18 days left

haha yeah this week was good. lots of visiting members. it takes a while to have everyone on board with what the missionaries are wanting to do. as well as visiting them and having a time work for us to go visit with them and give them a message. 

well i do have to say that i have been having dreams about playing soccer and i can tell you that i am so excited to come back a get back into shape. i know i only have 18 days left but i can't let it get to me and frankly it hasn't been a big problem on my mind. prolly cause it hasn't hit me yet that i go home in just a few short weeks. can't believe it. anyway...

i can't believe that brandon will be with the LA Clippers!!! thats sick!!!! 

actually i have met mark. he was there with sheryl at my setting apart. i got to meet him then but only briefly cause of the confusion of going on a mission and the mind set i was in at that time. haha i apologize for that and hope i can be some what of a better nephew when i get home. ;) haha but are they staying in our house while i'll be there? cause if so i can always sleep outside while they are there. build my self a cake or somesing. or a fire and sleep on a cot in a tent in the patio. that'd be sweet. :) 

well thats about it for me! i love you so much!

love

questions:

did you get to watch the worldwide missionary conference? last sunday? june 22?  

yeah i did. they required all the missionaries in the world or they said that it was really important that we be there. so we watched it and it was awesome!!! the way we are moving right along with the world in using our resources and using them for good in the world unlike the world using them for filth and terrible things but i am happy that the bretheren are able to relate to the youth today because that is truly where our future lies right now. that is why the age for missionaries have been lowered and the hastening/sped up process of the work of salvation. i know what was said there was inspired and was pondered and thought out very carefully. 

best thing this week?  

best thing this week was probably being able to pray for our mission president and getting the same feeling i got when i usually prayed for our mission president and i know that we will just take off running!!! im so excited for our zone conference tomorrow. i will be giving my going home testimony tomorrow as well. 

pday stuff today? 

we will be playing soccer again!!!!!! WOOHOO it'll be with some 13 year olds but still it's soccer! they play for the nation wide team the rush. i think we used to play them back home as well. 

how is your new president?  president jensen?  did you kinda smile at that?  

haha i did when you commented on it. silly momma. :) haha we haven't met him yet. we will tomorrow.
