Surprise!

Homies:

 

First things first! We moved apartments! So my address is now 22985 Climbing Rose #206 Moreno Valley, CA 92557. Before it was #204 but we moved because the dude that lives under us smoked big time in his apartment and we would come home to a staaaanky apartment every night and it was making us all sick. So now we have a nice clean one :) So send everything to #206!

 

Well this week was good! So Elder Evans from the 70 came to our mission... That was interesting. Everyone thought we were going to get iPads and that that was the reason he was coming.. But nope! Nothin. Whatever, we don't want iPads anyways................... But yeah he was really good. He was super bold but honestly I don't know what the purpose of him coming was... Haha but it was a good spiritual boost and I got to see some old homies so that was fun :)

 

Soooooo.... As you all know I have been dealing with these stupid migraines basically the past year of my mission. So after much prayer, fasting, blessings, thought, and everything else... I'm coming home. In two weeks. 16 days. Surprise :) Suuuuper crazy but I am excited and it needs to happen. So let me explain..

 

So obviously these have been a problem for quite some time.. But not once have I thought about coming home early from my mission. Not once. But one night my migraine was especially bad and I was laying there just thinking and out of the clear blue the thought came to me that I needed to go home. Obviously I was shocked and pushed it out of my mind but it kept coming back. The more I thought about it the more it made sense. We have been staying home a lot... I mean a lot.. and getting nothing really accomplished. It's been pretty pathetic and pretty discouraging for both myself and my companion. So I prayed about it.. and prayed.. and prayed. I kept getting the answer that it was my choice, and that everything would be okay either way. I talked to my mission president and started the interview and just felt really at peace about it. Then we were able to go to the temple.. Which was much needed. The feelings and the answers that I got in the temple were undeniable that I needed to come home. But I also felt so much love and appreciation from my Heavenly Father, that I wasn't giving up, but that this was a part of His plan for me. For what reason, I'm not sure. But I know that everything will be okay and that Heavenly Father is proud of me. I know that I have accomplished what I have been sent here to do. In my heart, I honestly don't feel like I am coming home "early". I am coming home at 17 months and I know that I have served my full time mission to the best of my abilities.

 

So.. Surprise! I will be home on November 4th :)

 

Basically that has been preoccupying my thoughts this last week. That and how annoyed I am with my bloody migraines. Haha but all is well. We'll work hard these last couple weeks and end on a good note. I'm determined about that! So I guess I will see you all soon! Thank you for all of your support and love lately. Much appreciated :)

 

Love you!
