She's home!

Kelly (my best friend that converted me), came home from her mission Wednesday. One week after she left for her mission. She's home because of medical reasons. She only spent 6 days in the MTC, I hated to see her come home because she was so excited to go and would have made an incredible missionary but I also don't like to see my best friend be in pain and suffering.
Tonight, I had dinner at her house with her parents and the missionaries. The missionaries left us with a message; to set goals. And they want to see them on Sunday at church.
I have to make a decision, go to part of church Sunday or don't go at all? I'll probably go for just Sacrament, but I want to stay for the whole thing! Except, it's my grandma's 60th (I think) birthday and they are having a surprise birthday party for her an hour and a half away, at 1 which church normally ends.

A Little About Me!

Where do I start? Lets start with a little bit about myself. I'm 19, I was baptized a little over a week ago. It's the best decision of my life. My best friend converted me, 4 days after I was baptized she left for her mission. These are the first 5 days we've ever gone not talking to each other at least once in the 10 years we've know each other. It's hard, but I know it's for the best. Only 542 days until she can come home! I can't wait for her to come home so we can go to the temple together! I want the first time I go to be with her because it doesn't feel right without her, but I don't know if I can wait that extra 6 months for her! I guess we'll see how that turns out!
Kelly's family has pretty much adopted me as their own and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love them like their my own parents. I am the only member in my family so having them there to support me has been a great blessing.
