| Love you Elder! |
Congratulations on this big step in your life. You are going to be a fabulous missionary! Today at your "farewell" you gave one of the most emotional talks I have ever heard. Your conviction for the gospel was evident as you proclaimed your beliefs to a large crowd of your loved ones.
Stace, you will never know how much you have impacted my life, and for the better. I remember you when you first moved into the ward, you had dark hair and to all us girls who had grown up with the other boys you were like an exotic bird. It took me a long time to really feel comfortable here, and you helped so much. A couple summers ago you, Brig and Lex kinda took me in. We did so many things! From bonfires to cabin nights it seemed like you were always inviting me somewhere. Because of that summer I changed my life around, I really came out of my shell. Thank you for teaching me how to be accepting of everyone and how to be a true friend. That's what you are, you are a true and amazing friend. I owe so much to you and your love and kindness. Thank you so so very much for always being someone I can talk to. You really are someone that I feel understands some of my struggles. Thank you for helping me through them and never judging me.
Now, just like I told Nick, remember as you are going on your mission, that you are a Son of our Heavenly Father, and he loves you. You have made some great decisions in your life and I believe that with the time you have left you will continue to make great decisions. However, the devil is a cunning man and will do what ever it takes to bring you down. DON'T LET HIM! You are too great a person and we need people like you to proclaim the good word of the gospel.
Stacy you are going to have an amazing two years. There is so much to look forward to. The Lord loves you, your family loves you, I and many other people love you. Now is the time to go and do the work.
All my love, Maegan
