I pretty much love her. How did I meet her? Well, she went to Africa with me last Summer. We were meant to be friends from the start. On the airplane, she sat next to me. Then she fell asleep on me. I thought to myself, "Who is this weird girl sleeping on me?" and we've been friends ever since. I'm glad she broke the barrier. All throughout Africa she listened to me complain, cry, and give my sob stories, as we sat underneath my bed net and ate NICE cookies. She also gave me some of the best advice for the situation I was dealing with at the time.
She is leaving on a mission on Wednesday, and I am so excited for her and this great experience she has ahead of her. She has been looking forward to it for SOOOO long, and I know that she is incredibly prepared for it. In fact, I'd feel confident saying that she's more prepared than most missionaries.
Even in Africa she faithfully read the scriptures, memorized talks and studied preach my gospel.
She is a girl that has it all together, and makes others want to follow her example. She complains rarely, and works constantly. She helped me realize that things will work out and I'll be ok. She made Africa a great experience for me, and I'll miss her. Em: Good luck, I can't wait for the letters. Oh, and don't forget to pack your yam sweatshirt.
BYEEEE MZUNGU!!
