4 Months Down!

It's crazy how much has happened. Gabe is now in Fiji and he's loving it! He was able to call me from the airport on his way over, it was so great to hear from him. It's so weird how after not talking to him for so long he actually seemed like a real person when we were on the phone. His first companion, Elder Cordner and him are having a great time "We tend to get distracted a lot". He said that the Fijians are some of the nicest people he has ever met.

I thought I would forget all the little things about him, but I feel like I remember everything! Sometimes it feels like he was a dream, like I'm here thinking about someone who doesn't actually exist, but then Sunday night rolls around (Monday morning in Fiji) and I get to email him for a few hours.

I finished my first fall season of soccer and I'm in finals week for my classes. I've struggled a lot this first semester of college, especially with Gabriel being gone. I miss being able to talk to him about what I'm struggling with. I guess it's all part of the experience though. 

During soccer season I almost went three months without going to church. It was so hard for me not taking the sacrament every week. His thoughts and experiences helped to keep my testimony strong and I know that this is all happening for a reason. It's so hard being without him, but I'm trying to stay as positive as I can. I know he's growing spiritually and I need to as well.
