Sunday

I can't believe what an emotional mess I am! On Sunday I got released from my calling in Young Women's, I was the second counselor for two months. Yes, a very small amount of time. But I have never learned and loved so much in such a short time. I didn't know any of the young women when I came in and knew only a few of the leaders (except one Jenna, she has been my neighbor and very good friend for the last 3 years +). I feel I just got to know the girls and understand my calling when I have to give it back and say goodbye. I have never felt such a sadness when I was released from my calling (yes, already tears are falling!)- I know that it was called of God and I was supposed to be there, even if it was for two months. I wish I can take you all with me and grateful for all the wonderful memories.

I am so excited to go home and be with my family in Oregon, but I am going to miss this ward, specially the MOST WONDERFUL women in it. I can't say enough. I will always keep a part of you in the most dear place of my heart. Thank you so much!

Diane,
You will be greatly missed, I'm sure of that. You brought tears to my eyes, as I was reading this. It'll be so great to be home with lots of family around!

We are really going to miss you guys, Diane. It broke my heart when they released you yesterday, not just because I'll miss you in YW but also because it made it more real in my head that you guys are leaving. It'll be a good change for you though and I'm sure you will have a great ward and make friends with amazing women!

Amen and well said! I couldn't agree more. Although a wonderful ward is waiting for you in Oregon, NOTHING can replace the bond of the women in the Coronado ward. I'm still pretty homesick. :)

We are going to miss YOU! The girls are really sad that you're leaving - and so am I!

Seriously, you're such an amazing person and so talented. I told John that he should not-so-secretly tell someone in your new ward that you belong in Young Womens. You're a natural mentor to teenage girls...

Thanks for all that you did in YW and all that you are as a person....

I cried while reading it because I am still sad about being released... YW is the best and we have such awesome girls (and leaders!)

Living by your family will be awesome. Just too bad you're leaving when the weather is perfect in Vegas.. We will really miss you guys!
