Such a cliche question, I'm aware. It's something I've been thinking about recently, and more often. We all miss the things we have yet to experience. We all desire things that seem, for at least a time, unreachable. And yet, we all go about acting as if we don't really want or need them, and as if we are all incredibly independent as to not care. I feel the longing we all pretend we don't have, when I see couples fall in love in the movies, or read about it in my books, or when I have the chance to watch it happen in this lovely realm we call reality. It fascinates me to witness the daily excitement that is <i>real</i>. The facial expressions that butterfly churning causes overwhelms me with happiness for those people that are feeling it! How wonderfully blessed they are to have such an experience.<br />
<br />
<div>
Long story short: This post is my confession that I do want that. I want the sappy romance. I want a family. I want the growth that can only come with an eternal companion by my side. Unfortunately, I have yet to receive that blessing. This may come off as desperate, if you interpret it as so, you are very much mistaken. I will be patient, and I will do my part while I wait. It's only recently that I've realized I must cope with the fact that I need to be humble. Because, I prayed and asked God to take this desire away from me, that is, until the time to actually have it arrived. He chuckled and answered "No way, my dear." He thinks he so funny...<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
So until that blessing comes, dear friends, I will live happily and vicariously through you, the movies, and my books.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Goodnight.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One time, we did this intense hike called Lady Mountain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we finished, I felt that I could take on anything that life brought on to me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because - I can. Obviously.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, my friend Michael wrote this cool article and it ended up in the paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You should read it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You should also look at our fly photographs.</div>

Things that people post on facebook, twitter, instagram, etc social media I write in a little pocket size journal. Or on here. Or both. I just figure: It's nice to disclose things, and I consider myself a fairly open person. But posting my life for whoever to read it... I still haven't decided where I quite draw the line on that. I'll spill my life in person. Here you can get tidbits. Enjoy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight's disclosure:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am playing a video game in my head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You raise your hand for a password to your online test: I blow you up with a red laser.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we're not friends.<br />
<br />
<br />
Good news: there is half a chimichanga, fries, and a chocolate shake awaiting me at home.</div>

SPIDER</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is a spider inside my head</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Who weaves a strange and woundrous web</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of silken threads and silver strings</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To catch all sorts of flying things</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like crumbs of thoughts and bits of smiles</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And specks of dried up tears</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And dust of dreams that catch and cling</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For years and years and years.....</div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Personal Narrative</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>After
reading the article on personal narratives, brainstorming, writing
and rewriting, I still sit here at a blank. Watching the all-nostalgic “The
Cosby Show”, eating milk chocolate orange sticks, at the side of my journal, scrolling
through Instagram, sitting on the couch while my roommate cooks dinner in the
other room. I search for every possibility of procrastination, deeming it as
“inspiration”. I could write about my plans for after graduation and the fact
that I have no idea what I really want to do, just that I’ve applied for the
Teach for America program - and who knows what will come of that. I could write
about my sister, which is what I started with in the first place. I could write
about the attractive man that I met over Thanks-Giving, who gave
me a small chance at a cuddling fling and I denied him it. He didn’t ask for my phone
number, or on a date, and I had only known him for four days – three strikes, you’re out! I
could write about music, or rock climbing, or my love for reading. I could
write about my mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could
write about my experience of living on my own, officially, for the first time, or how difficult it was to learn a new language. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What
should I write about? What is something worth sharing? (Since, this will be
shared.) Something that I have a passion for, and care a lot about, I suppose.
I have lots of passions, and care for lots of things, so that should be easy,
right? I have a journal and blog full of experiences, and a notebook full of
things I love. Ranging from art to food, religion to education, books to movies, being outdoors to interpersonal relationships. Just pick one! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>I
guess this is what they call “writers block”. Isn’t brainstorming suppose to
help?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>What
is it about indecision, and that it seems to happen only to ourselves, and to
no one else? I use to be one of those people that had a plan, and never moved
from that plan. It was: go to college, get a degree, find a job, settle down,
and live the rest of my life quietly content. Simple and happy. However, lately, that plan
is less and less appealing. The more I review it, the more I want to cringe at
the thought of settling down in one place so abruptly! Maybe the part of life that teenagers go through after high school
of “finding yourself” and having a desire to get out and explore, was somehow
delayed in my genetic make up and that's why it's hitting me now. Imagine that! A
twenty-four-year-old, graduating in May, already having traveled to Europe,
lived in Central America and learned a second language, wanting to “find herself”
rather than find a job in her local school district. I would rather go
somewhere different, and experience something new. I feel that I have reached
the top of the totem pole in what St. George has to offer me, and I just feel
an inner irking to get out - knowing that there is nothing that holds me here, that
I’m at the only point in my life when I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">can</i>
be selfish - it makes me ponder:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>why
stay here? Why not go somewhere new and gain experience? That is what the Teach
for America program offers, it’s in the field of education, therefore I would
still get to teach and work with children – something I’ve always wanted! That
part of the plan has not changed, and does not make me cringe. So, why not go?
What would be holding me back? Nothing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Then
there’s my sister, who did not even finish her first semester of college,
barely graduated high school, has no goals, no ambitions, and no plans. Yet,
there she stands, perfectly happy with no progression. She has so much
potential! Either she doesn’t want to see it, or she is just blind in ignorance.
In which case, the question arises, is ignorance truly bliss? Perhaps, she is
scared. But, scared of what? Of failure? I am. Aren’t we all? What makes a
person charge into the arena despite the inner terror?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Relationships.
