70th Ward

Kk, so don't get me wrong, I AM FREAKING STOOOKED OUT OF MY MIND TO GO TO BELGIUM. like more than you could know. but i am super scared about this semester ending and going home to Washington. Life just feels sooo right now. School is going well, I love being on campus, practicing in the HFAC, and mostly i LOVEEEEE my ward. I've met sooooooo many amazing people and made so many friends,and it scares me to have to leave. If i could have it my way, I would go home, go to Belgium, and then come right back here to my appartment, to my ward, to my friends. I just feel like four more weeks isn't enough. And as worn out as I am from school and stuff, I almost wish that time would just slow down and/or STOP. Change scares me. Always has, always will. And it's kinda ironic actually, cause obviously i needed my life to change to get me to where I am. But life's just been sooo good lately. Especially in the ward and with friends. Take yesteday and today for example... Yesterday was pretty uneventful until about 5:30. My ward had a game of Ultimate planned at the field across the street from the church. That was bomb. We played for like two hours. Then I went home and ran into Natalie and Jackie on their way to the gym. I decided to join them. So we went and worked out. After that we decided to jump into the Branbury pool with all our clothes on. We swam and laughed and played. It was suchhh a good night. It was one of those nights that made me realize, "oh, THAT'S why i'm here." It was sooo fun. Then today we had a scripture breakfast, then church, home teaching, prez meeting, which were all phenominal. But, after the meeting, me, Natalie, Sara, and Cho just talked and LAUGHED for a good two hours. It was soooooooo fun! It was hilarious. I was like peeing my pants. We talked about stupid boys, fangs, biting, spiders, bugs in general, mish work, friends, actors, you name it. haha oh my stars. Sooo funny. Then i went home for like half an hour til war prayer. Then went over to Jackie and Natalie's to play games slash just hang out with them, Brian, and Ray. I just love where I'm at in life. I love school. I love my ward. I love my friends (who are about an average of 23 btw, weird? haha). But its so wonderful. I will be eternally grateful for my many wonderful experiences this year. It was exactly what and who I needed in my life. Amazing. I don't know how he does it, but he never disappoints :] I love my life. The church is true. One more month to live it up to the fullest. ready, set, GO!
Love, Pono Santos
