Week 74

They are making me leave and its like getting punched in the gut. I've never felt so grateful in my life. My mission means everything to me - i wouldnt trade it for anything. I don't really know what to say this week - its confusing and mostly sad right now, but I am incredibly excited to see all of you. This week when we sang the mission hymn for my last time was one of the hardest things ive ever done. I was worse than mom listening to "Little Donkey"on christmas. Saying goodbye to the branch was like saying goodbye to you all for the first time. Its like a big circle. They keep you here til you love it so much and then they tear your heart out. A new mission president got called this week - Bratr Pohořelicky. It will be hard for everyone to lose the McConkies- they mean so much to me. But if I were to pick anyone next it would be him and his wife. The members here are incredible and have changed me the most. They are like modern day pioneers. A lot of goodbyes and a lot of tears - but just as always, its all in the wisdom of Him who knoweth all things. I know that God lives. This is really His work and I'm so grateful to have been a part of it. Now its time to go serve where I came from. I love you all - thanks for the support and love. 

S laskou,