Another form of indecision. Does watching my sister make dumb decisions, make
me want to play more “hard to get”? This attractive male, why not just
let myself have a nonsense weekend fling? Why this “three strike” system? Is it
so that boys learn that I won’t put up with their immaturity, and that they should
treat me with respect? Or, is it to protect myself from the pain I see her go
through by putting up a wall? I’d like to think it’s not the latter. I’d like to picture myself confident.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Life is weird. What makes us who we are?
What makes us decide to do the things we do? More importantly, what makes a
person decide what to write about in a personal narrative? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> People are interesting;
they have so many opinions, thoughts, and experiences that make them who they
are. How are we to say that we really know someone? Or even, that we really know ourselves? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>My
roommate has long since finished her supper. The Cosby Show continues. My
orange sticks are half gone, my journal remains unopened, and Instagram… well,
it’s still there. I sit here wondering, “How many others have had the same
idea as me in writing their personal narrative?” and I begin typing, “After
reading the article on personal narratives…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Remember how I have literary craves?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, that happens with music too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I go through phases where I quite literally feel a thirst, or hunger (if you will), for literature. Books upon mounds of books is what I want inside my room, with a blanket, and a lamp, and nothing else! I can disappear from this world for hours at a time and be perfectly content. Historical fiction is what I seem to be preferring lately. But anything would satisfy me, really. Prose, Poetry, Fiction, Non-fiction, Fantasy, Realistic, Biography, Children, Adult, whatever - I just want literature to consume.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so it goes with music. I have a hankering for new music! ANY kind! Just new. With a full tank of gas, and a long drive to some aesthetic vista. Lately, I have The Paper Kites to thank for that quench of my appetency.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here, have a taste.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">Dear Sister Bringhurst,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I cannot tell you how happy I am that you have chosen to serve a mission!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Remember how our dear friend Beau said,</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">"The way you live towards others and the kind of person you become are what is most important. We all need to give and grow and there are many different ways we can do that. A mission is one - a difficult, strenuous, interesting, wonderful one, but only one. You could ask yourself, why shouldn't I go? What else would I do? I certainly don't think you would ever regret going. I do not. You should ask Danni Springer."</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">So here you are.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Reading danniGirl.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">And here is my answer.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">My dear friend Valerie Owens and I always talked about serving missions in high school, and knew we would one day go. It was interesting because as we graduated and started growing up in college and things, we decided that maybe that option isn't always open when school, dating, and potential marriage options come along. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">But guess what -</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">it is!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Val served in Russia!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">And I stayed at school for a while.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Finishing my degree.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Preparing to travel to Mexico to teach.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Lots of good things were happening! And I knew that if I didn't get married before I graduated, I would serve a mission. But until then, I was going to do good in other ways!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">There is a saying, and it goes:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">"If you tell God your plans, He will show you who really makes them."</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">So one day, driving home from church after, a thought came to mind. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">"Teaching and serving in Mexico is good. But teaching the Gospel and serving where I call you is better."</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I kind of laughed. Because... I don't really know why. Haha! But when I first heard that, I laughed.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Then, I felt it was true, and knew it was what I needed to do.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Let me tell you - it interrupted a lot of things. It was NOT convenient.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">AT ALL!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">It did help a lot of other things make sense, though.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Like how Mexico wasn't organizing itself as smoothly as I would have hoped.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">The ending of a relationship a week prior - the which of I had no idea why I was breaking it off. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Just going off the feeling that it wasn't right.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">I would miss a year and a half of my nephew's little life. And maybe he wouldn't remember me.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I put my academic and music scholarships on hold.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I deferred the Elementary Education Program with hope that when I got back they would still have room for me.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">Thankfully, my job was never a problem.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">As I look back, I'm so very grateful that I went on a mission when I did! If I would have first finished school, I don't</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;"> know if I ever would have gone. I would have searched for a job and progression in my career and other life goals. A mission wouldn't have fit in with it all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">As Beau said, I do not regret going.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 16px;">I am so glad that I did.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I would not trade it for anything.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">The goals I have now, and the things I spend my time doing, are so different!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">My motivations and reasons for doing or not doing certain things are different.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">A mission changes everything!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">And I am so grateful for that.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">By living what I learned on the mission, it has made my life so much fuller than it would have otherwise been!</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">"You learn things you didn't think you would learn. And you don't learn all the things you thought you would learn." - Beau (the words of a good man once again.)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">It's truth.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I learned so much.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Most of which I didn't expect to learn.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I know, most of all, that what they say about being "called to where the people need you" is not true.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I certainly was called to where I needed the people. Those that I taught, taught me the most. Every gospel principle and primary answer you learn in church - the mission is where you really come to know it. And that comes through the people you meet and grow to love.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">God needed me to know some things. So He sent me to El Salvador, where I met the only people on earth that could actually help me come to know them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">This mission prepared me to come home. Which sounds ridiculous.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">But it's true.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">The experiences I had on the mission have helped me be prepared and know how to cope through some of the experiences I have had since I've been home.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I trust more in God - we have a deeper more developed relationship.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I know now how truly well He knows me.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I laugh at the witty things He does.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">And He chuckles at the dumb things I do.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">I learned the worth of a soul. Not just that of others, but of mine as well.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">Anne.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">You will be great.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">With your humor and energy, you will do great things on the mission.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">To where ever you're called - that's where you're suppose to be.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">God will make even greater things of you there.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
