So today is the day that we all go home. It is very weird, the emotions that are going through me are of a different variety. If anything being here has made me more grateful. More grateful for our country, the freedoms we have, our government, my family, my friends, the Temple, the sacrament, carpet, dryers, shower curtains, boneless chicken, toilets, etc... I love China. I love the people here. They made this experience one to always cherish. I've never met a more humble loving people in all my life. I love that they go out of their way to go help a stranger. My last picture is of my kids and I. That is why I was here. I love them with all my heart. They were my life for five months and I am going to miss them very much. They taught me more than I would have ever taught them. They taught me patience, how to be silly, how to love. I hope that I can walk away from this experience a better person because they were my friends.
Anyway I get in on Friday at 7 pm. Hopefully all goes well. Thanks so much for always checking out on my life. You guys are the greatest! I'll make sure and update when I get home to tell you how jet-lagged I am :). I love you all! See you on the other side!
Love always, Mandy
