thinks it's time. She said if I'm worried about the "finishing the mission" part then I shouldn't be because I'm down to a matter of weeks before I come home. I know my pain level and emotional levels and I know what i can handle. But i will be able to tell you more details of whats going on and what im feeling. I feel at peace with the decision. Sister Johnson told me it's the smarter thing to do. Last time i was feeling about going home it was different. I felt like I might regret it. This time it's so clear. Right now I'm on hydrocodone (they had me get some today) and it is finally giving me relief. I will give you more details later. President Johnson just wanted me to let you know that I will be coming home. He's prayed about it and feels like it's the right thing to do. He will be calling you in the morning so don't worry about figuring all of that out. He will let you know tomorrow the details. I love you so much. 
Love Sarah
