Already?


If you've put up with my emails all this time, I'm incredibly proud because sometimes I look back and think... Wow. I said that? 

But anyway, this is the last one! I fly home on Friday! So thanks for putting up with me, supporting me, reading all my lame emails..... I really appreciate it. 

The past couple weeks have been nothing but busy, and I'm grateful for that lol. We got to visit the Colorado National Monument last pday, if you've never been I highly recommend it. It's very very pretty and also serves as a fantastic reminder of God's hand and how much power He has if He was able to make something as huge and as beautiful as that. I'd been before, but it was my companions first time and I wish you all could have seen her reactions! (she's from Maryland)

We did lots of work on Facebook this week, we tried to get thrown into Facebook jail (when you send too many friend requests/messages so they lock you out for a day or two). Despite sending nearly 100 friend requests between the both of us and just about as many messages in the space of two hours, neither of us were locked down 😎 

I'm so so grateful for these last 18 months that I got to serve! It feels so weird to be at the end, but I know that I served the mission God intended for me to serve (even though it wasn't necessarily what I PLANNED, it all worked out). God lives! He loves us all and has a plan for everyone. If you want to hear a bit more about what I've learned, come to my homecoming talk on the 19th

Love you all!! Here's some pictures for your viewing enjoyment

Wings of lightning....

I finally took pictures this week so I have something to show you guys!  This week was insane and probably one of the best weeks of my mission so far. Here are some highlights: -It POURED rain out of nowhere (gotta love monsoon season I guess) lots of lightning too  -We pulled weeds and it was super muddy hahaa - Someone had QUAIL and gave us some pickled quail eggs and also a FAT zucchini. (we made muffins using the zucchini)  - There was a church building in Fruita (nearby city) that was burned down a couple months ago (arsen) and they just announced last night that the church was just going to bulldoze the property and not rebuild it for a couple years.... That was sad news but its okay.  And my FAVORITE part of this week was teaching Neena. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith and she was just in awe. We asked if she believed it, and she said she did so we invited her to be baptized. She picked her own date (August 15th) and she was so excited ...

Thoughts on bees...

This week was crazy long. but today I just want to tell you about some bees I don't like bees. They are loud and they sting and we eat their vomit.... Nasty. They are just not my favorite bug at all.  Someone in our ward is a beekeeper. He was showing all the 8-11 year old girls how the honey was made, and we were invited (because inwardly, we are 8 years old). He showed us the bee boxes, and explained how they worked. A couple things I learned: All the bees you see are female. The male bees rarely leave the hive Male bees don't have stingers. They have about a 5 mile radius Every batch of honey tastes a little different, depending on the flowers they visited And many other random facts. And you know what? The more I learned about those bees, the less I hated them. At the end, a bee just about flew into my face, but I hardly flinched. They were just happy, little innocent insects minding their own business, working their little butts off and making that honey for us to enjoy. M...
