Not far enough apparently...

Sister Taele and Sister Bergau

Okay I know it's not the best picture on earth, but its the only picture that I can find where the both of them are smiling. As most of you know my sister (Anela) got her mission call to the Carlsbad, California mission and has recently (2 weeks ago) entered into the MTC (Missionary Training Center). With no intention of anything these two girls who have been best friends didn't think they'd be seeing each other for a while.
Until tonight at 9:45(ish)pm Sister Lily Taele opened that big white envelope. As she read the opening she got on to the main part "...you are here by called to serve in the California Anaheim SAMOAN speaking Mission..." my heart sank. All I could think to myself was "great I thought they'd have to wait at least 2 years before seeing each other again". Out of the hundreds of thousands of missions in the WORLD, Sister Taele will be serving just a few hours away from Sister Bergau.
I am more than blessed to have known the wonderful spirit of Sister Taele. She has a remarkable glow that everyone can see. Who would have thought that she'd be serving in California in a SAMOAN speaking mission. I know there's no other way the Lord would have put it. I can't wait to stand in the airport holding a sign that says RETURNED WITH HONOR SISTER BERGAU/ SISTER TAELE. Thank you for encouraging my sister and for keeping a strong hearted testimony about the gospel. I know EVERYONE says this to missionaries "I know you'll do great"...but for real everything will be fine if you put your trust in HIM! You know you have many supporters out there waiting to cheer you on! We all love you and can't wait to see you return with that wonderful honor! "The field is white and ready to harvest"...Keep in mind to be strong but to keep your testimony stronger! Welcome to God's Army Sister Taele!

P.S.
I'm happy you, Nela and Raze won't be in there all at once cause shoot....WE ALL KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN...lol
