T E X A S: Every single day last year I spent as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Saying goodbye to Hermana Vance!

I love my life!! Y'all have no idea how amazing it is to be here. This week was so crazy, but it was so much fun and I am just on cloud 9 with the wonder of being a missionary. I cannot believe I am running out of time so quickly! If you find out any of my travel details, don't tell me. I plan to pretend like I'm just not going home until about 5 minutes before I get off the plane. Because I love it here way too much to even think about having to give it up.

Anyway, on to the week--let's just say, goodbyes for days. Everyday, we got a text from the zone leaders with a change for transfer day. It finally ended up happening on Saturday, so I got almost a full week extra with Sisters Wilkins and Carter. The poor sisters had to like live out of their suitcases and say goodbye like 5 times to people in case they would have to leave. But it ended up being a GREAT week. We even got to do some service painting at a member's home, which is always my favorite kind of service.

Our new years was spent in our trio too--we're so lame haha. We were in bed by 10 pm and didn't even consider waking up at midnight to cheer happy new year. It was a fun night in though! We played games, laughed a lot, and ate. But it was crazy to think back on how every single day last year, I spent as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. How amazing is that! And such a wonderful privilege. I loved everyday of it, and I am so happy that some of 2016 gets to be spent as a missionary too:) The best part is that even though we start a new year, we get to start where we left off the year before. Through Christ, we wash away all the bad, and we can continue progressing with all the good we brought! It is simply amazing.

Now, I am with my new companion, Hermana Harvey, and I love her!! We have only been together like 2 days, and we are already best friends. I am having so much fun and growing like crazy. We come from completely different lives, and somehow, we have the same personality. This week, we have exchanges in Dalhart, TX and Mission Leadership Council in Lubbock, so it will be crazy busy, but so much fun too! I love you all and hope you have a happy new year!!
