MOM! We just had a missionary
who got sick and President needs a temporary missionary for about 3
weeks! I told him that I was willing and would LOVE to do it! So I will
still be home in time for school but they just changed my flight plans,
is that okay? I told them that it was and that they didn't even need to
inform you! Okay okay okay, that's not true- it is all a lie. I have
come on a mission to share absolute truth, not to lie. What a waste of
time this would have been if it wasn't true. So just kiddin' I'll be
home on Thursday!
To tell you some more truth- I have no idea what to write
right now. Truly it is like tons of things running around the head and
not a think the say haha.
MOSTLY- I want to say Happy
Father's Day! Thank you for everything Dad. I can't really put it to
words. But I have been blessed with a great father. I am so excited to
work with you again. That was my favorite growing up, all the projects
we did growing up and seeing your great example of being a man of
integrity. I remember, as I am sure Race does, "listening with sleepy
ears to bedtime stories from 2 special years." That is a line from a
unfinished poem I will give to you if I can ever finish it. Thank you
for everything Dad. I have always been proud to say that I have never
heard my father raise his voice... referees not included. No ones
testimony touches me the way my father's does. As the little kids say
"my dad could beat up your dad" but my dad is too kind to do anything
like that.
Gramps says, "The best way to kill time is to work it to
death!" Well the time has FLOWN by! I feel like I just got transferred
from my first area in Pasacao! I would like my family to know that I
have "E.R.E.D'ed" I have been diligent and obedient without exception my
whole mission. Not perfect but NEVER lazy and NEVER disobedient. I love
my mission so much. It means more to me than I never knew it could.
Really I have nothing much to say. I am going to try REALLY
HARD not to be a weird RM when I get home but I will probably be a
little weird but I am committed to hit the ground running when I get
home. I love my mission so much but I won't be a RM who can't see that
HE HAS RECEIVED ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT in a different area and for a very
long period of time and even great blessings and people to meet and what
not. I am also not going to be a RM who just wants "back to the world"
no spank you! So, basically I will see you all THURSDAY! That is the
happy news. Now I just have to figure out a way to say goodbye to these
people... that is going to be very very hard! But we "smile because it
happened and don't cry (too much) because it is over."
I love you all a bushel. I am thankful for your prayers on my
behalf. I pray for you and can't wait to see you and hug you. I have
thought about that day my whole mission and when I would think about it I
would remember the last words of wisdom gramps gave to me before I
left, "Earn It!" He had a way of "SAYING A LOT without speaking much."
And he wanted you to do the same. Or he just might tell you, "You sure
do speak a lot without saying much. ANYWAY- see ya Thursday! As Gramps
as my witness I have "Earned It."
