I Hate Goodbyes!

Well first off I am leaving Marion!

I can't really explain how I feel about it.  It's like I am leaving home again?

I have really grown to love everyone here and feel like i am a part of a family.It will be SUPER hard for me to go tomorrow, but I know I am needed

somewhere else. 

Second, I got called to be a Zone Leader! I am super excited, but also way nervous or maybe just anxious.I can't wait to see were I will be or who with!  I am so sad to be leaving my brown boy Elder Afalava. Love that kid.But new adventures are ahead! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

This week has just been amazing.  I will be brief (Cause I have to pack, and by pack I mean I have to find a way to stuff all my clothes into my suitcases) (somethings never change). This week I have once again learned a lot of service.  We wanted to show everyone that we have met that we love them.  So I made literally 80+ chocolate chip cookies for all these people.  It was so fun.  We made plates for all the people we are teaching, have taught, and other people we just love.  It was amazing to see peoples faces just light up and you could see that they really loved it.  It was so worth all the hand mixing.  Seriously i will never take a Kitchen-aid for granted again! Anyway something as simple as making cookies for someone really shows that you care.

In return I just felt really good the rest of the week.  I think we could all do a little better at doing something nice for others. Small acts of love. 

Anyway I love you guys!  I will send my new address next week!!! Thanks for all the emails and letters and just love! It means more than you know!  Also shout-out to The Sandman for being AVCA Player of the Week!  You're the man! 

Love you guys!
