Goodbyes...

So ever since I went through the temple for the first time I've been attempting to attend every-other day, and so far it has been a pretty succesful attempt. I love goingto the temple, and I wish I could go there every day on my mission as well. Haha I am serving a mission for another purpose though. So even if that means waiting until I come back home to attend again, that's ok with me. As of right now, I am with my mom doing the final things on the todo list. And its only thirty-two hours (and conting) until I drive to the airport, for my flight to the MTC!!! On Friday the 18th of march, my lovely friend, melissalyn, hosted a "farwell shindig". It was one of the best times I can count with my friends. It is going down in my book of history. We went to this park in plano, played "Capture the Flag", ninga and this other game called "Missionary Tag". For those of you who don't know what missionary tag is, it is a game in which you pair up with another person and form a circle, with two people in the middle. The two in the middle act like a cat and a mouse (the cat is trying to catch the mouse), during this the "mouse" tries to hook onto a pair of other mice. When a mouse hooks onto a pair, the mouse on the opposite end has to run from the cat. It is quite a entertaining game if I do say so myself. Anyways, we also took lots of pictures and ate yummy refreshments, that later got stollen by some silly teenagers. All in all it was a great farewell. Saturday I attedned tbe temple with some of my friends and got to spend some quality time with them. Sunday was my family ward farwell talk and I hear from those who attended, that itwas really good. Sigh of relief for that. After church my family hosted an open house to say goodbye to my family ward and other friends. I' so glad that those who were able to come, did. Now today was filled with preporations for Wednesday. We purchased the final needed items, cleaned up the remnants of last night, worked on clothing alterations and figured out how to pack everything into just two suitcases (now that's a job haha). Well its 11:30pm right now and siblings are asleep, so I'm off to help mom finnish alterations and finnish packing. Next post to come soon. Love, Heather
