Today was the hardest day of my life. Telling you it was time to go was so hard. But once you walked away, I started to feel very peaceful. Don't worry the tears well up once in while still. Now that the good byes are said and you are exactly where you need to be, the dread and wondering is gone.
One of the first things I saw on Facebook after leaving was a picture of a joyful Eli and Matt Maughan together at the Orlando airport. I am so excited to hear about their experiences and look forward to hear about your's! Take lots of pictures, your camera should arrive on Monday. I hear waiting for that first email is torture, since you don't know when it will come. So we will anxiously watch and patiently wait.
We're so proud of you. We can't wait to hear about the hearts you will touch and the lives that will be forever changed. We will watch and record all the miracles and blessings that come from your service. Trust in the Lord and you will find success. The angels will surround you and that brings me great peace.
I love you to the moon and back!
Love,
Mom
I have been surprised by getting to use my email today, so that is cool. Things are going well overall, although, it does feel like trying to drink out of a firehouse with how much I have to figure out all at once. My companion is a really cool guy by the name of Elder Goertzen. Beyond that, today we congregated as an army of 70-some-odd missionaries to teach real investigators. I love you guys! The Gospel is True! By the way, P-day is on Friday.
