Missionaries

Can I just say I love missionaries AND Missionary Mail? 
I can't wait to be a missionary.
10 MONTHS!!!
Till I can start my papers.
Yeah, I'm a little excited.
OKAY, MAYBE A LOT!!

Writing missionaries is the best thing. When you see that letter in the mail with your name on it. You get all giddy and just can't wait to open it. Then you get upset cause you kinda ripped the envelope and it didn't open the way you wanted it to. But then you have the letter in your hand and you could care less about the envelope. Then you start reading the letter and you are reading it so fast that not everything registers in your head. Then you have to go to FHE and the letter is sitting on your bed. And you are thinking, I just wanna go home and write him back. But you don't, you stay at FHE. Then a day or two later you find the time to write him back. When you finally click "send letter" you hope you didn't forget anything.
Then the following Monday the process continues.

This will be more entertaining when I'm on my mission. 
I'M EXCITED :)

I Love To See The Temple



But I also love to go inside it. This week I've been good with keeping my goal. I have gone every day so far. (Except for Monday cause it's closed) I went this morning with my brother. And again sometime with a co-worker (who just got his endowments yesterday) So i'm quite excited (and exhausted) I guess being on a spiritual high makes you really tired...but it's worth it :)
If you haven't had a chance to go to the temple this week, make time and go. Like I said, it's worth it.

New Phone...again

Each year I get a different phone. (Not on purpose) I just always tend to switch phone plans. I have never had the same phone for more than a year. 

I went from this...
To This...

I'm content. I also got a new number (for certain reasons) 
Anyway, that's it for now :)

Close to *Perfect*

Last week I had a goal to go to the temple every day (except Monday cause it's closed) I went Tuesday, twice on Wednesday, and Thursday. I didn't go Friday or Saturday. So my challenge of the week wasn't completed. But I feel great about going. By the end of the week I was exhausted! I worked Monday-Monday. That's right, I worked Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday (yesterday). Today is FINALLY my day off. Wahoo!
Today has been an incredible day! I know, it's only 10:45AM and I have been very productive. I woke up at 6:29AM, Prayed, took my dad to work (in Spanish Fork) it's a 30 minute drive. 30 to get there and 30 on the way back. As I was driving home I listened to upbeat church music (my favorite!)
As I was listening to the words I got a feeling to go the the temple. So when I got home I got ready and headed to the temple. It was incredible!! I did confirmations and then baptisms. The brother there asked me if I could to 20 names. I happily said, 'yes'. Afterwards, I asked if we could do more (no one was waiting and i'm already there...so why not?) They said, 'of course!' I did 5 more names. Then, he asked, "How are you holding up sister?" I said, "great!" He then asked if I wanted to do more names. I said, "yes!" We continued that process till we were all satisfied with the number of baptisms. 
The brother there shook my hand and said, "out of my four years here, I have never had anyone do so many names. You are our new record."
It has been an incredible day :)
