Fort Lauderdale, FL. Haitian Creole speaking.
I guessed Florida on the guessing sheet.
I cried when he opened it, even though I promised him and myself that I wouldn't. So I buried my face in Whitney's shoulder so nobody could see.
I wasn't crying tears of sadness, though. I call them my tears of overwhelming emotion. They have no definition. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
We didn't get to talk like he said we would after everyone left.
I know it's not about me. I'm not thinking that way at all. In fact, I'm not even sad. I guess I'm just letting it sink in very slowly that he's going to be gone. And I couldn't be more happy for him.
Suzie, I'm so proud of him. His determination amazes me. He's got the strongest testimony and he bears it in a way that just makes you happy about the gospel. He's so caring about people individually, which is going to make him an even more fantastic missionary. He's going to change lives. He's going to save souls. He's the most incredible young man I've ever met.
I can't wait to continue supporting him on this journey.
Congratulations to dear Gregory. May the next 2 years be the best.
YAYYYYYY GREG!!!! Whatta Champ! I can't believe you guessed it too, you crazy thing. Oh Shanelle that is so great! :)You've got yourself a bit of a missionary there lovey. It's the worst, but the absolute greatest thing. Just call me whenever you need anything:)
ReplyDeleteTears of overwhelming emotion. I know exactly what you mean. Like a Tiff's wedding dinner? We just needed some tears.
Today I:
Didn't go to bed till 5. And even then it was during a movie on our roof. There are some good kids out here. We have fun.
I love you!
I would just like to say that if I could press a like button I would. Also, you really need to communicate better. I mean, I didn't even know half of this stuff and it is about me. Also just your whole new blog is great, and I don't know why you were hiding it from me because at least 3 of the 12 posts so far are about me. That is 25%.
