Week 54- Farewell to my forever home

I have been DREEEEADING this email... I'm leaving Stretford! It SUCKS. But I knew it was coming. My time here has come to an end.....

But guess what? BACK TO CHESTERRRRR YESSUUIIRRRREEEEE. With my flippin SISTER OLSON. Why is God so good to me? gosh dang. 

I can't even begin to explain how much this place and these people have changed my life forever. It's really hard to put it into words. My heart is completely full. I have met so many wonderful people and have has so many wonderful experiences but no one has brought me closer to my Savior Jesus Christ than the people I have come to know here. The Stretford ward feels like my home! It felt weird to step outside the doors on Sunday knowing that was the last time. The Parkes and the Stephens are two families that have changed me forever. I wish you could all meet them. You would immediately feel joy because they just reflect the Savior's countenance. I am eternally grateful. 

STRETFORD 4 LIFE 

Alma 26:16 is exactly how I have been feeling. I'm at a loss of words that's basically all i can say. I have never felt such a genuine and real joy stronger than I have here. Yes even more than hawaii!! Sorry Hawaii

Thank you for all of your prayers I feel them so strongly and they have led me to people I love so much. I love all of you!! Keep walking alongside the Savior, he has got your back always. I know it!

Cheeeeeeeers
