je suis missionaire!

I'm now a missionary and I leave for the mtc in an hour or so. Thank you everyone for your love and support, for carving me with your kindness and with your examples. I want to be more because of you. My Mom will update this blog with pictures and bits of letters! A bien tot!

The smallest one

was Madeline

Elder Healy

I was so glad to get this picture of Elder Healy today. He's growing up! I haven't seen him in 16 months, but give it another 18 and we'll be inseparable! Hoorah for soul mates!

RAIN OR SHINE

This was the weekend:

RAIN
BLUEBERRY PANCAKES

AND ALI,

ALI MY BOSOM FRIEND

WHOM I CHERISH FOREVER,

RAIN OR SHINE.

So I finally decided on a missionary bag! It's the perfect size, a unique but conservative enough color, and it reminds me of Madeline--the little precocious and curious French orphan who always makes life adventurous! She has no fear; she's a total leader; and she's humble, like the little child she is. So she's all the things I hope to be in France myself. Thank you Ali for the gift and thank you Marta for the find.

I Love Collaging!

I love putting pictures together with words. I can't stop looking at my vibrant collage. It shows me that I'm on the verge of a simple and lovely rebirth. Don't you adore life? Color? Babies? Home? Books? And beautiful truth shines in it all, witnesses of it all. Ah. Drink it in!

This is My Sacred Duty

My dearest Mother escorted me through: the women the brought me into the world, that chose the gospel while those around her never knew it, who brought me up in light and truth.

My dearest friend and nearest hero, Laurel McConkie.

My dear Elder Healy's family.

Me, enamoured with life.
