Happy Monday to
you as well! I also have a hard time believing that it has already rolled
around again. Time really does fly! Only two more weeks until my birthday!
Although, if I was to adopt Chris’s birthday celebrating method (which isn’t
really a bad idea) my birthday month would start in just one week! Yay. :) Grandpa’s birthday
(and mine too I suppose, but mostly his :)
sounds like it will be quite the party. Take lots of pictures! And I appreciate
the pictures you are going to take of the wedding too! I still haven’t gotten
an invitation. Did you send me one? Sounds like Washington is getting pretty
nice. Sun, blue skies and 60 degrees, huh? That’s pretty similar to here too.
Sun, blue skies, and…oh wait, 80 degrees. :)
As for hiking though, I sent a box home that has my camlebak in it so you can
use that! You’ll have to empty out all my letters though. Don’t get rid of
anything that is in there please! I’m glad you mapped out how far I biked, I
wanted to know. No shortcuts were taken. :)
It was fun! I like biking!

03.17.2014 - Otro Traslado Se Fue!!!
My week has been
great! Hmm…I wonder how many of my e-mails start out saying that same thing! I
need to get more creative. :)
But it’s true! My week has been just wonderful. Last Monday we had an activity
with all of the sisters at the Nattress house and it was so fun! I just love
them. :) One
of the ladies who normally feeds us food shared a really amazing story that she
had from her mission. She had a good mission experience, but she had never
really felt like her service made that much of a difference. Now 20 years later
she received and e-mail that changed her perspective. She served in Hong Kong
and talked to loads of people every day and didn’t remember most of them after
she talked with them. But she got an e-mail from someone that she had talked to
on the street. He told her that he had been searching for her for years. He
remembered that day that he had talked to her and he told her that it was what
started his journey to being baptized. He was baptized in London and his wife
was baptized in Hong Kong on the same day and she also remembered this sister
and said that she was the reason that she was baptized. How awesome is that?!
And now they are married and sealed in the temple and I think he’s a bishop
right now. So cool. You just never know the influence and the impact that you have on those around you…never know the
seeds you plant.
03.10.2014 - Happy Birthday to Liz and Jadyn!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ AND JADYN!!!! Did you get my
birthday cards? I sure hope so. :)
I’m glad to hear that you had such a great time at Disneyland/California
Adventure/Hollywood/Laguna Beach. What a trip that was! I sure liked it when we
did it! Although, the water wasn’t that warm when we went! But I swam in it
anyway. :) I
can empathize with you having a hard time getting out of bed to exercise this
morning. We wake up at 5:40 to go play soccer at the church for an hour and
sometimes it feels entirely too early. But it’s fun so we keep on doing it! I
can’t believe that Grandpa will be 90 and I will be 20!!! That’s just insane. It’s
about time. :)
One more month and I’m no longer a teenager! I already don’t feel like one
though…age is just a number, right?? As for a picture…is it supposed to be just
me? Or he and I together? The picture of me with him and Althea the day I
reported to the MTC is a good one and that would be fine.
03.03.2014 - Weddings, Weddings ... So Many Weddings
I hope you are
having a wonderful time in Disneyland! Try not to get heatstroke. :) Maybe if Jadyn says
that she is just too hot, you can buy her a pair of shorts? ;) That probably would
have helped me last time…but oh well! I guess it made it more memorable for us.
I can’t believe how close the wedding is, but I’m glad to hear that
preparations for it are going well. Promise me to take LOTS and LOTS of
pictures! That way it’ll be like I was there. OR, maybe a better plan, last
minute location change to the Gilbert temple?? It’s dedicated and they already
have 100 weddings booked for March and 100 more for the following months. I’m
sure they could squeeze Ben and Kate in. J
Food for thought.
02.24.2014 - Crossfit is Huge Here
My week has been so good! Send that video my way! I’d
love to see it :) I’m
glad to hear that things are going well with getting ready for the wedding! I
can’t believe how soon it is! That means my birthday is coming right up too ;) Crossfit
is huge here! Well, actually maybe it’s not that big, but I sure notice it a
lot. I met a guy on Saturday who owns his own Crossfit gym. I’ll do it with you
when I get back! About the temple details…the cultural celebration is this Saturday
at 7:00 pm and it is going to be so cool! There are over 13,000 youth
participating. I think they might be putting it on BYU channel?? You should
check and see. Then the dedication is on Sunday and Thomas S. Monson will be
doing it!!!! So cool!!!!
