Alright you ready for the sappiness? I absolutely love England with all my heart. My last day in Darlington was so lovely and bittersweet to say goodbye to the friends and members I had grown to love so deeply there. It was so surreal to have some of my last opportunities to teach lessons and stop random people on the street and testify of my Saviour with a companion and a name badge. Riding the bus home and then walking through the square, I just felt like it was the end of another typical miracle-filled day as a missionary. That night, two sets of sisters slept over and it was loads of fun reminiscing all our memories we've made together. The next morning was chucking it down with rain, as it does quite often, and me and some other sisters who were being transferred embarked to Leeds. It was an exhaustingly long day, but so fun to be with all my friends who were going home with me. We were all going a little bit stir crazy and feeling dodgy just chillin at the mission office for majority of the day. I got to ride in the Green's car to the cow and calf and hear some wise words from them, especially about marriage lol. I loved going to the cow and calf, looking out into the beautiful Yorkshire hills that I loved so much, and consecrating the sacred past year and a half I have been able to experience to the Lord. the whole day kinda felt like the last day of school, we even were signing t books which are like yearbooks haha. For tea we had delish Toby Carvery, and went to a hotel and had a little devotional thing there. We all LOST it crying our heads off, bearing our testimonies one last time and sweet Sister Lee gave the closing prayer and we all bawled haha. it was so special and I felt so filled with the spirit and i knew that Heavenly Father was so proud of us. Cute Sister Farrell and I shared a little hotel room that night and were so jittery and excited and nervous.
The next day was theeeeee longest ever, both flights got delayed but lemme tell ya, when us Utahans saw those Rocky Mountains, we were overcome with giddiness. Haha, and it was sooo incredibly hot and dry in utah too when we landed! Wow, seeing my fam again was amazing. So precious and I had missed them so much. I was so touched by everyone who had come to welcome me home. It's good to be back <3
