Haha. Alright, alright! I'll send a picture or something!

I've been avoiding that because I look like an orphan child most days. Sorry mom. But hey! Good news. My hair is growing super crazy long because I never straighten or blow it dry...

Thank you for the Daughters Day stuff!!!!!! I loved it. It was such a blessing because it came on a day that we were having a rough day. And then on Sunday night we ate our Daughters Day cookies driving home :) Thank you! You guys are so good to me :)

So, there are miracles like everyday. And I always have a million that I want to tell you about. But here is one. So my companion and I are in charge of going up to Battleground. It's like 20 minutes away so whenever we go there we usually try to stay the whole day or schedule lessons up there on the same day to save miles. We had a lesson on Friday during our studies so we planned to go to the lesson and then study outside a church building and do weekly planning after the lesson up there instead of driving home. We finished the lesson and on the way to the church it started raining! We pulled up at the church at the exact same time as two sets of English Elders from Battleground arrived to do a quick exchange in the parking lot and leave. They had a key to the church so they opened it for us to study inside and left. They were there for approximately 30 seconds. The exact 30 seconds that we got there. Crazy stuff.

OK, Yesterday. BEST DAY EVER.

Yesterday we got the program and everything figured out for Mara's baptism. So excited!!! Her baptism is this Saturday. AHHH. Amazing AMAZING person. I absolutely LOVE her and her family. They have the cutest little kids. When we were leaving yesterday they were like, "Can you stay longer?!" "Ummm, ya can I stay forever?!" Love them. Esmeralda, Mara's daughter, is singing 'Families Can Be Together Forever' at the baptism, so when we go over there we practice with her. She's so excited.

So my favorite Book of Mormon story is Alma 59-61. I totally remember reading this story together with our family when we were reading the Book of Mormon together and I remember dad acting it out or "rephrasing it" so we understood what was happening. haha. The story is about how Moroni is kinda totally mean to Pahoran in his letter and then Pahoran is totally cool. "And now, in your epistle you have censured me, but it mattereth not; I am not angry, but do rejoice in the greatness of your heart..." Trying to apply this in my life. I want to be more like Pahoran.

Life is great! Don't even worry about me. I love you all!
