It's no secret; I'm not a hugger. It's not that I dislike hugs, I actually love them. Some of my most treasured memories are centered around a good hug. I just also am content without physical touch at times. But handshakes! I just love them. Nothing beats a solid handshake. Professional, classy, firm and at the same time they can be silly, sweet and fun. So you can imagine how happy I am as a missionary! Handshakes all day everyday!
But ever since becoming a missionary, I have received some of the best, BEST hugs.
My favorite hugs from this week:
-MY SISTER COMPANIONS. We met up for the first time and we were all beaming with excitement as we rolled up. After getting to know and love these girls, being with them in person was so special! We ran into each other’s arms and I never wanted to let go.
-Some of my beans! When 4 cute faces popped up on my porch I lit up! They’ve been with me through it all and it makes my heart so happy that we can now all share our missionary experiences together! I sure love them.
Something about that missionary hug. Maybe it’s because social distancing says “no touch, 6 feet” or that as a missionary you can only hug girls that now make hugs so appealing to me, but I will never forget running and holding onto my girls. It’s that Sister bond!
An image that has brought me so much comfort is found in 2 Nephi 1:15 "The Lord hath redeemed my soul... I have beheld his glory, and I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love." I cannot wait for the day that we will return to Him and run into His arms. His arms are full of love for each one of us!
Go hug someone you love! Tell them how much you appreciate them. For real. Go do it right now. I'm holding you accountable.
It's no secret; I am now a hugger.
Love big! Love hard!
