What's up party people!! We are finally back in Branson after our international trips! It has been a blast seeing everyone from the other trips, but this week has really been hard. You see, this is the week that my church is in Costa Rica, which is where I went last year. It is hard for me to be here in Branson when I could be back in San Jose seeing my family I made there last year. I can't help but think of them everyday. In class, I was thinking and feeling emotional because I wasn't sure if I would ever see them again, but then I had this realization. Even if I never see them here on Earth, it's okay, because I know I will see them in Heaven one day again. The reunion here on Earth would be amazing, and I genuinely hope it happens, but even if not, the reunion in Heaven will be even better. That is the thing that is so cool about Christ. When we are saved, even the people that we have had just brief conversations with will matter in Heaven. We will be reunited with all our family members who have passed, friends, and the people all over the world. Even though I know I have a mission here on Earth for now, I cannot wait for the day when I am reunited in Heaven with all my people. The week has been hard, and I would much rather be in Costa Rica than in Branson, MO right now, but I know one day I will see them again. Although I didn't have my reunion with those people, having a family reunion with my Link family this week has been incredible. I missed them, to say the least.
