3 years!

So, 3 years ago today I finished my mission! I still can't believe I've been done now for 3 years. The time has passed so quickly since I've been home. There are days where it doesn't even feel like I even went on a mission. To celebrate the fact that I've been home now for 3 years, I came down to Utah this weekend and I'm staying with my friends Natalie and Steve and their little girl in Taylorsville. We went to church this morning and now we're home for lunch and later this afternoon we will be going to Temple Square. I'm really excited! Especially to be spending time with them this weekend. Natalie was my roommate for a semester way back in 2004 and she married Steve while I was on my mission but they came to Temple Square a few months later to see me and I was able to meet Steve for the first time after hearing so much about him. It sucks that I have to go back to Rexburg tonight but I love spending time with my wonderful friends. I loved my mission so much and I am grateful for the opportunity that I had to serve in such a wonderful place. I met so many wonderful people and I served with so many wonderful sisters and senior couples. I wish I could visit with all the people I served with often but we're all in different countries. I loved my mission! And I'm really excited that it was in a place so special but also that it was in a place that I can go back to.
