Hi everyone!

I forgot to write an email last week so I am once again sending out two emails today. My bad.. In my defense, it has been a crazy last few weeks.

Well. I’ve finally left my baby zone. I was in Denton my entire mission up to this point and now I’m gone. I never thought this day would come…

I’m so sad but I am also really really excited. The missionaries in Denton have straight up become my favorite people and best friends. It’s hard to believe that any other place or people could be as great as this place and these people. But I know its gonna be so good. Plus, you already know I’m gonna see those guys after the mish, so it’s all good. 

So what happened last week? Not much. Not this last week, but the week before was our last week in quarantine and we just got out last Tuesday! What stunk the most though was that the day we got out was the day I had to leave. The nice part was that we were able to make that day our pday so we could all hang out.

We got up and went fishing at 7:30am. Guys, I didn’t know this was gonna be so hard but I am gonna miss fishing. Like I was so sad that that was gonna be my last time… Definitely gonna have to get back into that when I get home. But our ZL’s came with another companionship and the 6 of us had a fishing party. Just chilling and talking and having a good time. Then we went and got breakfast at Buc-cee’s and ate in our cars, parked side by side, for the last time. Man, I miss those guys. Such great memories.

The rest of the day was kinda hectic and filled with lots of writing in transfer journals and final rounds of “around the world”. I had to be out of there no later than 2:15… I said quick goodbyes and boy that was tough. It honestly felt like leaving home again.

But anywho, transfers happened and now I am in the Alliance Zone serving in the Saratoga Ward. My new companion is Sister Baker and she is pretty chill, so I’m happy about that.

Change is hard but I know it helps us grow. That is a truth I have to remind myself because I can really struggle with change sometimes. Especially this one. But I know that I am here for a reason and that this experience is gonna be what I make it. It’s up to me and the attitude I choose to have. We are taking what comes and loving it because life is too short to be living any other way. It’s gonna be good.

Love y’all so much! Thanks for all you do!
