Savoring the time

 

I am realizing that no matter how hard I try, I can't stop or even slow down time. I have tried trust you me. And I have tried hard but it somehow wins and I the minutes click by, the hours go away, and I close a day faster than I ever dreamed. So..when it was just the three of us hanging out at home I seized the moment and we headed out to the local Wingers for lunch.

While we visited and talked mission stuff, Tyler gave Kaitlyn some advice, and of course laughter between the both of them filled our small booth we were seated in. As we sat and ate and hung out Brooklyn sent a text saying she was at lunch at school. I replied with this quick selfie and said that we were too! 

This of course then led to a funny conversation with Brooklyn but it also gave her one more picture on her camera roll of Kaitlyn while she was home. Something to maybe help ease her little heart when her bestie heads out on her mission here soon. 

Loving this time with her,

Missionary Momma

Thank you all for being here and for the support you have shown her throughout her time away. I also want to say hello to Elder Garcia who is hopefully able to have good enough wi-fi to join us today in Africa.  When I posed the question to Kaitlyn who she wanted to have speak with her I knew deep down she wanted Brooklyn but I also knew that Brooklyn had told both missionaries that if either of them asked her to talk she would simply not come to church that day at all and she was fine to miss their homecomings. To be able to pull off a small surprise for Kaitlyn today with having B speak just makes my heart smile Tyler conveniently doesn't do the social media thing so she wasn't an option to ask and Christian is in Africa so that wouldn't be an option either. I s...

From: Kaitlyn.Garcia@missionary.org Date: Saturday, January 16, 2021 Subject: I have a new mom Oi todos!It's just little old me, Kaitlyn. Well now it's Sister Garcia ;) I'm officially a missionary, which is so crazy to think about! During the online MTC my Pdays are Saturdays so you can expect an update from me every Saturday for the next 6 weeks. The CTM has been amazing so far! :) If I'm being honest I was super nervous to start and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but I'm so glad I've been able to do my training at home. My schedule that I was sent was all in Brazil time and it said that most of my classes were to start at 8:30am. I don't know if any of you know this, but Brazil is 4 hours ahead of Utah, you can do that math, it was supposed to be early! Luckily it's been changed and now my classes don't start until 9:30am Utah time. They like to keep us busy that's for sure! I already have to memorize and learn cer...
