The gospel is true, the book is blue. And Moroni is on a ball

To Daddy: I love Fort Bragg!! Well....ya know. It was cool for a little while. I
miss being a youth and randomly wish I could go back to then, yet
still have the knowledge and personality I have now to make back then
even better. I thought about that a lot this weekend, when we got to
watch the cultural celebration  for the Gilbert temple. Ooooooo my
heck! Have you ever seen a cultural celebration?! I know the youth
completely put it on themselves and it was absolutely magnificent!!
And guess what! IT RAINED!! It looked beautiful. The one day it's
rained this year, the youth got to perform in it and they were so
happy and so good and I just love youth so much and I wish I could
have actually been there and I cried just a little and also it was
raining here and I got to wear my rain boots(: everyone was all
like...you brought rain boots to Arizona? And I'm like heck yes!! I
splashed in so many dang puddles and it was the bomb. Everyone did
think they were cute and I wore them a couple of days to get as much
use out of them as possible. They were jelly.(jealous)
I have so many clothes!! All the missionaries give their stuff away,
and I'll do that At the end of my mission too....but that's forever
away....except not really!! 5 months!! What the hecks! I hope I've
changed a lot, because it feels like I have. I mean, I just hope it's
things that will stick with me even when I'm not a missionary. I
wonder what things I've been blessed with specifically as the Lords
servant and what things I've actually developed and get to keep...like
my sense of direction. It's so good when I drive now! And I understand
the scriptures so much better and my prayers get more immediate
answers. I've been lead to so many places at the exact time I am
needed and remember to do important things and feel the Spirit guiding
me all the time. I wish I could always be worthy of that! Anyway. I
like being a missionary. And I like you !! Jk I love you!!

To Madre:

I had a fantastic week for sure!! Well, some of it. I went to a funeral to support a

family and it was sad but beautiful. It was really nice to be there because we've 

gotten pretty close to the family in just 3 visits....music does that. Also we left the 

mission for it. We brought back our district leader and his companion some rocks

 from outer darkness. I think they really appreciated it. Secretly. I really like being 

a missionary because it's so much easier to be friends with people 

(other missionaries) because you can't be left out and everyone is under 

obligation to be Christlike and nice lol

Also when you're a. Missionary and your companion is really sick and sleeps in an hour and things are pushed back a little and by 11 o'clock you're freaking out begging to go somewhere because you've been cooped up in the apartment too long....yup, that's suddenly me. Also, to keep myself sane I was cleaning everything for fun. Lol we made a butt ton of orange juice and lemonade all day today so hopefully the citrus will get us healthy.

The dedication was sooooo good!! ! Well I liked the cultural celebration even more though. I told daddy about it and you can share that together. But the dedication was amazing too. We got ourselves green cards and sat through the very very cold hour and a half dedication. My favorite part was the placing of the mortar. The prophet is so cute!! I love him so much. He makes me want to be goofy like myself my whole life. We went to two sessions (so I had both of my Hankies) to be there with a new member for one and it was just so exciting to see a building suddenly become the Lord's house. And...problem though. secretly there was a less active boy we are working with who asked for the first time when church was. Actually that happened a lot thinks week. A ton of people finally wanted to come to church and regular meetings weren't even being held!! A little boy outside in the neighborhood actually was begging us to be a Mormon asking where and when church was and of course it's like......you're not allowed to come this week!! 

I Love the temple too! We got to go on Thursday. it feels like we go of the time, yet it is never enough period I love how much it strengthens my testimony. It's like it becomes more solidified every time I go to the temple. 

I know that it is been helping me a lot with my communication with the spirit is well. we were lead to many places just exactly where and when we needed to be, this week. We were lead by the spirit multiple times when we are about to go see a couple of families, 

I do miss Zumba. I was not very good at it that it is such good exercise. I really like being able to exercise. But unfortunately I also really like food. Speaking of which I'm about to go make some garlic butter cheese biscuits! Wish me luck :D
