WEEK 21

Dear Everyone,
      I am no longer in Newnan. I am now serving in the YSA ward in the Fayettville Stake. My new companion is Sister Christensen. It is going to be fun! I sent a poem with this letter that is so true! With hard times come really good ones, and it's the good ones that make it worth it. Right now I am on a good one so I can't wait to share the stories and blessings I will find. Thank you so much for all your support!

Love Sister Chidester

The Highs and Lows of a Mission

A mission is a strange experience
it is a trial and a test
Amission throws at you the worst
Yet, teaches you the best.
I've never been so happy,
I've never been so depressed.
I've never felt so forsaken,
I've never felt so blessed.
I've never been so confused,
Things have never been so clear.
I've never felt Heavenly Father so distant,
He's never been so near.
I've never been so discouraged,
I've never been so full of hope.
I feel I could go on forever,
I think I've come to the end of my rope.
I've never had it quite so easy,
I've never had it quite so tough.
Things have never been so smooth,
Things have never been so rough.
I've never traveled through more valleys,
I've never ascended more peaks.
I've never met so many nice people,
I've never met so many freaks!
I've never had so many ups,
I've never had so many downs.
I've never had so many frowns.
I've never been so lonely,
I've never had so many friends.
Boy, I hope this is over soon,
Gosh, I hope this never ends.
