Winding down

It's that time in a mission, when you know you will "go home", but you will miss the people, the schedule, the climate, the ocean, the birds, the trees and shrubs, the fruit and the people(again).  Everyday, I find myself saying, "I'm going to miss that".  My testimony has grown so much.   My prayers have reached deep into my soul, pouring out to my Father in Heaven.  My companion is the handsomest, honest, seeking, person I know and want to spend eternity with.  He understands me better, and I, him.  This is the best way to truly learn more about each other, and about our Savior.  We went through some vexing trials at first, me, learning how to live with someone 24/7.  With the Lord as our partner, this trio overcame Satan's jabs, and became stronger.  We pray we will continue this mission, and endure to the end.  Me kealoha pumehana a pauole!
