Goodbye's

Goodbye is one of the hardest words for me to say. And with meeting Mormon Missionaries you can be saying goodbye could happen every transfer. This week I say goodbye to one of the final original missionaries that has helped me become who I am today. Elder Fierros is finding out later tonight which area he will be transferred to. Usually the missionaries do not find out until Sunday night, but the area President called him yesterday to let him know he will be transferring and training a new missionary. So yesterday Elder Fierros came over to break the bad news in person. I wish him nothing but the best in the future, and I am so lucky we had 4 months together. You were inspirational and such a great person. I am honored to have been one of your first families to really get to know while on your mission, and I am so happy to be talking to your sister Rubi and helping her know you have been in great hands. I will never forget discussing the spirit, and special verses in the Book of Mormon. I will forever be grateful when looking at my home and seeing everything you helped paint, set up or move around. Your belly is more full and maybe a little more round from my cooking, and my heart has grown immensely. I know coming into the LDS faith and finding my way was in part to you and I am so happy to know you.
