And I will have the opportunity to be a Sister Training Leader, and we will be training a new missionary! woo! 2 new companions!! Its going to be exciting!
I don't like all of these goodbyes! I will miss Thornlie ward so much! I'm so grateful for all that I've learned here, over the past year! I'm so blessed that I was able to be around amazing members and investigators and companions! They have taken me in and made me feel like part of their family and I can never thank them enough for that! They have shown me pure Christlike love! They will always have a special place in my heart! I am eternally grateful!!! I love you all and I hope you have an amazing week! Remember to continue to #LightTheWorld!
