OH WE'RE HALF WAY THERE, OH, LIVING ON A PRAYER
take my hand and we'll make it i swear!

so basically i am over the hump, thats how the expression goes. i have now been out for more than a year! how strange is that. i have been thinking a lot about this time last year and all of the crazy emotions that were racing through my head. wow. thank you all for being the greatest family i could ever ask for. you have helped me stay out here in the mission field. and i can t thank you enough. 

we went to the temple on tuesday! it was so great. i loved it so much. i felt the spirit like crazy and i am sad that the temple is now closed for a year and a half for reconstruction. the next time we see the temple it will be totally different. how neat is that going to be.

so we had to get a new car this week. our car was a recall car so we had to take her in and get a new one. we got a nissan altima and lets just say there is a little bit more power in this bad unit that the chevy cruz. yeah it is pretty great. i was driving and thought i was pretty cool so i gave her a little more juice. and then there was a truck next to me. we were both speeding not too bad on my part. but then i saw a cop and i dramatically slowed down. and on went his lights. oh no!!! but wait he pulled over the truck and not me! haha yes justice.... kind of .. haha but i had to do some repenting and now i follow the speed limit. to exactness. but yeah that is my story.

thank you so much for the birthday gifts and other such things you are all so very kind. still havent got your package mom and dad but i think it will come soon.

mom you will love this story. so we went on an exchange with the zone leaders and all 4 of us slept at their apartment. so as we were preparing for bed i offered everyone a bit of coconut oil and lavender to put on their faces and pillows. so i got everyone to do it. and then the next day they all asked me if they could do it again haha. success mother!!! i thought you might like that story. 

this weekend we had stake conference. it was kind of cool because it was broadcasted from salt lake to all of canada. how cool is that. President Eyring and elder Holland were there. it was very good. they talked a lot about missionary work and how we can all be better in sharing out testimonies. 

this last week a member called us and offered to have one of our investigators over at his house and we could all watch a movie. we watched how rare a possession. it was really cool. the member is a great missionary and derek really liked the movie.

look at the beauty that i am surrounded by. how great are these shots. i am quite pleased that i was able to catch them before they disappeared. 

and did you know they offer cremation for animals? apparently it is a pretty big sea

thank you all so much for all you have done for me. the gifts the prayers the jokes. all of them help me out so soso much. you are all my favorite people and i thank you again. i love you all.
