A sadness that has turned to happiness

I had a hard time not to long ago with missing my missionary...
It has been hard. One of the hardest things that I have done. It is hard when half of you is gone... But I have come to realize that no matter where he is I am not alone. He is always there for me and I should always remember it. He loves me, I know because he has shown it to me and he has told me. I have felt it. Love is one of the greatest blesssings to have in life. I have that. That makes me ineffably lucky.
I love him.

The Mission... Just around the corner

As you know.. I have been working on my mission papers. (YAY!) I thought I would give you all an update on things..

I have gotten all my medical stuff done. ( 3 shots and blood drawn was not very fun..) I need to fill a few more things out and they will be in to my president. He will look throught them and then they go to the stake president. That is very exciting. And nerve wracking at the same time. Once I get my call I can go to the temple.. that is what lingers most in my mind. THE TEMPLE. Funny story.. So I went to get my medical stuff and Dr. Thompson was excited for me! So much that he has been the FIRST PERSON to guess where I will be called.. his guess: Washington DC! So I think we should start guessing where I will be going.. Hehe..

I have the greatest blessing of an amazing home ward. I was able to go last last sunday and bear my testimony to them and I could feel their love. I have so much support from them that it brought me to tears. It was a great feeling. They all want to chip in and help me for my mission. What more can I ask for?

This are going great. I have come to learn that as we do what is right and asked of us the blessing will just pour down. The lord knows us and what we do and what is in our hearts. I know he knows my heart. I love this gospel.. I still have so much more to go before i am even close to being ready.. but its time to go forward and do it. He loves me..

Updates... and so much more!!

So... here I am. I am alive. hahah I come to you from Ponderosa! Where most of you know I have been since about June. It has been great. I have many more stories, memories, and friends than I did before. I love it. I have the Lewis' to thank for this. :)

I worked in housekeeping and front desk here. Housekeeping is.... HARD! Wow. Try cleaning 6 or more big mountain homes in less than 8 hours.. yeah. HARD. Some had like 5 bathrooms. Who needs 5 bathrooms ya know?! Ha. Beautiful homes tho.. If I could buy one.. it would be 704 or 750. My favorites. Another thing with housekeeping.. CHEMICALS. never have I ever wanted to get high.. hahah but here you do even if you dont want to, that asidrufoam gets to ya! Once... Me and Sarah were cleaning and stuff.. then we were doing beds in 704 and went off!! You should have seem us... me could not stop laughing... it was crazy.. I swear I think I saw butterflies that day or something. Good good times.

Front desk is another thing, as much as i love my girls in housekeeping.. (and boys.. ha) front desk is better. I just am such a people person and i like dealing with them. We gets lots of foreign people here. I have had the chance of speaking spanish a lot of the times and it has been great. But every once in a while you get the BAD PEOPLE... yeah. I hope none of you out there are the BAD PEOPLE when you go places. ITs hard to deal with you. Haha..

So this place is also about fun, we play as hard as we work. I have camped in teepees... riden 4 wheelers... gone horseback ridin... been burnt from too much time in the pool... gone on amazing hikes... rapelled... its been great. Good times and memories.
