</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">I feel like I'm forgetting to tell ya'll something... oh well</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">Anyway the "W" FAMILY CAME TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY!</span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">IT WAS AMAZING! ugh I can't even deal with how well they are progressing</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">Elizabeth their youngest did so well in sacrament ! And loved primary!</span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">They are still on date for baptism and we are taking them to the DC</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">visitors center (GOOGLE IT) ON MAY 26! They are so golden!</span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">June first we will have a midnight baptism for them! haha</span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">I stayed with Erica the "W"s older daughter that is 13</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">in Young Women and I was asked to bear my testimony</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">and awkwardly I joined the church and never got to be in Young Women</span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">so... I told them how blessed they were and how happy I was that my</span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">daughter will grow up in the church and will get to be in Young Women &</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">of course I start crying and when I get back to my seat she sees that I'm</span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">crying and she throws me her "comfort item"</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">My heart about broke into a million pieces.</span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">In the "w" home they use "comfort items" for when Elizabeth feels scared</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">or doesn't feel good. It's something autistic children need to know they</span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;"> </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">Migraines be real. The weather is HOT here in THE WV. </span></div>
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">NOT just regular heat. But with humidity and all that. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">before bed so why not. But it just feels weird to just relax as a missionary. Your mind does not</span></div>
</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">stop... your always thinking about other people.. how you can help them.. </span></div>
</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">how you can be better. What more you can do... just different things. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">I sat in the bathtub and read my birthday card from Elder Evangelista... </span></div>
</span></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">and was just so grateful that I could just </span><b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">be still. </b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">A couple days later I woke up with a migraine from the heat... and other things.. and I decided it was time to get a Priesthood blessing. So the Elders came over early morning Saturday and gave me a blessing. It was exactly what I needed. At the very end... he said... </span><b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">you were called to be a light to the world. </b></div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">THIS WHOLE TIME... that I've woken up with a migraine and I haven't been able to be the missionary that I've wanted to be.. has KILLED ME. I've felt like I've slowed my companion down. I felt like I slowed down our teaching. It affects our studies... and I was hating myself and me getting down on myself hadn't allowed me to get better. I was working through the pain. It was awful. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">When he said that I realized that I'm human. I have a body. I'm not perfect. It will take time to adjust. I have to let myself rest when I can't. And He will take care of it. He will take care of my investigators (the people we are teaching). He will take care of me. Because it's his work, not mine. I'm just an instrument. </span></div>
</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">That needs maintenance from time to time. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sorry, I didn't write last week! We've just been so busy!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Time has just been flying! I can't even deal. Have I really been out here for almost</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">a FULL transfer. NO WAY.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">ANYWAY. Ya'll, this is so hard.... I probably complain too much..</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Poor Sister Rowley... #PRAYFORMYCOMPANION</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">hahaha GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS AMAZING.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let me tell you a little something about what General Conference is like when</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">you are on a mission. SUPER BOWL FOR MISSIONARIES!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You seriously wake up and it's like Christmas morning!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Okay for those of you who don't know what General Conference is,</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">it's when the leaders of our church speak every 6 months and it's broadcasted!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's super sweet! Can we talk about how amazing President Eyring even started off</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">conference! When he took the pause! Me and Sister Rowley were at Mama Tyrell's</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">house (she's a character, we LOVE HER!) and just looked at each other and were like WHOA.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">BUT seriously think about it. During this live broadcast of conference, all the saints get together</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and if we are all watching all seeking... all praying TOGETHER. We are all present with GOD.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">HOW COOL IS THAT!???!!! Can't even deal! *cries* during opening prayer*</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">IT WAS SUCH A POWERFUL statement.