2 Year Anniversary

For anyone who has known me for a while knows that I'm a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and that I was baptized exactly two years ago today. It's been a crazy two years but I've loved every minute of it. Even the day I was baptized was crazy. Lake City meets at 1PM every other year and two years ago was one of the years they met at that time, so that meant getting out of church at 4PM long enough to go home for maybe two hours just to come back to the stake center for my baptism at 7PM.

 My missionaries have been two of my absolute favorite people. They taught me so much in the few times we met in the weeks prior to my baptism. Two years later, I still can remember the lessons we went over and the explanations that Elders Strange and Cracroft gave me to my questions. I couldn't have asked for a better set of missionaries to teach me. ♥

I can't help but smile when I see the pictures of that day and remember everything that's happened since that day. I've talked to missionaries about Elders Strange and Cracroft and they've had nothing to say but absolutely wonderful things about them. I must say I agree with them -- my missionaries were amazing. And they're amazing people in general. They've given me something that no one else has given me -- the chance to learn the truth and be happy and I'm so grateful for that.

I consider myself to be lucky in that I had the chance to see my missionaries for a while after I was baptized (Strange left first and Cracroft was in Lake City forever) but I look at my boyfriend now and he's already lost the missionary who did his confirmation (he was confirmed the 12th) since Elder Penrod's going home and I think Elder Burgess (Burgess baptized him on the 5th) got transferred. I would have absolutely hated losing both of my missionaries in the same transfer meeting. I'm also lucky in that I have both of my missionaries on Facebook and have the ability to write them whenever I miss them too much. Since the boyfriend doesn't use Facebook, he doesn't get that ability. I would go crazy if I couldn't be able to talk to my missionaries or any of the other amazing missionaries I've meet since joining the LDS church.
