Reflections...
A couple of weeks ago I lapsed my one year mark. It has been strange as the days have started to repeat themselves...the cold weather has settled over Budapest and the holidays are quickly approaching. Time seems to have vanished and I have a hard time imagining a couple of things.First, that I wasn't always a missionary. In reality know I wasn't, there are 23 years of memories filed from before all this that I have very easy access to... But it's still weird to me that my life existed before I went into the MTC.
Second, that I won't always be a missionary. These next four transfers are going to pass, April will come and I will be in [insert post-mission Destination of the Day here]. It's so strange...I won't always be in Hungary, doing what I am now.
Threesomeness
I don't like em, but they sem to like me!
My fourth threesome has started off wonderfully well. Sister Adams is in the group between Waldie and I from the MTC so she knew both of us before we came and never had any hope or thought that she would get to serve with either of us. Isn't Fate serendipitous?
The quotes that come from threesomes and the stories that define missions are definetly always greater in number with that extra sister. Don't ask me how it works, but it does.
There is lots of laughing and lots of Fun, and I am dearly grateful for it. The Work goes so much easier when we're having FUN. Still focused on our purpose but recieving a greater measure of Joy because of the Fun. It is awesome.
In closing...
I hope you are all safe, happy, well and warm. It is weird to me that I haven't been able to talk to all of you in over a year... I am experiencing another phase of being great at writing letters and terrible at sending them-if you feel neglected don't hesitate to drop me a note to tell me so!
I love you all very much.
