Sister Missionaries

I did it again, I forgot to mention my two friends who have just been set apart for missions:
  • Teal - called to serve in the Pocatello, Idaho Temple mission. I love it! I think it's just perfect for her! ... Teal was in my ward when I lived in Provo, Utah (BYU210). We lived in the same apartment complex, she lived directly across from my apartment, and I had the privelege of being her Visiting Teacher. Teal is awesome! She has this beautiful, caring spirit (and she's gorgeous on the outside too!). I loved how understanding she was, for example if something was challenging her in her life she wouldn't get down about the situation she would instead see what she could learn from the situation - and not in a disgruntled manner either. She was always keen to try out new things and get involved. Life with her was always fun, and I was privileged to spend most days hanging out with her playing, talking, dancing, Visiting Teaching - whatever it was, she was so much fun to be with. She's definitely one of my best friends from Provo, and I'm so proud of her for going on a mission! I'm so grateful to have Teal as a friend in my life - I love her!
  • Brittany - called to serve in McAllen Texas, Spanish speaking mission. Brittany is such a darling! She too was in my ward in Provo. We first met at a service project, she stood out because she tall and gorgeous like a supermodel. But do you know what - Brittany was into that 'weeding, dirt smoothing, rock laying' service project more than anyone, and by the end of the evening when everyone else had called it a day and gone home, there we both were with about 4 guys and our Bishop finishing off the project. She has this amazing love for God and the church and really loves doing all she can to align her life with God! I used to love talking with Brittany in the parking lot or on visits to her apartment. I'm so grateful for the wonderful example Brittany is in my life - I love her!
