day 255

this week was a good one. hopefully p-day won't be as uneventful as last weeks but we did get a hair cut and i look smokin!!! naa I'm just jokin but it does feel very nice to do something to my hair instead of just comb it to the side. we met with a lady who had met with missionaries before but just never really stayed in one place for the missionaries to teach her so we are going to teach her on wed and hopefully we can get a baptismal date set before she leaves school. we are still on track with our one investigator who is going to be baptized on the 22 of April. he is so solid! he is now trying to already talk to his family about reading the book of Mormon. he has a twin brother that is at this same school and he is asking his brother (the investigator) questions and he is answering them! super crazy! as this last Sunday was fast and testimony meeting i was able to get up and share my testimony with the ward and i testified about the atonement and how the sacrament with that is able to clean our souls of the misdeeds and things that we didn't do that we should have done. i felt an overwhelming feeling as i prayed to Heavenly Father that as there is a grieving process the atonement should be a happy time because it means that we are able to be clean and be on the path that leads to eternal life. i know that our savior would want us to look at it as a happy and joyful time. i am so thankful for His atonement and what he made possible for every. single. person. i love you mom and dad and i am so thankful that you led me on the right path so that i can have a knowledge of the marvelous and beautiful plan of our Heavenly Father.

i am so stoked for general conference! i can't wait! this will be my second one since i have been out! i just turned 8 months on the 20th of this month and momma my click day in April which will be on when........?   YOUR BIRTHDAY!!! haha just thought that would be funny. :) i am not doing so great at writing in my journal. i need to really start following up with that and writing every night.

oh man!! i can't wait to see that movie!!!! (hunger games) i have seen the magazines while shopping of the hunger games movie! so stoked!!! um i think spring might have been for every one. not just college. cause there were a lot of families gone during that time.

thank you so much for your comments about spending and investing time. our zone conference was super powerful and i just felt the need to share that with you all.
