Diamond Days

Sister Frame and L.

well....this week was super hard.  Probably the busiest I've seen in a while.
S. and I woke up at 3:30 am on Wednesday because I had a "career workshop" in Cauayan.  We didn't get home until 10:00 that night.  BUT, the same day the stars aligned and I saw a miracle.

I SAW SISTER L!  She's been sick, so she has been in the mission home this last week.  Sweet Sister Rahlf gave me a whole 30 minutes to hang out with L.  We talked and cried as much as we could squeeze into 30 minutes.  It was a sweet tender mercy.

I'm so grateful I have been assigned to Penablanca.  The members of the bishopric are seriously the coolest people in the world.  We have an appointment at Bishop's house a little later tonight...speaking of today - I still actually have a TON to do.  The whole reality of my life right now doesn't feel real.  I've been so good at not thinking about anything - which is probably going to be a BIG punch in the face when I have to leave for Cauayan.

Pack?

I get butterflies thinking about seeing all of you guys again.

This is it.

It's bittersweet.  Mostly bitter right now.  I think the sweet part I'll feel when I see you again.
I can't believe it's over already.  It all happened so fast.  I'm sad it's over.  But, I guess I have a new chapter to look forward to.

I feel so humbled that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the opportunities, the miracles, and the experiences that He has these last 18 months.  I've learned more than I can even begin to comprehend.

...they really were diamond days.

I love you!
over and out from the Philippines.
