Mission Farewells

So I've currently been having busy days! It's been really good! I just currently had what felt like the longest weekend of my life! Friday I went home and spent the night at my sisters! It was a blast! :) I love going over there and hanging out with her! Saturday was baby time for my sister-in-law (see post below this one) and it was pretty exciting! I made it home, showered, and took care of some busy computer stuff that needed doing. Evan came at 4:32 and then my sister and I headed over to the hospital to visit him! He's so cute! It was really fun! Both sides of the family went to dinner to celebrate (of course without the main people, don't worry Jake & Crystal, we'll go again and you can actually come this time!).

Then I drove up to Logan with my roommates, to meet up with my other roommate who was already there. We have this friend Robert, who is leaving on his mission on Wednesday. He's going to Fresno, California! He's speaking Spanish too! Whitney and I went to over to some guy friends' house, and we stayed the night there while Lexi and Katie stayed with Katie's friends. We all met up in the morning, and drove to Preston, Idaho for Robert's farewell! It was maybe a 30-45 minute drive. There was a ton of people after wards at the get together. It was crazy! He did such a wonderful job on his talk! :) I'm proud of him! It's a huge deal to leave everything for two years.

Well Katie and Robert have been "dating" I guess you could call it, for a couple months now, so of course we not only went to support him, but to support her as well. I know exactly what her and Robert went through yesterday, and I'm going to be honest, it isn't easy. Not one bit! But it is amazing, I can tell you that too! I'm really proud of both of them though, for going through that. I don't know if many of you think it's necessary to say how proud of them I am, and how grateful, but I can honestly say, after experiencing all of this, its true! Anyway, it was a tender moment I think for the girls of D1 but I especially think it was tender for Katie & Robert! They're just the cutest friends you ever did see. You can tel they're best friends like none other, and it's something they'll always share with each other.

I just absolutely love this photo.

All in all, farewells are good. They may be hard, but they're so good. It's really neat to hear the different topics that each missionary has spoken on, of all the farewells I've been too. Some of them are a lot harder than others, and some are easy to say goodbye. I have some really close friends that are leaving soon.

These boys have been really good friends of mine, for a really long time, and they'll all be getting their mission calls this year! It's really exciting!! It's so fun to find out where the Lord wants them to serve, and now that I've got a little information from how they choose where missionaries serve, it's even more exciting!! These boys have meant a lot to me in my life, and have always been such great examples :) I wish them all the best of luck! Yes, I may cry and miss them, but it'll be fun to write them!!
