I get to host The Easter pageant!!!!!!!!!!

That basically sounds like the best week of all existence! I want to take dance classes with my husband!! And then host THE GREAT FREAKIN GATSBY! (What connections do you have?)I guess  I should get a husband. But I'm too focused on missionarying, which sometimes includes us praying nightly that one of our member's daughters will all get married. She gave us a bunch of healthy food and eating tips to help keep us in shape and healthy and lively and happy! But she is basically amazing and we couldn't think of anything else to do for her or figure out what she needs other then getting her daughters married. That's it that's all she wants so........that's a focus. Normal?  I love this lady, it's nice when their are some women that will take care of me when you're stuck over on the east coast.

  I am glad the package got there safe and sound. I hope it was a satisfactory birthday gift. I JUST LOVE YOU. And yes I got Nanny's letter. Tell her thank you, and I will write her back soon.

General conference was the amazingggg!!!! Of all the best things that could happen. this. Is. THE. BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think my favorite part of it was the talk about the Olympics. I really want to perform my best in the four minutes I've been given. It's just crazy! Just four minutes and I have to do better than I am able to and work hard and be fast. I really hope I trained myself before this life to really be ready. I think I am doing almost alright. The Lord is always there to give my loads to help my truck push along too. I loved that talk too from Bednar. He's one of my absolute favorites. Him and Holland. I LOVE WHEN HE YELLS AT ME. That was a fantastic way to start out conference. He made me want to be more courteous and patient but weirdly also hated. It was interesting. I want to be more Christlike, and I want to declare the truth loud enough that the wicked know who I stand for and can't handle it. Yet I just want to love them like President Monson said, too. That was one of my favorite parts-oh my goodness, it's likely related or something.

Did you know, or realize or whatever that it was a year ago that I decided to go on a mission? It was fabulous. I like to getting to think about how much things have changed in just a year. I know that I can definitely understand the spirit a whole lot better, which is what I was begging my Heavenly Father for the last annual Conference. He's blessed me so hard! I just want to be better and better all the time! I like getting to study so much. You're right, I need to do better too about studying preach my gospel. I get really kind of caught up in trying to read the Book of Mormon for an hour straight because I just love it so much. But I know I can love preach my gospel like that too. I'm working on my issues of balance. Right now we're actually really focused on this packet that Pres. Jenkins gave us about the Atonement. He put together a study schedule for to prep us for Easter!! It's full of a bunch of talks and scriptures and everything of prophets' testimonies of the Savior and the plan of Salvation, and some other talks about that sort of thing. It's amazing, I LOVE EASTER, and why didn't I realize that you and Jesus Christ have birthdays so close together? It must be because you're so similar. Oh and Sister Smith says hi and happy birthday. I hope you have another fantastic week!! I LOVE YOU

 I got to hold and release a dove the other day! On April fools I did not get a chance to play a trick on the elders and am disappointed with myself thoroughly. We reviewed some training for the Easter Pageant!! I can't believe I get to host this!  I have never seen any of the pageants, and I'm never really so involved in cool things, Heavenly Father is really blessing me and wants me to do fun things. I get to host The  Easter pageant!!!!!!!!!! We got to talk to some fun people, street contacting and whatnot, we have some pretty solid potential investigators.  Therefore, everything is worth it. It kind of helps make it okay that a couple of people slam the door in our faces this week. I liked Elder Holland's talk a lot and made me realize that Christ wept for the rejection, I feel like it was part of the Atonement. I don't have to be hurt or upset when I am rejected. It's not ok. They are denying the Savior of the world and that is sad and awful, but I can press forward and not be phased too much, so that I can focus on finding the person who is begging for help. Conference really was wonderful. I was so excited and more attentive than I ever have been, and just want to be better and prepared for trials and to be more grateful anyway. I love The Lord!!! I just want to be a better person! And I know that I'm a lot better than I used to be. We're all great and I try to be obedient and that's good, but I want to always get better. (: for forever!
