Week 102: Sweet Home Alabama!!!

Dear Friends and Family,

I got transfer calls and the ZLs told me I was going home!! So I asked them if I was going to Alabama again because that's what the song says!!! PSYCH, Utah will have to do :)

A lot of mixed emotions leaving the place I've called home for two years. At the beginning, I thought it would go on for ever and that the mission was what I would call life! It definitely has treated me well, though I'm not too good at saying goodbyes. And there was definitely a lot of hard goodbyes this past week with those whom I have come to love tremendously. I am grateful for the past and optimistic about the future! I thank everyone for everything they have done for me in providing support and love in every moment! I truly love you all!

Welp, mom, I will see you Thursday :) I love you lots!

Yep, I'm still crazy!
...and I like to take pictures with watermelons...

But lots of people still love me.
 





Good bye, everyone...I'll miss you all!!!
