9. Something I am proud of in the last few days

This one is easy. It's been constantly on my mind for the last while, and sometimes I am overwhelmed at how happy it makes me. I am SO proud of all my friends who are on missions. In the past 2 weeks, three of my friends from last year (the San Jose boys) left on their missions. And each one of them is going to be such a solid missionary. Lots of my friends from home are already on their missions, or leaving soon too. I just think about how much temptation they've gone through their whole lives, and it's such a blessing that they've made it this far. I feel like boys have it so hard. So much is attacking them, but these guys are prepared. They are going to be awesome missionaries. I am so blessed to know such incredible people. I get so much strength from their letters, it's amazing how fast they are learning and growing. Missionaries are the very best. I am proud of them. And now I'm emotional, which means I'd better get off of here before I start writing in verse or something.
