I GET TO KEEP BOTH KIMS!

Soooooooooo I spent the first three hours of PDay driving sisters to and from the ferry and then the next hour or so typing transfer information with the Assistants SO I am trying my best to put at least some detail in this email, especially because Christl Bradley fully called me out on never actually writing a real email though I promise to every week :) 

What made it even better this week was ALL MY LOVES from Kelowna YSA and Victoria YSA came to Vancouver for a conference! Mostly it felt like a high school reunion and all of us missionaries were real out of our comfort zones running around with  music on at dinner and stuff BUT seeing the people that have made this past year and a half the greatest was so so so so good. Like, so good. I honestly think I am the luckiest missionary of all missionaries to have served with these people in such incredible places. 

Speaking of which, shout out to Ellie Bissett for making me cry.

I haven't seen her since I left the island, but we had a little moment at dinner in which she looked at me and said, "I don't really know cause I haven't served, but I feel like you've had a really sweet mission." And I said, 'Yeah." And then I got all teary. Because I totally have. And now Sister Seiter is sitting next to me (friends since high school graduation and serving together) and I'm about to send her home tomorrow and I got to see ROSA this weekend (recent convert from Surrey Spanish over a year ago) and I JUST AM OVERWHELMED with how much all of this means to me. How much I don't want to step away from this world that's become everything to me. My heart, my mind, my strength in every aspect has gone into the people here and I am crazy grateful.

Don't worry though team, I still have another transfer! The other highlight from conference was the fact that we and the Elders took a solid 20 or so of the YSA downtown with us to hand out Book of Mormons and I can't even tell you how funny it was to walk into the Skytrain station with an absolute gang of very determined, very frightened Mormon kids ready to hit the streets. Also, I lost both Kims. For a very long time. But all is well now.

Other news from this week includes the fact that President Wong made us pause interviews twice, once to buy him (and cook for him) Korean instant noodles, the other to buy frosties. I love him.

Here are pictures of people and places that I love including Thanksgiving Dinner, Stanley Park, and reunions:

I LOVE YOU MUCH!
