Kaelynn's Mission Return, September 8, 2010
Kaelynn returned home! She looks great, she had a wonderful experience and is ready to move on. We had a lovely dinner with many family members that night. Also, Andrea and Chris called her. Thanks to everyone for making it a great day. First day back started well--we started the day with a three mile run and then scripture study.

3 September 2010
So I just found out the libraries will be closed on Monday and Tuesday morning I have to go to the mission home first thing because Sister Thomas is picking up a greenie. Long story short, I won't be able to email after today, so here it is, my FINAL EMAIL from the mission field. Craziness.
The Boston Temple was absolutely wonderful. I left feeling very reassured. I still have only a few vague ideas about what to do with my life, but I know that if I stick with those the rest will be given to me in God's time. I have a lot of faith and hope and excitement about my post-mission life. The last few days have been very emotional. I go from one extreme to the other very quickly. Either it's "I can't stand this anymore, get me on the plane this second" or I feel as sad and depressed as if someone just died. Someone is dying! My mission is dying! I'm leaving these people that I love so much. But such is life. Change is good.
Mostly I'm just grateful. Grateful for this whole experience. I'm so blessed to have been here.
See you very soon. Love,
Sister Monson (until Wednesday)
