Emily–thanks for sharing the links. I haven’t been following Segullah long enough to have read all of these, so it was nice to catch the highlights! And, of course, read some moving writing. As it happens, I’m along right now (my husband is at his parents, but someone had to stay home while the kids sleep), so it’s nice to feel like I’m in good company. 🙂

Hello Emily. I love all these Segullah posts. I was especially moved by “Peruvian Thanksgiving” as I served in Puno with Melissa and was transferred just a week before this meal she prepared and would have been one of the welfare sister missionaries she mentioned. A flood of memories came to mind and I wanted to be there all over again. My son now serves in the same mission and just got assigned to Puno. I would love to get in touch with Melissa but was not able to leave a comment on her post because I guess it was closed to more comments. What a wonderful blog. I will be following future posts.

Melinda, how nice to see you here! And how exciting that your son is serving in the Arequipa mission! My son goes into the MTC in two weeks and will be serving in the Illinois, Chicago mission, Spanish speaking. Where did the years go?
Anyway, I’ll try to get your email address and send you a proper email. =)

Great to find you, Melissa! I left my email in the “required” space. Hopefully you can retrieve it. If not let me know and we’ll figure something out. My son got called to the Peru,Cusco mission but it’s just half of the original Arequipa mission! The years have flown by and the memories are vivid.
