Because I knew you

Throughout our life journey there are many other travelers that pass us by, coming in and out of our lives. It is incredible how Heavenly Father places people in our lives in the very moment we need them. Some of these people may just be a passing smile in a grocery store while others become a new best friend. I heard once that we are each others "People Angels." Often times we don't know the difference a simple compliment or friendly greeting makes in another person's life.

I love a song from the musical Wicked called "Because I knew you." In the Chorus it says, " Because I knew you, I have been changed for good." In this wonderful experience of a mission I have met many people that have made a positive impact on my life. Meeting new people has become a daily adventure that I cherish. Some of my fondest memories and greatest friends have come from the companions that I have had the opportunity to serve with. Before my mission I was fairly worried about being with someone literally 24/7, but now I have come to see it as one of the greatest blessings of my life. Just as the song states each one of them has become a friend and has changed my life for good. I was grateful to get a picture with all my companions. They are wonderful sisters who became a part of my journey.

I hope each of us realize the difference, big or small, we can make as a traveler in each others journey, and that someone can say about you " Because I knew you, I have been changed for good."
