We are doing emails a little
bit later today because we spent the morning at the aquarium where we got to
see all sorts of crazy stuff because a YSA that works there took us so she got
us into all the cool behind the scenes things! Then afterwards we decided to go
get a bite to eat and I realized how much I have been spoiled with seafood and
will probably miss fresh seafood at my fingertips. We went to this great little
pier that is right next to the Lexington
and the aquarium and the bridge and downtown and as I was just sitting there I
said to the other missionaries, you know what, WE ARE SO BLESSED! It is true! I
love everything about my mission and about my area and about my friends and
about just everything! I think I have just been reflecting lately and I just
love everything about being here!
We had a fun experience to
be in a wedding this weekend! We have Sandra who is getting baptized on
Saturday so she and her husband got married last Saturday. Super cool! She then
passed her interview on Sunday so she is ready to go! I am excited that she is
making this change in her life and then they are going to work towards getting
to the temple! So cool!
Marie is coming up
to Corpus next Tuesday to pick me up and take me back down to McAllen for me to leave. I am so happy I get
to see her and little Aiden! They are so special! We're going to get some lunch
then she'll drop me off! It's like I've gone back to Guru's in October, waiting
to go to the MTC, except this time just sucks haha! No, I am excited. It is
definitely harder to leave here than it was to come.
Over the course of my
mission, I have really learned a lot and I can't wait to learn even more! I am
feeling a little light headed right now trying to think and talk about how
awesome my mission is! I don't think it will really hit me until I am actually
home, which is actually great because it helps me just work work work! We have
awesome members, awesome ward, awesome area, awesome apartment; basically
awesome everything! And we're so blessed to live so close to the elders because
they help us out ALL THE TIME! Like anytime we need anything, we just call
them. They are helping me ship my bike today. They are awesome. Well, they also
have the truck so they kind of have to help me. :)
I can't believe it is
snowing there! It just started getting warm down here which is like high 80s so
I don't know how going back home will work out. Good thing we will be coming
right back because my body will need to thaw out.
Well. The work is going. We
are getting another group of 8 sisters when I leave which will make every
companionship of sisters except for like 2 or 3 a training companionship. And I
am going to be made a great-grandmother this transfer, along with a grandmother
2 more times. Sister Ramos and Ramirez will be training and Sister Huskinson,
Sister Vandyke’s baby, will be training as well. I think Sister V is coming up
to Corpus to replace me which would be SICK! I think we'll have to come and
visit her wherever she is when we come down. Just sayin'
So...I'm struggling with
this email. I just have so many things in my head that I don't really know how
to approach it because this is NOT my last email, but I feel slightly like it
is. Weird. asodig aherkjhgsdkfjhvslerhgs;erhgasefg
I think that helped.
Well. I love you all family!
You have been the best support a sister missionary could ever ask for! I can't
even begin to express the love I feel for every one of the family members and
friends that have helped me in the past year and a half. It has meant the world
to me! And more than that, it has helped me do the work. Indirectly, every one
of you reading this has indirectly been a part of changing the lives of the
people I have taught. You have brought people unto God! How great shall be your
joy!
I love you all so much and
will see you in just a few short days. Weird!
For those of you that really
want to know, I am coming home on the 24th and anyone who wants to come and see
me at the airport is welcome. Not that I am screaming to the world to come, but
everyone should feel like they can if they want to. I have no idea what time
though so call my mom and ask her. :) 801 298 3105
