My Last Post for 18 months

So this is my last post for 18 months. I will be headed to Utah to see family and Friends on Friday July 16th and then my parents and 2 younger sibs will drop me off at the MTC on Wed the 21st. Im so excited to be going but nervous at the same time. Its going to be hard to say good bye.

Yesterday was a good day. I gave my talk in sacrament and it went so well. I'm glad its over but it went well. It was a hard sacrament meetin cuz it was my last one for a while and the spirit was so strong. After Church I went home and we got dinner ready and then ate w/ my family. My aunt and uncle were here w/ their kids from Tucson it was nice to see them. We also had our wonderful family friends the Allreds over for dinner..it was so hard to say good bye to them. They left this mornin for Safford AZ where they just moved back. She got a good job offer at the elementary school so they moved back. it was so hard but i know i will see them again when I get back.

Saturday was a good day as well. I had an open house/good bye party. There was a great turn out and it was good to see everyone.

Well so long for 18 months...Have a great day! :)

Time is quickly runnin out

So Yesterday was 1 month til I report to the MTC! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Im no where near ready to leave. I still need to do so much. Im so excited to be going but so stressed and so nervous. TIme is diminishing and im not sure where it all has gone. Im tryin to finish up all my shoppin before I leave and w/ out gettin too frustrated, which I might add is harder than you think.

SO an Update:
On June 12th I went through the San Diego Temple and took out my Endowment and it was a wonderful experience. I loved it so much. My absolute favorite part was seeing my Parents and 2 really good family firneds all dressed in white waitin for me in the Celestial room. It was so great! The entire experience was amazing.

Now Im just finishin up my todo list. It will eventually get done. I hope.

Talk "Farewell"

Im speaking in church on July 11th. It should be good...dk what im speakin on yet but I will know soon then I will start preparin my talk so that i don't stress over it. SO if anyone wants to come feel free. Church starts at 11, any questions feel free to ask.

There Is A God

I love this music video and song. It really makes you stop and think. There is really a God and each and every day there is evidence of His creations and all the wonderful things on this earth. I am truly thankful for the life i have on this earth and for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. We are all here for a reason and have a purpose on this earth. Life is a journey and we need to enjoy it and live it to the fullest. How much proof do we need? Well there is proof all over the place. The moon, stars, sun, flowers, etc..they are every where. Just because science can't prove it doesn't mean that God doesn't exist. I believe w/ all my heart that there is a God. I have seen His hand in my life so many times to count not to believe. So just look around and enjoy all the wonderful things and blessings that you have been givin, then stop and think about your life. There is a God!
