Good-Byes

We can't believe that our mission is coming to an end!

We have been so busy getting the car ready, cleaning, packing & having dinner appointments for the past 2 weeks. Wow! It feels like we're on a merry-go-round that keeps going faster & faster.

A couple of months ago I was so homesick I didn't think I could stand it. But we kept trying to work hard & keep focused on what we were supposed to do. Then it was, "This is the last Tuesday night we work so we won't see these ordinance workers anymore."...etc. There have been a lot of "lasts" & it has been so hard.

Someone said that we were so lucky because we get to go home. Yes, we are lucky & excited but it shocked me because our focus hasn't been about going home. Our focus has been about the good-byes & those we are leaving behind.

When we came on our mission we left our family & came to the unknown. Now, we are leaving one family to return to another. It's hard & very emotional!

I found a magnet that says exactly how we feel.

A good friend is hard to find, harder to leave & impossible to forget!

We have loved our mission!
