Find the GOOD in goodbye







College is seriously flying by.  It seems like just yesterday Melanie, Jill, and I were pulling pranks on our pre mission guy friends and now Jill is going on a mission.  She got to come to RUPERT for a month and she worked with the sugar beets for harvest with Mel.  I didn't get to see her a ton cause I have been super busy but she came down this weekend.  It was so fun to reminisce on the old times and talk about all that is going to happen in the year and a half she will be gone.  We all broke down in tears at least once.  I love our friendship.  We have seen the worst of each other and the best and we love each other for both of them.  Jill is going to be a great missionary.  The people of Peru are lucky to have her!  Even though it's hard for me to say goodbye I know that this is a happy thing.  The work is progressing with the help of missionaries like Jill.  Finding the good in goodbye is difficult but possible.  Luckily I've had lots of practice writing missionaries so we will be just as close ;) I love you Jill!
