well, tomorrow i will see my dad for the first time in 18 months and then in about a week, we’ll be flying home together to the great state of texas. to say that i’m freaking out would be a major understatement . i’m not sure what all is awaiting in my life, but i do know one thing: God has a plan.
i’ve learned a lot on my mission and i’m so grateful for all the experiences that i’ve had here and for the person i’ve become. for this last email, i want to kind of steal what huntzinger did in hers, so here are 18 things i’ve learned in the past 18 months:
1. God is very real and loves us very much
2. His timing is perfect, even when we don’t think it is
3. the mission is the best and the hardest thing ever and no one really knows how to explain it
4. there’s always room for another bite of food
5. never take the same path going home every single night at the same time, otherwise a creepy dude might follow you
6. eating gelato everyday is awesome :)
7. you never know what anyone else has gone through or is going through, so just love everyone no matter what
8. saying goodbye never gets easier
9. the gospel of jesus christ is real and it works
10. it’s never as scary as it seems
11. drinking water is important
12. jesus christ is the bread of life a.k.a. bread is life
13. hard work and a lotta prayer results in a lotta miracles
14. work hard play hard is my favorite motto
15. hedgehogs purr
16. food is the way to people’s hearts. that and american cookies (is that the same thing?)
17. being grateful makes you a happier person
18. the stars at night are big and bright... deep in the heart of texas
see y’all soon,
sorella meager (ancora)
p.s. i will be landing in the dfw airport friday december 8th. if you want the deets, ask my mom
p.p.s. my homecoming is december 10th at 10701 east lake highlands drive dallas, texas 75041 at 9:00 and then there will be an open house at my house at 18:00. email me or message me if you have any questions :)
