I have recently obtained a mission call to Ukraine. I am super excited about learning a new language and meeting lots of new people, but I am sad that I only have two weeks left of school here at BYU. I have a lot of friends here at BYU and they are all super kind. I have learned a lot about myself as a person from the people I have met, and I have especially learned a lot about myself from a very important person that I have met here. She really has influenced me in many ways that will help me in my future. She is very kind, pretty, considerate, willing to listen to what I have to say, she is an easy-going person, she is sweet, she is spiritually astounding, she is also very charitable, and humble. She can make friends with anyone, she is in a way the most amazing person I have met. I will especially miss her the most. But I will also miss all of my roommates and friends. I have had a blast playing Ultimate Frisbee with everyone and going to places with everyone and talking to everyone till ridiculous hours of the night. I am going to miss the fact that I can play games with people when I have free time, and the fact that I won't be able to go to big events such as football games and basketball games with all of my friends. I will not be able to wake up and see all of my great friends and ask them how they are doing, instead I will have to call them up and ask how life has been that way. I will miss the idea of waking up and looking at the mountains every morning.
I will especially miss all of my great friends, they have made me a better person and I hope that some day I can see them all again and talk to them about how life has been. I just hope that someday I come to find friends as good as the ones I now have, and that I will be able to keep all of the friends I have now, and that someday I will once again see all of my many friends and that I will be able to recount everything that I have done and ask them what it is that has happened to them over the last 2 years. I just wish that I could see all of my friends everyday as I do now, and that I could experience the great joy I have when I am with them. I truly will miss the spirituality of the environment here at BYU, especially at all of the devotionals that I have been to. I hope that someday I will be able to recount all of this time as the greatest semester of college that I have ever had. I don't know what I would do if I had not come to BYU and met the people I have. If I had not had these great adventures with my amazing friends, then I would be devastated, I have gone to movies and activities with some many people that I have come to find out how my individual person should be and how I wish to be in my future. I hope to one day come to realize that this has been my favorite time of college life. I want to remember going to the Y and hiking up it, I want to remember my first kiss, I want to remember going to parties with people at their homes, as well as spending the night at people's homes, and staying up late doing silly things like walking around campus with great people, or even going around and thinking on my own about what my life has become. I will miss everything, but someday I will see all of the people that I have met here at BYU, just as it says in the song "God Be With You Till We Meet Again", that "God be with you till we meet again.... with his sheep securely fold you." I hope that some day that I at least will be able to see all of my friends at God's judgement bar and in the great and everlasting eternity in the Glory of God's presence. I love the Gospel and I hope to bring people unto the truth of its being. And I hope that all of my friends will keep to the Gospel principles, and that someday I will see them again in the Gospel. I endear to know that someday all of the people I have come to know and have had to leave behind, I will see again and it will be a joyous reunion, just as it was for Alma when he saw his brethren, the Sons of Mosiah, and that I will feel the love for all of my friends and family as I do now, and that it will be as if I had never left anyone behind ever. I love the Atonement and how it helps us through all of the hard times in our lives, even the times when we just feel sad to leave behind our friends.
