I love this gospel!

One of my favorite things about serving a mission is the extra spirit I have when I teach. I love the feeling I get when I open my mouth and I can feel the spirit working through me, expecially in a language I don't understand! This is seriously the most amazing time in my life! When I get home, I am extremely exhausted! It takes about 2 seconds after my head hits the pillow to fall asleep! Most of the time, I don't even make it in the covers!

I have experienced every kind of emotion and find myself turning to my Father in Heaven more than I ever have before! It is amazing to only worry about my investigators and the people here and how I'm going to help them have the gospel in their lives! I love the spanish program! It is amazing that I am somehow able to contact these people in a language I have only been speaking for 12 weeks. I am so blessed!!! I love this gospel!!!

My Mission Is Amazing!

President and Sister Jardine. It was their 1 year mark. They are amazing . I love them!!!

This is our AWESOME Zone!

We had a great week and an awesome UNITY DAY! It was fun to be together with the entire mission. We met and played sports in the morning, had lunch, talent show and unity activity, then President will tells us about our transfers. We have been working all week with early morning and evening practices for our part on the mission talent show. It was a lot of fun, I was proud of our Zone, they all got into it! I will be staying in the same area, my comp and I will be training a new sister. She is from Bluffdale, a dental hygienist. She is going to be amazing to work with!

Happy Fathers Day!

Dad and I at the airport!

Thanks Dad for everything! I love you so much and hope you enjoy your fathers day! Sorry you do not get a phone call! Thanks for helping me become the person I am today, for supporting me with the greatest experience in my life! Not a day goes by that I don't regret my decision to serve a mission. It has been the most incredible journey! Every morning when that stupid alarm goes off, I can't help but be happy it does! I love you DAD!

A Great Sunday in the Mission Field!

Sunday was a very strange missionary sunday! It felt like a real Sunday! We had cheesy potatoe casserole (funeral potatoes) for lunch -first time for my companion!, We had a sunday nap (short but good), A Sunday drive (we got lost in the country), and even a sunday visit from Sister Jardine. She brought strawberries and chocolate and we all had a good talk!

Hanging out in Stockton!

Some fun people in our ward

Fathers Day Program!

Cultural Dance!

Here is just a quick update! I am really loving being in the Spanish Ward! They really know how to party! We had a Fathers Day Activity, they killed a beef for the dinner. I felt like I was at the M.C.C. (Mexican Cultural Center)! There was a fashion show with beautiful dresses from their countries. Then they all did a dance together. After, the highlight of the night was when they all came out and did a dance from Pakistan! It was...well, a belly dance! I think the fathers enjoyed the performance! It did not end there, thats when the dancing began! We enjoyed watching! It was hard not to dance!
