Lungse Mwet Kosrae!

Dave Harris, from New Zealand, his son and daughter, and my Brinley.

Two weeks ago, we went up to Salt Lake to meet with some of the Elders that Trent and I both served with on Kosrae. One of the Elders was from New Zealand in Salt Lake for a training for work, and there was just no question as to if we were going or not. It was so good to be with the "Bomb Zone" again. We played a game that was probably pretty stupid for an outsider looking in, but it was good to hear the language again, and know that I still understand it(: I think the best thing was just to know that these good Elders that I served with are still strong in the Gospel. They are married and have families of their own and it is just a good feeling knowing they stayed strong. It reminds me of Ammon in the Book of Mormon when he meets up with his brothers after like a 15 year mission to the Lamanites. He was so happy to see them and see that they were still firm in the faith. I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to serve a mission. It was an experience I will never forget, and one that set my life up for things that I never could have imagined on my own. My life was definetly headed in a different direction before my mission, but I am so grateful that I went with the plan my Heavenly Father had for me. I have such a beautiful family because of it. My decision to serve a mission is one I will never regret!!!! Every time we get together, the pictures come out! The Wade's are always so good to let us crash at their house. They even got a pinata for the kids. Thanks Jen, sorry it was so late when we left. You guys are great!!!
