source of comfort.

do you have something that is what you go to for comfort?

i do.

this is it.

my mission teddy bear.

[i really hope my comps read this. they love my teddy. especially pressing the hand.]

i cuddle with my teddy every single night.

she is so soft.

so comfortable.

so full of memories.

"on my mission .. "

really.

on my mission i needed something to remind me of home.

something to hold.

i REALLY missed my mom & sisters while i was gone.

about 6 months into my time in the wmm i received this gift from my sister heather.

i had just been transfered to appleton.

new area.

new companion.

hardest time of change.

this little gift brought me such comfort.

my sister dressed her up as a missionary.

like me.

my teddy retired her mission clothes but as i cuddle with her at night i remember the good times.

prob the funniest thing about this teddy is the hand.

[mentioned before.]

my sister put a sound thing in the hand.

its creepy.

it laughs. weirdly.

my comps know what i am talking about.

i would sometimes roll over it when i was sleeping.

sorry for that.

i am laughing right now as i remember those moments in the night.

it would wake me up.

most of the time it would wake them up too!

every time i am on my bed this little teddy is in my arms.

so comforting for me.

thank you sister.

thank you teddy.

more memories to come.
