Casa, Dolce Casa
Welcome friends, family and people who want to know what is happening in my life. As you will all now know, or will come to know very soon.. (this means while reading this blog post), I, Sister Reising, have officially come home from my mission. Yes. I do know that this may spawn a lot of questions and that is exactly why I made this blog post. I had been on my mission for a little over 7 months and during that time I learned many many things—how to speak Portugues, how to love and serve others, how to live and love everyone through the thick and the thin, and generally just how to be a better person. However, after much prayer, fasting, reading scriptures, talking to my mission president, everything.. I felt like it was just my time to go home. I am here. I am happy, and I am ready to move on to the next phase of my life. As my life motto continues to be, “Live life without regrets.” I can honestly say that I enjoyed serving my mission—it was an amazing opportunity to learn and grow and serve in ways that I could not have even imagined. But as I sit here in my house I know that my place now is here. There really isn’t a whole lot to it. I love you all and I look forward to helping and serving and loving you all from a much closer proximity ☺ Ate mais..
