I'm Home

 Some of you may know I returned home from my mission yesterday. This was not an easy decision, in fact it was the last thing I wanted to do, but in order for me to be the best possible missionary I can be it had to happen. I will be home for the next little bit but fully plan on returning to Salt Lake. These last 7 weeks as a missionary were the best weeks of my life. I grew a love for Salt Lake and the amazing 150 sisters I got to serve with but most importantly I grew an even greater love for my Savior. 

I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer, he loves us so perfectly that he suffered and died for each one of us in Gethsemane and on the cross. He is always cheering us on and wants us to succeed. It makes me so sad to no longer be wearing Christ's name everyday but I know God has a plan for me that is significantly greater than my own plan. I can’t wait to get back out there but in the mean time thank you for all the support and love <3

First and Last Member Meal

Image
Happy Thanksgiving!! Thanksgiving, p day and our only member meal of the mission all in 1 day, sorry if I don't respond.  There's nothing Utahns dislike more than California. Everyday this week I've had someone go on a rant about how much they don't like CA. I might start telling people I'm from AZ or something just to avoid the shade being thrown. Jk I'll always claim Orange County. They all make a point to say how much they like Disney and Newport though.  The Christmas lights turn on tomorrow! I think we are more excited about that than we are actual Christmas. This also means that our schedule changes  from 6:30-10:30   to   7:30-11:30.   But church and relief society still   start at 7:45  on Sundays and Wednesdays so pray for us and our lack of sleep. I'm gonna be honest Thanksgiving is probably my least favorite holiday. I don't eat a ton of food, I'm not a fan of pie, stuffing or yams but I love the attitude of being grateful. Gratitu...
