Time flies.....

I find that Valentine's Day make me nostalgic. Not in a romantic, mushy kind of way though. I happened to enter the MTC on Valentine's Day so as of tomorrow it will officially have been 8 (yes EIGHT) years. I can't believe it's been that long already even though in my head that makes sense because I know I've been married 5 going on 6 years and my oldest child is almost 4! My subconcious must be homesick for Germany right now too because I am seriously craving German food of all kinds and am dreaming almost every night about my mission, people I knew or places I went. I find myself echoing Elder Holland in that my mission formed me into who I am today and I am quite certain that there has never been a day where I have not thought about it. I get a little teary just thinking about it right now. I could never put into words how I feel but I am so grateful that I served where I did, with all those wonderful people; companions, DLs, ZLs, members and investigators included. Hooray for missions! The Lord absolutely knows what He's doing!