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Something else conference opened my eyes to is who I am.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My identity.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Who I see myself as.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But really.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In times of trouble or in trials I should say... whats the first thing we do? PANIC.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well I do... I start doubting.. fear... all these other things... instead of ... remembering</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">who I am.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a child of God. I have no need to fear. That should be our first response... always.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That, my brothers and sisters, is our eternal identities. We are sons and daughters of a DIVINE BEING!!! And he WANTS to bless us!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Life isn't fair.. nope it's not. If life was fair you and I would never be resurrected. So you know what? I'm glad life's not fair. I started thanking Heavenly Father for challenges. It's something new I started doing. Because life's not fair, we have MIRACLES!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One day.. we will know why we go through what we go through.. but I can say this</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One day, He will wipe away all our tears and there will be no more pain and no more sorrow and we will be with Him.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One day. Hold on to that.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Remember who you are.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These past few days I've come to find that I've been given a gift..</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some glasses, I suppose.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These glasses have given me a new perspective. Their kinda neat...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I get to meet all these people... sit in their living room .. even on their porch..</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">get to know them.. listen to them pray with them... teach them...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">cry with them.... not judge them... LOVE them...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and I get to do all this through my Savior's eyes....</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I get to see them the way Christ would.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's a gift..... looking back at who I was a few years ago...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I don't know if I would have been able to do this... i would be reluctant to walk into</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">anyones house... let alone talk to them......</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Christ loved everyone... talked to everyone... healed everyone...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have been given a gift.... even when I am not with these sweet people I meet..</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think about them throughout my day... I pray for them... I hope they are having a</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">our Savior felt... when He spoke with people...</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">I can't stress this enough....</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">There isn't enough time in the day especially in Preparation day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">ESPECIALLY during email time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">THAT BEING SAID I'm so sorry that I'm abusing this blog and my emails</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">and our friendships. I still love you. So much so so much.</span></div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">ANYWAY LIKE 2 weeks ago we were knocking on a potentials door</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">(potential= potential investigator of the church) and all of a sudden sister Rowley</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">looks down at the bush that is like 3 inches away from me and goes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">"Sister Sosa, there's a snake in that bush" ... I DIE... well I don't die .. but I literally</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">freeze and just want to die... and I start backing away and panicking and I start</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">saying "Sister Rowley I cant, I cant " and I run way hahahahaha.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">BUT GUESS WHAT! I DIDN'T EVEN CRY! The only reason I didn't cry</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">is because I was in total shock haha. But no, we totally booked it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">I then ask Sister Rowley how many snakes she's seen on her mission and she</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">says 2... -_____- one was dead.... and this is my first transfer. UGH</span></div>
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">ANYWAY. So do ya'll remember how excited I was to learn that I was speaking English?</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">Well I've actually used my Spanish a lot on my mission more than I've been comfortable with..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">We were inspired to knock on a door and met a man named David .. he didn't speak much</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">English but just enough to speak with both me and Sister Rowley both... we told</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">him about the Gospel and the blessings it could bring to him and his family.</span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">He seemed to like what we told him and kept telling us to go see his wife</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">We said okay and he gave us her number and address.