Memories...

I spent the better part of New Years Day cleaning/organizing our STUFF!

And we have a LOT of it...

As I was cleaning off the book shelf I came across our Missionary Planners. Mine and Andrew's. Which of course I couldn't just pass by. I started looking though... which brought a flood of memories!

I think about people from my mission often... my mission president, fellow missionaries, companions, ward members, investigators, random people on the street...etc.

I miss them. I love them.

Anyway, I had so much fun looking through the days, the weeks, the transfers... ahhh... memories! There were good days, bad days, and mostly days filled with miracles and blessings.

I love to read the little notes I had written... the first one I opened... one day in October of 2007, I was in Fort Collins, and we went on splits with the Loveland Sisters. Sister Prince stayed in FC with Sister Bunk, I went to LL with Sister Lima. Notes: Tracted 3 doors... S. Lima = Amazing! Little did I know shortly thereafter I had the blessing and opportunity to be Sister Lima's companion in Loveland!

After a while I got back on track... and organized them by transfer! If was fun to look at them like this.. progressively more colorful and worn! The edges dirty and torn from daily and hourly use... our missionary lifeline perhaps!

I present to you... my planners!

 I kept pictures on the backs of my planners... to remind me of those I love. 

(Many of my pics were of Sophie! She was born while I was out! She did and always will hold a special place in my heart! I couldn't wait to meet her!)

When they were all good an organized I placed them in this box that I had gotten at Michaels. Mine are spine up, Andrew's spine down... both in chronological order!

In just 6 short days it will be the 3rd anniversary of my coming home. Maybe on that day I will share more of those "little notes" from my planners!

How I loved Colorado!

CDNM!
