Was It A Dream?

Bob wrote right away after we got back. It has been harder for me. I have been heartsick to leave New Zealand. I know that I will probably never get back there or to the wonderful islands that we visited. I will miss many many things but mostly people. I had a friend tell me recently that she wished she had a quarter for every time I spoke of it. I guess it was just like we were gone for a little bit to our friends and family. Maybe I need to let it go. It feels like a glorious dream now and I don't want to let it go. What a tremendous blessing it was for Bob and I to have that opportunity. I am so very grateful to our Heavenly Father. Wow, there is so much I never want to forget. The glorious diverse world that God created for all of us. But most importantly the people all over were so incredible. The wonderful openness and love of the cultures. We will never forget these amazing people and hope these relationships will never change. How our Heavenly Father blesses all of His children and how much very many of them appreciate it. How grateful I was to serve as a Church Service Missionary for the Auckland New Zealand Mission. Wow, that opportunity was so precious to me. Antony being baptized before we left. Serving in the Nursery. Bob's and my special togetherness and unique lifestyle there. Was it only a magical dream?
