Week 1 and so on :)

Being back was very weird. I kind of felt like a deer in the head lights for a few days. It was more of a culture shock than I thought it would be. And that's bad considering I came from Washington here's an excerpt from my first Facebook post back:
Taking that name tag off was THE hardest thing I've ever done...but I am home! Being a full time missionary is the greatest thing I've ever done in my life. I will miss Washington and all it's greenness  I will miss being a missionary and testifying of the Savior. But I will continue to testify of him and his unending love and amazing grace!
The weekend I came home a bunch of return missionaries went up the canyon and had a bon fire! :) It was a lot of fun and got me out of my deer in the head lights phase more. Most of them had been back 6 weeks or longer than I had. The first week being home a ton of people texted and wanted to come and see me :) it was awesome and kept me busy! I am grateful for my friends :) My 2 best friends from high school came down/up from Cedar City and Logan to visit which was awesome :) It was so good to see all of the wonderful people that I love and missed so much. But after about 2 weeks I was done and ready to go back. If only that was how it worked. But I know God wants me here, He has a plan for me. I will trust in Him, because I know He will always take care of me. I am just trying to find my place here...this should be interesting :)

They Called Me "Sister"

My name is Brittany Wilkins. I was previously known every day as "Sister Wilkins", I recently returned home from an LDS mission in Tacoma Washington A.K.A: the WA-TAC! It was literally the best experience of my life thus far! :) I will always hold my time as a missionary very close to my heart. I came to know my Savior more every day and watched people change their lives through His sacrifice. You can read all about it on my other blog: sisterbrittanyannwilkins.blogspot.com, The intent of this new blog is #1 for me to keep a type of journal because I'm apparently bad at writing things down. #2 for my future posterity. #3 to inspire and uplift others. and i'm sure other reasons will come along. This is all about being a return missionary, adjusting back to life and becoming more like my Savior. <3
