the call

y'all i got my call in the mail today and let's just say it's been an emotional roller coaster this week.

Tuesday: I am hanging out with my main girl Ruby (Bishops daughter) when Bishop comes home, walks out back and says my call has been assigned.. i honestly freaked out. Texted the fam, texted some friends and honestly couldn't believe it. Mentally I had thought it was going to be next week cause the funeral and everything etc. But low and behold it has been assigned. And most people know that once it says assigned on Tuesday you usually get it on Thursday. so...

Wednesday: kinda freaking out. maybe it'll come today cause SLC to Draper is very short. ya know who knows? Nothing.. but it's fine.

Thursday: I had the mail held cause it comes at 4:30 PM.. ya that's a joke wasn't gonna wait that long to get it. Go to the post office and NOTHING.. WHAT THE HECK are you kidding.. I was kinda sad at this point but it's ok. it's fine.

Friday: Ok didn't come today (I knew early cause dad called the post office hahaha i love him). That's fine. Its coming next week. I thought that anyways I'll just go back to that mentality

Saturday: BIFF TEXTS ME THAT BRADY GOT HIS CALL.. what the heck.. i had just gotten out of the shower. ran to my parents checked the mail nothing. ran inside they hadn't gotten the mail.. oh good. my heart is pounding.. but i'm trying not to get my hopes up cause if it didn't come its fine. i'll survive. go talk to dad. can barely talk.. am having a heart attack (not really) but ya know might as well have been one. but he says ok well let's go hunt down the mailman. we get outside to my car and the mailman is at the end of my street. ditch the car and we are running to the truck. the mail man holds out my call and i am crying. surprise surprise right?! anyways my dad and i walk back to the house. i am crying can't breathe currently having a heart attack.

here i am 1:35 am can't sleep. guys i was literally asleep so quick on Christmas Eve yet here i am laying awake. blogging cause i can't sleep. I cant breathe. I am freaking out.. 8:30 better come quickly

xoxo Sister Standage

8:30pm

today was the longest and greatest day of my life. it started out me getting ready for church and the opening. cleaning curlin hair ya know the sunday morning norm. I went to church for an hour and half then went up to SLC with Kylee to watch the worldwide devotional with Elder Uchtdorf and his wife. It was unreal. We got there at 4 the doors opened at 4:30 we ran into cute Brother and Sister Turner and chatted for a little. Then we went in. For some miracle tim got us front row seats. I was literally only behind the family rows and was in shock the whole time. I was so close to Elder Uchtdorf I was honestly star struck. The devotional was great and so spiritually enlightening, but then after it was over Uchtdorf came down in the crowd and was shaking hands and I got to shake his cute wifes hand and touch him. Honestly he is my favorite and I love him so much. After that we booked our butts up to my house cause I AM OPENING MY MISSION CALL. i got home a little after 8:30 (sorry y...

dress shopping

Can i just disclaimer this post with this message: I know it doesn't matter what you're wearing on your mission. But for me when I look good and presentable I am productive and feel confident. If I look like a scrub I act like a scrub. I dress to impress myself not others just to make this clear. I know I'm not the only one with these thoughts, so I thought I'd share. If I'm being honestly one of the biggest and only worries in preparing for my mission was losing a sense of style on the mission. I am fine flying half way across the world, spending time away from loved ones, etc. But this actually worried me, and I feel like this this is worse than school dance dress shopping (cause we all know that's a huge stress in hs) , and slightly less worse than wedding dress shopping (and we all know that this is a huge concern in real life haha). There is nothing wrong with the way the girls in the pamphlet dressed that's totally fine, its just not my style. Neit...

Book of Mormon

Image
Gday (I hope you know no one really says that here)  Thursday was zone conference. And it was all about Baptism and the Book of Mormon the 2 biggest things for missionaries. All transfer (or zone conference to zone conference) we study a topic this time it was baptism. President Marquis randomly (as directed by the spirit) calls on missionaries to talk as we have all prepared a 10 minute talk on it. And what do ya know I got called up. I talked about my baptism the day before the 4th of July and the whole state of Utah was celebrating my baptism with parades and BBQ, and fireworks. Cause it's such a super cool thing to be baptized right? (Well it is but 4th of July was also the next day so...) but it was great, that was my 3rd talk I've given at a zone conference. Maybe my last(?). It was all really good and a great boost to go out and share the Book of Mormon really "thrusting in the sickle" but we were asked by the assistants to prepare a 5 minute mini lesson on a t...