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">We went to go see her and we come to find out</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">she did not speak any English at all... GREAT -____-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">She's nice and tells us she has 10 mins GREAT -___-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">WELL, we decide we can do it teach the restoration (the first lesson)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">in Spanish with the spirit there. So she invited us in.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">For the first part of the lesson it's just Sister Rowley teaching and me</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">translating .... awkwardly ... we finally get to the first vision.... and Sister Rowley just looks</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">at me like it's my turn to teach.... so I start with "jose smith" and after that I don't remember much</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">until I ask her in Spanish, of course, "Morena, how do you feel right now?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">and she turns to me and says "I feel great, I think it's great that God can answer our prayers." At this point I'm trying my hardest not to cry but I think its happening haha and I feel prompted to ask her to be baptized and totally do and she says yes! Ahhh totally taught that lesson by the spirit !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">I THOUGH I KNEW HOW TO SPEAK SPANISH UNTIL I HAD TO TEACH IN SPANISH! So I feel for the homie Elder Evangelista! LET US PRAY FOR HIM! hahaha</span></div>
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">Morena is amazing! Unfortunately we have to pass her off to the Spanish elders because I do not know how to say things like priesthood in Spanish ... but then I learned that the real teacher is the spirit, not us.... I am only an instrument in this great work of my Heavenly Father.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">Every night me and my companion play a game. We ask each other what instrument we were that day. One we might be a piano or a trumpet... if you don't answer fast enough, you weren't anything lol. jk... but seriously. The work is so great.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">GUYS I'VE BEEN OUT FOR A MONTH + time flies when your boss is Heavenly Father!</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">On my ONE month I made my companion and I eggs and bacon :P</span></div>
</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">How was your Easter ?!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">MINE WAS TERRIBLE! I was bed ridden. I got a flu and was vomiting! And everything went st8 thru me ! Ugh luckily I have some amazing members in my ward who passed by and brought my amazing companion (who took really good care of me ) an Easter dinner and saltines and Gatorade for me.</span></div>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">So I hope yours was better.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">First of all Peyton Manning retired??<br />Saw that coming. Mark Sanchez? UGH<br />WHATEVER. Focus Sister Sosa focus.<br />We woke up sooo late to report to the travel<br />office lol.. but not as late as some other missionaries<br />we actually left them there. they still made it though<br />Honestly the whole ride to Salt Lake was a nightmare.<br />I was ready to call it quits. I don't understand why they<br />don't make it easy and take us straight there.. Oh i know why<br />They want us to learn... Or something..<br />Well they take you on the bus drop you off at some train ..<br /> then to another<br />train and the whole time you're lugging around all your luggage and asking yourself why in the world you brought 27 skirts nooo bueno and your crying because its so cold and like 5 in the morning. and more than anything i wished the Elders from my district were there because<br /> they would have helped me and you're still thinking about how hard it was to say bye and how you hope they got on their plane<br />and how sweet little elder Quist reminded you of your little<br />brother :'( so we finally get to the airport check in our stuff take a<br />breather and wow the whole time im praying in my head for strength<br />because honestly there is no other way i did that alone.<br />My bags were soooo heavy.* Also i got most fashionable in the MTC thanks to my frenssss. ;) *<br />focus focus<br />so we get to our gate and guess we see OUR ELDERS!!!!!<br />TENDER MERCIES!!!! wasnt i just wishing we would see them just once more??!! they are just about to board their flight to mesa AZ. it was so great. and i dont even cry. im just so happy to see them haha.<br />It just shows me that my Heavenly Father is so aware of me and<br />knows us and knows exactly what we need to be comforted after<br />the storm.<br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">LANDED IN BMORE!!! there was a bunch of turbulence on the flight so i just slept through it to not be so scared. haha. and the weather was actually a lot like california weather when we got here. as soon as we got here the pres his wife and the assistants to the presidents greeted us and helped us with our bags and drove us to the mission home.<br />GORGEOUS. all i wanted to do was sleep... but nope. Interviews.<br />My mission president and his wife are AWESOME. i got to know her a little on the car ride . we had a devotional and an amazing home cooked meal when we got there. When president interviewed me after i was done crying my eyes out(typical) -___- he asked me if i had any questions for him.. i asked him if i had to cover my tattoos. He said no. Thats who you were. And personally I didnt even notice them I know that they will help whoever you are teaching know that youre past doesnt matter. :) </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">I LOVE PRESIDENT CHRISTIANSEN! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Week one dragged ... Week 2 flew byyy! </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Can you believe I leave for Baltimore tomorrow morning </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm talking real early like...4 am. PANIC. no it's fine. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's gonna be alright. You know why? Because I have <span style="line-height: 21.3px;">learned sooooo much here. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21.3px;">The MTC taught me my </span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;">PURPOSE as a missionary. This place was truly a great experience for me</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I laughed I cried.. I CRIED some more. Haha ya'll know me.. I'm such a baby. