So it Begins...

Hello y’all!! So technically I've been a missionary for a couple weeks now, but I don't think it was worth a email after 3 days haha. Anywho, it's been good so far. Online MTC was low key, slow, and draining, but an overall good experience for me. And it DEFINITELY prepped for saying goodbyes and getting used to the missionary life. Learned a ton haha. 


Then gave my farewell (if u didn't watch it I forgive you), and officially have said goodbye to everyone I know and love. Dust kept blowing into my eyes whenever I was saying goodbye for some reason, made my eyes water which was superrr annoying ;)

OH ALSO. I forgot one of my church shoes and a few other things at home lol. I guess I rely on mom A LOT. Guess I have some weaknesses that I need to become strengths :l

Now the Provo MTC is pretty cool. I have a super cool comp who I'm pretty tight with. Got a lot in common with him and then my roommates are a party. I haven't even had classes yet cause I got here and then the next day is pday so I'm now just chillin. Didn't sleep too well cause I think two of my roommates snore kinda loud. Then went to the gym first thing but it was way packed with people. So my district dipped and played pingpong. Next I'm planning on going to the temple and then some volleyball with my district which should be sweeeet. I'll try not to humiliate my opponents too much at volleyball ya know ;) i want to be christlike and all. 

Okay so now I'm finishing this email a few hours later. Soooo the temple was absolutely great and fun with all of my district. And volleyball actually went way good. I totally crushed and played some solid ball. The only team stood no chance when I was playing with all that kindness....not that I was keeping score of course

And then got assigned as a junior companion lol....But guys serving a mish is totally worth it. And it kindaaaa says in D&C 4 that if ye have desires to serve God, ye are called to the work.....so maybe start thinking about y'all.

FYI I can only reply to emails or messages on pdays which as of right now is Thursdays :l 

Anywho love y’all so much, hopefully I'll have more intriguing things to talk about next week haha. 

Hurrah for Israel!!!

Fractured my foot?

  It's been solid. I might have fractured my foot last pday playing soccer. I swung so hard at the ball but hit Sister Vaughn's foot instead and smoked myself. It got all swollen and red and purple for a few days. But it was doing better! Enough for us to play spike ball as a district every morning for exercise lol. I've got no time. Photo dump

My dad got hit by a car?!?

Image
Phew!! What a week.  It was crazy. I got a text on Wednesday that my Dad got hit by a car while riding his bike to work. I was like GASP. He fractured a bunch of bones on the right side of his face and sinus, but he's okay thanks to the miracles of God. Like seriously, God was watching over him. Me and my comp immediately started pouring out our hearts in prayer for my dad. And he's okay! Thank you Heavenly Father that I can still see him during my life on Earth:) God is such a legend for that, haha! Spiritual thought: My mind took an eternal perspective this week because of what happened with my dad. It's crazy how fast something can happen, and it really made me realize how much I cherish my family. Family is EVERYTHING. It's literally what makes Heaven, home. Truly makes a person "think Celestial" when an accident happens. We are truly blessed having the knowledge of God's plan--don't take advantage of it!! Miracle lady: Found a really cool lady who

People passing out-->ZC training-->CAR hits comp-->God's will

  WOAH.  LIKE WOAH.  I MEAN WOOOOOOAAAAAH. This week has been crazy! So much has happened. First was coining on the military base. The sun was out and it was HOT! Someone passed out and fell straight on their face on cement and got reallyyyyy injured so they totally changed the coining ceremony. People were dropping like flies. We went to the graduates under one of the training facilities, and there was a HUGE FLAG.  CAR CRASH?!?!?! Yup, I went to Heritage, which is a biking area, and we were flying down a hill on the ride side and a HUMONGOUS RED.... Prius...SLAMMED INTO MY COMP.  Jkjk that was over exaggerated. But my companion is fine, just got sideswiped by it. We got all the information from them, and I pressured them into meeting with us at least once because they ran into my companion, lol. I'm all about finding those Nations, haha. The person driving was a kid who just had his permit and he didn't even signal. ELECT DUDE: Put a super cool man on date! First lesson was t
