Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! On December 19 my bestest friend in the whole world will return from her mission. It also happens to be her birthday that day! I can't tell you how excited I am. I pretty much tell everyone I see. Even though I have not been able to physically see her for the past 18 months, I have had the opportunity to write MANY letters and emails. It has been said that having a member of your family on a mission brings blessings. What a blessing it has been in my life to have my best friend on her mission. While I may not be blood related, I do consider her like a sister. When I was having a hard time or problems she always knew what to say. Even when answers came a week later since she can only write and email on Mondays, they still somehow applied and gave me hope and comfort. I am honestly so excited to have her home that I am counting down the hours!!!!!!!!! Only 101 more hours to go!
I will try to write a better final "What happened in 2011" post, I do want to say how greatful I am for this year. This year has been a roller coaster with ups and downs. I have however, come closer to my Savior, Jesus Christ. This year I have gained a deeper understanding of the atonement and Jesus Christ. It is because of this that I have a deeper compassion for those that I work with. Thank you to everyone who has not hid their light and have impacted my life in one way or another.
