I have the best cell leader

She really is the most patient and loving person I’ve ever met.

Only thing is her prayers are always REALLY REALLY long hahaha but that’s because you know that she really loves you and wants to cover every single area of your life.

I think I will miss my sister when she’s gone. I get really silly with her around [except when she's complaining to me, like all the time, then I must be the "big sister"] and we just do the craziest things like laugh non-stop in the middle of a prayer.

So we were talking to Elysia and she was complaining to us about the other cell members and how exhausting it is to deal with them because they do not know how to interact socially and they call her about 3 times in a row and keep saying the same thing. And once when we had lunch with her husband, he was saying, “I always know when ____ calls, coz I’ll see Elysia take on deep breath before she picks up the phone.”

And it made me feel bad because I was REALLY grumpy a few Saturdays ago and not in the mood at all to be talking to people and then she sent me a message telling us we have a dress code and so I was so annoyed I started texting Nic to complain about not being able to fit into communities…and I accidentally sent it to Elysia.

And she didn’t scold me at all. She didn’t even mention it actually. Maybe it’s because, as she always says, “I don’t think Becky cares about what other people say at all [about herself].” I have a feeling this is also why Pastor Rachel never dares to scold me haha.

But yeah I felt really bad because it’s not her fault, she’s just following orders. And I can’t imagine what it must be like being the cell leader of the largest cell group because all the new people and whoever the rest “can’t handle” just automatically get thrown into our cell group for some reason and we no longer really get to have fun in cell the way we used to.

I really admire her, and will miss her when I’m gone. She’s so strong and so beautiful. I hope that one day God’s love will shape me to become as wise and passionate as she is.
