Heartbroken

As I sit here tonight I am at a lost for words. We have been in Utah a total of 16 weeks. We have met some amazing people and have become so close without even realizing it. At small group we discovered that a family who has a daughter a year older than Madilynn is now moving away. Madilynn has become so close to their daughter. She talks about her all the time and details all the plans she has for them to do together. I sat there blown away. There are very few people that get to me. I bawled like a big baby. My heart broke for Madilynn. Never in my life have I ever been so emotional about someone moving away. In the church we go to there are two little girls that are close to Madilynn's age and one is moving away. It's as if something has been ripped out of me. I'm sad and scared. It is really important for Madilynn to have fellowship with other children from families with the same beliefs as us. Please pray for this family who still has to sell there home here in Utah, find a new home in a southern state close to AR, and move across the country with four children the youngest being Madilynn's friend. These were the first people to introduce themselves to us, showed us around the church, and invited us into their home. I mean THE very first ones to shake our hands and welcome us. We miss all our friends we have in AR and IA. Now we will miss our friends we will have in KY.

I'm sorry to hear that Miranda! I'm sad for little Madilynn too. I'll pray for more friends for her and continued growth for your friendships in small group.
