Missing my Missionaries

So, tonight (technically yesterday since it's almost 4am) I had to say two goodbyes.

I had to say goodbye to Sister Hill and Sister Green.

Sister Hill was one half of my original set of missionaries and Sister Green was one of the most amazing ones since.

Before these goodbyes I had to say goodbye to the other half of my set of originals, Sister Towers, and another one of the most amazing ones sine I was baptized, Sister Timothy.

I love all of these wonderful missionaries beyond words.

Heavenly Father knew what He was doing when He sent me Sister Hill and Sister Towers when I was an investigator. They are literally the only combination of people who could calm me down enough to let a stranger dunk me under water in front of other strangers.

They were a great pair... Sister Towers always had (and still has) a ton of sass to match mine and she is very direct and firm in what she has to say and loudly voices her opinions... She was kinda like the toned down missionary version of me... And now she is the much less toned down Australian returned missionary version of me. (who I happen to love and appreciate)

Then, there is Sister Hill. She was always the more calm one (but you best believe this girl has some sass) she always stuck to what she said firmly but she wasn't nearly as in your face as Sister Towers. She is a gentle soul and I love her so much! The combination of the two of them was like seeing how the two different personalities I have could be if I chose to convert to the LDS religion.

(Spoiler Alert ⚠ I converted)

They have literally been there for me without judgment since day one.

I love them beyond words and it is so sad that they are back home! (Well Sister Hill leaves later today) I miss them so much!

Sister Timothy was one of the next missionaries who was sent to help me on my journey, and let me tell you... This girl is fantastic. I adjusted to her quite easily. The sense of humor this girl has is great. She's awesome. She's got sass too... Seems like a lot of the sisters do lol. She loved picking on Socks as much as I do. I love Sister Timothy to pieces.

Then came Sister Green. Another amazing choice on behalf of Heavenly Father. One of the first things this crazy girl did was grab my kitten (the skittish one of course) and after she was already holding him she asked if it was okay for her to hold him. At that point I knew we would get along well. I cannot even tell you the number of times my cats tried to go home with her and Sister Timothy. Sister Green is quiet but once again this girl has a bit of sass when provoked. I love her so much!

I am so sad that I have had to say goodbye to these wonderful missionaries. They have been there to support me no questions asked... Okay maybe just the ones about am I reading my scriptures and how are my prayers going lol.

I wish these girls the best in everything they do and I know Heavenly Father will bless them immensely.

Y'all are family now, so you're kinda stuck with me.

I love these missionaries so very much, and even though I am saddened to say goodbye to them, I am also excited to get to know the rest of the missionaries Heavenly Father sends my way.

I seem to be the person they send the missionaries to in order to help break them in because we have such a fun time in our meetings.

I am so blessed.
