Hello! This is Kaylee’s best
friend, Haylie. There is one month until Kaylee leaves for her mission! I would
just like to take a minute and write how truly grateful I am for Kaylee and her
influence in my life.
Kaylee and I have been best friends
since 5th grade. It’s amazing our friendship has lasted this long!
We both went our separate ways for high school but stayed in touch and talked
frequently. After all those years there was no way a school was going to tear
us apart. Even if we were rivals. ;) We have been there to cheer on each other
in whatever adventure we were going through.
Now, it’s her time to shine.
Kaylee has been waiting for her
time to serve a mission for as long as I can remember. When the age change
happened back in 2012, she texted me and said that her “prayers had been
answered.” This was such a blessing in her life.
Kaylee is probably one of the most
caring and selfless people I know. She always thinks of others and isn’t afraid
to speak her mind and share the gospel and her testimony—especially with people
who are not members of the Church. I wish I had the courage that she does. Her
testimony is so strong, it’s unbelievable. Kaylee is one of the most spiritual
people I know. She is so in tune to the Holy Ghost. It guides her in her life. She
has already been an incredible missionary and she hasn’t even left yet.
She is such a strong person and I know I can
rely on her for anything. She will follow through with things, and will give it
her all, in any part of her life. I’ve never known her to back down from a
challenge, she faces it head-on. She got me to realize some of the important
things in my life. She opened my eyes.
We’ve been through so much
together, but now it’s time to let her fly. From our first dates, first crushes,
high school dances, softball games, late nights, Oakcrest, telling secrets,
crying together, and laughing our heads off, up to graduation and a mission
call, we have been the best of friends. Sisters. I’m going to miss my best
friend, but I’m so excited to see where the Lord takes her as she starts her
new adventure in Macon, Georgia. All I can say is THEY better be preparing for
her.
Sister Kaylee Applegate, You will
be an amazing missionary! You are going to change people’s lives, and if you
let it, it will change your life too. I love your guts! Know that there will be
many people back home praying for you, including me!
Forever your best friend, through
thick and thin, across the nation,
Haylie Anne:)
