This week we have been zippin around getting from appointment to appointment. not much to say, really.
We were able to see some of the members I have served around for the past 2 years.
Sunday was really the finale of it all. We had a very missionary focused church service. A member gave his farewell talk and the 3 of us missionaries that are going home from Don valley ward also bore testimony. The ward held a farewell party/munch and mingle after the meetings where we were able to say goodbye to all the members.
That night we had dinner with sister Barbara Ann and dessert with the Dyquiangco family who fed us halo halo (beans, sweet corn, Jack fruit, jelly, coconut, shaved ice, ube ice cream, condensed milk, milk), ube ice cream, queso ice cream and balut. Filipino Ice cream is A1.
It's been real here in the Canada Toronto Mission.
I truly cannot express the love I have for this place and the people here. My testimony of the Savior and his church has grown so much and I am so grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve the Lord here for the past 2 years.
Some major mixed emotions coming to the surface this week as I am excited to come home and see everyone again and as I am leaving Toronto.
I guess I'll be seeing you all soon!
