just another adelaide moment


every now and then God puts someone in my life that strengthens my testimony of the pre-earth life.  sister freja cross was definitely one of those people.  we had to have been friends before we came here.  and since she lives in australia and i live in the united states, God had to call us both to the same mission to meet each other for the first time (or rather reunite).  there is not a day that went by during our transfer together that i did not laugh uncontrollably.  there is also not a day that went by that we didn't eat otter pops.  there is probably not an hour that went by that we didn't sing.  freja has the most beautiful voice EVER, and has perfect pitch.  the poor thing had to listen to me sing along with her and was patient enough to put up with it.

freja and i knew we were going to be companions long before we were called to be.  we would even call each other "compy" in the hall or on the square as we passed each other.  divine inspiration.  so we weren't too surprised when this transfer call came around.  she was such a supportive companion.  for example, i was really into running in the mornings.  my previous transfers i either had a roommate that could go on exchanges in the morning or a companion that wouldn't mind running with me.  freja didn't want to run with me but she got up every morning at 6:00am (30 min earlier than we have to) and go outside with me while i ran.  it was october and november while we were together so sometimes she would be sitting outside while it was snowing while i ran.  it still blows my mind that she would do that for me.

we would laugh a lot a quote disney's robin hood.  i would call her, "hiss."  she would also go on adventures with him while in the temple to try to see more rooms that we hadn't before seen, or finding secret rooms in the beehive house.  i loved finding out new things and she would be right there with me.  oh freja, how i miss you. 

since the mission, freja is now married. i heard about this lucky guy while we were companions and long after.  he is a lucky guy.  they are living in adelaide and recently purchased a house there.  i told freja that she is to be preparing the guest room in their house so that i may come for a visit.  i so look forward to the time when we are reunited.  miss you freja.
