The time has come, and we are finally headed out to basically travel the world for the day! We are first stopping in LA, and then Hong Kong, and finally I will be in the Philippines. Literally the place I've been dreaming of since I decided I wanted to serve a mission for The Lord. I can't believe it.
Every moment here in the MTC has been a blessing and a tender mercy. My companions have changed my life and taught me life lessons, and the Elders in my district have been anchors to us. I don't think I have words enough to explain the amount of love I have for my zone.
Everyone always says that when you serve a mission, your capacity to love grows more than you could have expected or imagined. I'm already seeing that, so I can't begin to IMAGINE how much love I'll be able to fit into my heart when I finally meet these people... One thing I have had to learn is that next to every daunting goodbye stands a more beautiful hello.
That's what I'll look forward to when I have to say my goodbyes to people I've grown so fond of.. A more beautiful hello.
Thank you all for being a part of my life. Thank you for the lessons each of you have taught me, and for the love you've all shown me. I'm beyond grateful, and I feel that God has blessed me more than I deserve with people who make saying goodbye painful. I love you all.
Now I'm headed to the Philippines, this is just the start.
