7.1 pineapple belongs on pizza

There's this one song that I love.

And I will always remember listening to it with 

Emma stanley

On the floor of the mtc classroom one day.

When it was snowing.

And a really hard bad day.

"Go tell the world about me.

I was dead but now I live.

I've got to go now for a little while

But goodbye

Is not the end."

And I keep feeling like my mission is full of these goodbyes. And hellos. And nos vemos más pronto but really you never know how pronto it's gonna be.

I think about His apostles. 

Please stay.

Please don't go.

I don't know how I can do life without you.

Again.

I've already tried it and it is so hard.

And He tells them, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I can't stay with you forever. But I have work to do and you know what?

You do too. 

And i think that's where I am right now. I hate loving so big. It hurts so much when you open your heart so wide and then have to close it real tight because you have to leave. Again. The people you love.

But He did. He loved so much. And HE LOVES SO MUCH. today, tomorrow yesterday! The people of parachico, the people of Alto Selva Alegre, and the people of Mirador. 

So hey! I'm in Mirador now. It's way big. The people are way nice. My comp is way cool. My pension is way fitness. But my heart hurts a little. 

But that's okay because I need to love here. It's been amazing starting. We've already seen miracles. I'm know that the green b bus passing by when it did wasn't an accident. 

That Michelle coming to the morning session of general conference wasn't by mistake. 

I got a goal today in soccer. Was epic. Only took out 2 Latinos in the process. I feel kind of bad because I'm like this awkward white girl and they are like Latinos and good at soccer and then I scored on them and ya. 

My new comp is hermana Ferrin! And she's way cool. Super hard working, from Wyoming and she's trying to talk to everyone which is so good. Because i have no idea what's going on (per usual) so she kind of entertains herself while I run around like a chicken with my head cut off. 

Had a sleepover with hermana bird. Had to go to the bathroom. There was no toilet paper. Had to buy toilet paper bcuz the elders didn't leave any (thx guys). 

Anyways. God is real. I love the mission. General conference gave me so much hope and peace and knowledge that this church is TRUE. I love you all, but jesus loves u more.

Xoxo
