From Abby - Now Is The Start Let me just quote A Fine Frenzy real fast  Mission veil is fading  Hey so this is my last email  How does it feel? Strange.  Many many lasts to recount.  Sorry if I seem somber :) I'm really really really going to try to make it normal.. maybe some stats at the end or something (Prob not) This is the view of my morning study last Pday  Ever since I met brother Bretey and he said "You'll know how well you'll study when you go home based on how well you study on Pday" I have LOVED locking in on Pday studies  I love draping scriptures over my knees  We went on a BIG zone hike (*coughs* LEFT the mission again) to bridal veil and tell me why I always underestimate the power of a good walk.  Biggest win of the day was Sister Hethcote asking me for a hug (Because I forgot to tackle hug her how could I)  Zone flic  Born in the O-Zone Bench District and I'll DIE in the O-zone Bench District. One eternal round :) ...

From Abby - TRUUNK FEEST Heyyy Hiii Im so grateful that we'll remember this earth life with vivacity because each day I mourn a bit at all the little memories and nuances that I will forget.  This week was splendid  Im tired but oh so happy  It started with a HAIRCUT I haven't cut my hair since March and yes I'm kinda mourning the three inches that were LOPPED off.. I know that im never having short hair because I already miss the length it was :D  We then cooked all our miles driving up to DI to thrift with the district (worth it)  As I'm rummaging I hear Sister Hutchinsons cute lil voice "Hi!" When I turn around, Im expecting to see her and her comp Sister Tipasa, but who do I see?  SISTER CHRISTIANSEN.  We run up to her and give her BIG surprised hugs, she told us there was an ET (Criminal) and we proceeded to thrift together :) Thrifting/Pday adventures include: -Elder Hess taking ONE step into the thrift shop and discovering a green suit and pants...

From Abby -   "Did you like it when I recited Shakespeare to you?" Heyyy Hiiii, Here I am again typing away with my thumbs  Im currently blessing Sister Atwood because she fished out a charger that fits my keyboard (love her) so I'll be TYPING soon. I feel good about this week  The day of my return date is encroaching at  lightning  speed and im constantly fearing for my life while equally rejoicing in alll that is to come  My phone just notified me that 16 months ago today I entered the mission feild. Crazy. I wonder if we felt similar in the premortal life before we would speed here to earth, have placed on us a veil of forgetfulness, and gain a mortal and fallen body to be tested. This is probably EXACTLY how it felt.  Especially thinking about progression and development.  I think a big reason why missionaries get trunky is because they feel they have progressed as much as they can in this specific setting... Although I disagree with NO p...
