happy, happy, happy

Oh my gosh i am just so happy right now! Even though i wish i could be there with all of you for all these exciting times!! But i believe mom when she says it will all be made up to me one day. :) And the joy i feel here just makes it even better! CONGRATS JADE AND RYLIE!! So so happy for you guys! And my family is just the most gorgeous family i've ever seen, even in the desert. :) Love you and miss you all!!
This week was good! It went by fast. We are still teaching all of our investigators and finally got to meet with (I) again! She is so strong for only being 16, she really wants this decision to be for the rest of her life and not go inactive in a year or later. Which is amazing and we are so glad she understands! All of the others are progressing little by little. We continue to see tender mercies daily, its just a given. :) We were able to help Hna. V with english this week. We went to her work to help her, she works at a flower place and she knows i love flowers so she made a bouqet for me! It was adorable. I told her she has to make my wedding bouquet, and she says "all the way in utah??" and i said yep! :) Then she told me i'm going to have a bunch of little mormon babies. haha. We visited a less active woman i kept feeling like we should go see...so we finally got an appointment set up with her. Its amazing how the spirit leads us to those who need us and God in their lives more. She said she really needed us there that day, she sang hymns to us and had us sing to her. (yes my voice is still awful.) It was super cute! At church yesterday i had another organ problem...i was just up there playing and like NO ONE sings. So pretty much i just play 4 musical numbers every Sunday. Anyways...i was playing the song and all the sudden it just like holds out the last note i played like super loud and just kept going!! I was like what the?! So i scramble a little then just shut it off. Oh heavens...it was a tad embarrassing. Then in RS i started playing and Sister Porter started leading before we were suppose to and the RS president was like wait not yet! Oh those missionary moments....
So last night we had really cool experience! Along with using Facebook we are aloud to Skype or Facetime or whatever to teach! So sister porters older brother has been less active for like 6 years...so we got to start teaching him last night! It was so special! Its amazing how the Lord is using all the things he can in these days for missionary work. Its just more and more of a testimony to me that this gospel is true!
Well i love you all and i'm so happy for all of you! You guys are the best! Have a good week!!

moments that matter most


I love the message this video gives! If we could all take a step back and look at what really matters most, we would all appreciate and enjoy life much more. I have noticed when I enjoy every moment I can and notice the little moments in my life...I am much, much happier.
