So this weekend I had the open house and my farewell talk! Everything thing went really well! The highlight of the weekend was Rachel surprised me and came home. Words can't express how grateful I am to have had her with me this weekend. My mom (being my mom) wanted to take a million and one pictures of everyone who came (though I have to admit I'm glad she did) and for every picture she said the same thing. "She has to take her Ward Family with her to Scotland" as I looked around I was so grateful that I've got not only a wonderful real family but an awesome ward family as well. All I could think about was that its nights like Friday that give us a little glimpse of what heaven will be like. With loved ones all around. The only thing that could've made this weekend better was having more friends & more family here to share it with us!
(Katie, Rachel & I all together again!)
I also got to go to the temple with my grandparents & parents. It was really nice to be in the Lord's House with them. We also had the opportunity to seal my grandma to her mother. It was the first time I was able to participate/ be in the sealing room (well besides open houses and stuff). How grateful I am for forever families. Its the reason why I am going on a mission. So that other families can find the Joy I have in the gospel & live with those they love most forever.
(My beautiful family, well part of it)
