Pictures



I really wanted to send you some of these pictures last week, but I just really didn't have time.  Last week was so great, and so sad for me.  The mission is the best thing I have ever done in my life, by the way.

1.  Sister Shen and I at the Temple.  I cannot tell you how blessed I was to go to the Temple with her and the other departing missionaries.  That was such a blessing that it was this transfer I was able to go when so many of my friends were going home.  Sister Shen is one of my best friends... I don't even want to say mission best friends, she is simply one of my life best friends.  She changed my mission and my life last transfer by helping me wake up and realize what I need to improve.  And because I trust her, I listened.  We are holding our arms up because I told her about how when I was little I would always pose and things and she thought it was so funny, so we did it like all the time :)




 

2.  With Elder Ashcraft and Elder Sutton at the Temple.  I love these Elders so much, I'm so grateful that I was able to serve around them.  They are really some of my best friends as well.  After I left Swinton like everytime I would see them I would have this huge smile on my face because I was so excited.  So many jokes.  Like right before this picture was taken I was like, 'I found a skirt with pockets in it...' and Elder Ashcraft was like, 'Why did you just tell us that?'  So funny.  Anyway...

Wasn't the lighting at the Temple so good?  It was like raining the whole day, but these pictures turned out nicely.

3.  Anna's baptism!  I think I forgot to tell you, but Anna was baptised on the same day as Tong :)  I grabbed this picture from Sister Beaty.

4. Our last Chinese meal in Preston.  A few days later when we found out that I and Sister Shen were leaving, Shen Chen started crying, and I started crying and Sister Shen started crying.  A lot of tears that week.
