Dear Karina

Thank you for your farewell this weekend.  It was beautiful.

My favorite part was when you read the words of I Stand All Amazed.  When you told your story about your friend Emma in China. Okay, the whole thing was my favorite part.

Thank you for making me want to be a better person.  Thank you for always being there.  Thank you for being such a great example of service to me.

Thank you for your great example of being able to fall asleep anywhere you would like to whenever you would like.  I wish I could learn more from you on that front 🙂

Thank you for making cocaine cookies for us. SO. DELICIOUS.

Thank you for you huge smile!

For always sharing your love with others.

For never being afraid to say I love you.

For being so ready to forgive.

To stress but not stress.

To laugh with me.

To have deep conversations with me late into the night.

For road tripping with me to California and back and then to Colorado and back.

For your contagious laugh.

For your oh-so-shareable opinions.

For your kindness and your bluntness and your honesty.

And thank you for being my best friend.

I love you!

You will be an amazing missionary 🙂

Love,

Emma
