The ties we made the elders

The cutest dog at the ladies house we had dinner with on Saturday

Saturday morning the same lady we had dinner with had us come over and she bought us hot chocolate.. it was hot (felt hotter than 28) but we were in the sun drinking hot chocolate.. christmas here is so weird. 

our christmas tree full of random gifts from the elders. they always find weird things on the ground and gave them to us we had a jar of them and decided to make them into ornaments.. also our gifts from the mission president and wife (not really them but the members) are keeping our tree alive ;) just kidding. 

the group one is the goodbye party for the Americans going back to school!! it was the funnest thing! 

ok now i'm done. love you all

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...