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Send me tissues if you don't know what to send me. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Um lets get real for a sec</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You know that spiritual high they talk about at the MTC? It's so real. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Theres no way <span style="line-height: 21.3px;">to not feel it. Everywhere you go. The spirit is truly there. It hits you in the face. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm not gonna lie some days were really hard.. I'd wake up asking myself what the heck </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I signed up for and why the heck am I awake at 6 am ... and why am I sharing a room with </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3 other girls that are all under the age of 20.. but on those days. I would pray... pray to know </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">to truly know. My purpose. To help others come unto christ. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ladies and Gentlemen. This is not <span style="line-height: 21.3px;">about me.. this is not my mission. This is his mission. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21.3px;">We had a devotional on the first of the month </span><span style="line-height: 21.3px;">and Elder Neilson of the 70 was the speaker and something he said really hit me.. Remember Lot's wife.. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now for those of you who don't know that story... Lot's wife turned back, and she was told not too...</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She was told to keep looking forward. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now I know that if it was not for Christ atonement, I'd be a pillar of salt. Lets be honest... </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How many times have we been on the path and looked back at our old habits.. ..</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am Lot's wife. I struggle with my baggage. I look back.. the point is, f<span style="line-height: 21.3px;">rom now on I will look forward or at least do my best to remember Lot's wife. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">No need to tell ya'll how much I've bonded with my district. They are just awesome people and I'm grateful for inspired <span style="line-height: 21.3px;">MTC leaders because I know I was suppose to meet every single one of them.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">Saying goodbye will be hard. I know I've gained 7 new lifelong friends.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm grateful for my teachers but I've learned more from these guys than I've ever learned since I've joined the church. Their testimonies built mine so much. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">*tear* </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also the elders all fart in class soo thats that. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The second day I got really sick and congested and the Elders and gave me the most beautiful priesthood blessing. #BONDEDFUREVER. </span></div>

I'M ALIVE!<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 21.3px;">They say if you can make it to Sunday you're good ! And well I made it to Pday! </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We went to the temple today and it was amazing!<br />It was a gift to be sitting in the celestial room with a room full of missionaries.<br />My companion's name is Sister Mangisi and she's awesome !<br />She's 19 and the last place she lived is Flagstaff Arizona but she was born in Newport Beach <br />I'm the oldest person in my district -_____ -<br />I already knew that was going to happen<br />The second oldest person is the district leader and he's 22.<br />But other than that I'm pretty much like 6 years older than errrrrbodyy.<br />Eh I got used to everyone telling me I was like a mom the first couple of days until they got to know me haha. I'm really not.<br />Anyway all 4 sisters in my district are headed to Baltimore, 2 elders are going to Hawaii and 2 are going to Arizona.<br />We get along as a district and I'm the only convert of the bunch. I've learned so much from them!<br />My companion and I got called to be Sisters Training Leaders and will be handed 2 new districts tomorrow to orient YIKES.<br />As a STL you get a phone... that only calls the front desk... haha no point. You also attend all the MTC presidency council meetings.<br />I guess it's fun stuff and some responsibility, I guess after I was interviewed they decided I was the best choice for it. Anyway. I wont lie this week has been hard. Being a missionary in the MTC is hard.... That first day was exhausting... all i wanted to do was sleep. but they don't let you. I remember getting here and being ridiculously overwhelmed by people saying"welcome to the mtc" hence ^ it actually got annoying.... The reason they all say that to you is because A) its Wednesday so new missonaries always get dropped off on Wednesdays and b) you have a giant orange dot on your name tag that screams "HEY IM NEW ITS MY FIRST DAY HERE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ANYTHING IS" its fine. <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />I made it I survived. One week down one more week to go. The Lord is soooo good I'm so blessed to be here and have this opportunity to grow in the gospel. it really hit me that I was here on sunday and we sang this hymn/song (because its not longer in the hymn book) called "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" in the auditorium during a devotional . I mean can you imagine 1200+ missionaries singing that song. BOOM the spirit was there. I love you guys. Write me . I'll write back <br style="line-height: 21.3px;" /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Today see if you can stretch your heart and expand your love so that it touches not only those whom you can give it easily , but also those who need it so much." </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="line-height: 21.3px;" />ps. Sorry this is so short I now realize what everyone says about time and being a missionary and sorry there are no pictures. I will get you some next week promise ... maybe.<br />Also I lost my watch on the first day at the mtc and was sooo devastated and prayed and prayed I would find it and guess what ! I did two days later church is true! :) LOVE YOU ALL WRITE ME ! ILL WRITE BACK </span></div>
