Some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, or end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.

Home Again

Probably the weirdest day of my life.






 We stopped by Cafe Rio on the way home because I had been missing it!
 Enjoying my last few moments as a set apart missionary.
Taking off my nametag that night KILLED me! I have never heard myself cry so hard. It was almost scaring me, and scaring my family I'm sure! I was just sobbing like someone had killed my whole family. My heart felt absolutely broken. There are so many people I left in Argentina that I'll never see again here on earth, and so many amazing experiences and miracles that will never be repeated. I am so happy and grateful that I chose to go on a mission. Thankfully, life has gotten better since that first day home of pain, loneliness, and uncertainty. I am happy to be home again with my family!

On the Way Home

On the way home we stopped in Buenos Aires to go to a temple session. The Buenos Aires Temple is GORGEOUS!!!!! I was so happy to be able to go. The best part was that my third companion, Hermana Cruz, who is from Buenos Aires, came to surprise me with a gift and went to the session with me. It was so awesome!
 
 



 The MTC in Buenos Aires is right next to the temple.




 
At the end of the session, I found myself, again, like the last session before my mission,  in the Celestial Room, asking Heavenly Father for the strength to leave my family and everything that I love. However, this time was worse as I know that I won't be back soon. I am so grateful for all of the miracles I saw and people I met who have truly changed my life.
 
Such an amazing way to end my experience in Argentina!
