Worthy vs. Perfect

Dear Mom, Somehow, we survived last week and made it out okay. I won't be seeing you until next summer. These past four days have not been exactly the heavenly experience to say the least. I've been preparing all morning for my workshop for our zone tomorrow, and since that's all I can seem to think about, I'll share that with you too.

Corpuz and Jolley shall continue to rock. RIGHT? Man, when we found out, and then found out our best friends in the zone also were staying, it was all screams, laughs, and smiles (screams, of course, on my behalf). Although it will be really hard to say goodbye...
