HEY!
What
an experience my mission has been for me. Last night was the departing
missionary fireside and it was really strange being the one getting up
and bearing his testimony. I came out and am going home with an Elder
Moala who is Tongan so he gave me a big lei (pronounced lay) to wear.
All the missionaries going home had candy and flower leis around their
necks. It was kind of cool. Elder Moala and I will actually be coming
home to salt lake on the same plane so I'm positive you'll see his
family there tomorrow. It was bittersweet to be sitting in the choir
seats and look out on many people I knew. I saw Joey, Patricia, Buddy,
the Smiths, the Carrs, Montierths,
Sorry I sent that early by accident....anyways
I saw a
lot of people that I've focused all I have and I love them so much. I
don't know where I would be right now if I didn't take that time and
serve other people with all my might mind and strength. It was pretty
cool having some of the people I've helped meet each other. It was really
hard not to hug all of them!...still can't hug girls. I will tomorrow
though! I'll hug Mom first.
It was really weird having a last hour of missionary
work. It was Saturday night. Yesterday was church and then the fireside
and today is Pday and then the dinner at President's house. My last
hour we were at Orizaba park contacting people there. We were headed
back to the car and as we passed this man I really felt like we should
go back and talk to him. He actually really wanted us to talk to him and
he said he noticed that we did a u-turn just to talk to him. He wanted
us to pray for him and we did.
Well there are a lot of people here and I have to get off. I'll see you tomorrow!! LOVE YOU
Elder Gallagher
