Familia!

I just love you all! It was so fun to skype and talk/see you all. Mandy and Rex, thanks for joining :) I wasn't expecting that so it was really cool to hear from you both :) Rad, I didn't get to talk to you a whole lot, but it was good to hear your DEEP voice. Oh my goodness. You are just growing up still!! Riann, so excited to live with you girl :) Just like old times, right!? It is going to be fun haha. And mom and dad!! You two are precious!! Thank you for everything!! (BTW--just a little side note haha, we were in a lesson once with Charlene and Garland and I told them that they are precious and Charlene said she didn't like that word, so I called them cute and she said that didn't fit her age, so now I am only allowed to say that they are awesome haha..so if the word cute or precious offends you, I am sorry :) --for dad I will just stick with the word tiny )

Oh man! So yes. I love the mission. I am so sorry, I really did have a lot of good stories and a lot of things to say but then it actually happened and my mind went blank. I just get so excited to see and talk to you that that one hour is enough to look at you all and just smile :) I am grateful for each one of you. You each have helped refine me and my testimony through your individual experiences and the people you are now. I am so grateful for the love and support you give me. I love you so much and I am sorry that I was an emotional wreck towards the end, it is just amazing at how much the Atonement has changed who I am. I am so grateful to be on a mission, I will never be able to repay Heavenly Father for this experience that I am having. It is a blessing.

Have a wonderful week! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIANN!! Make it the best one yet! Love you girl :)

Love, Hermana Hamblin
