SuNdAy FuNdAy

Hello blogging world! its been a while....
Okay maybe like a week, but still this past week has felt like 2 months!
Really i worked so much at both of my jobs, but it good to be busy it makes time go by faster.
Also it makes me appreciate sundays so much more. IT totally is my day of rest for sure!
It really is my favorite day of the week!
 i get to sleep in, get to go to church, get to do laundry which i hate but, oh well.
 I get to eat food and wear sweats all day and not do my hair. which is my favorite thing to do. So sundays are seriously the best! Also i get to email nicky poo every sunday night! Its crazy how much changes over a span of 5 months! So many things happen! Even just in a month! Like for instance.
Guess who is finally being a grown up and moving out of the house! YUP this girl is! WHOO! I am moving into the riv! in PROVO! for the summer, hopefully it will be good! I thought to myself with my 2 best girlfriends both planning on going on missions i am going to need some new friends. maybe some that don't all leave on missions. It will be a good change for me! to get out and see what its like to live the " college life!" Its also dirt cheap so i don't mind at all! I don't  really like to spend a lot of money on things when i know i can get it for cheap. ( thank you dad for that. )
 It will also help me learn how to live with 5 other girls! What I'm i going to do... ha i already have a hard time getting a long with girls. Probably because i tell everyone how it is and well if you are a girl you know how girls are.
So this will for sure be a good change.
Change is hard, but its good!
anyways i'm going to bed so tired,
peace out girl scout.
Love

Day 4 in mexico Rainy :(

So what do you do in mexico on a rainy day???
you still go swimming.
because out of all the pools here there is one heated!
So you go swimming, maybe do you hair for once. which really is funny with me because if you ask anyone that knows me i never do my hair..... never. ever.
Which is Crazy because I'm in beauty school.
Anyways back to the main reason.
Ha i decided to blog because it has been raining here all day in mexico!
All day!
When you share a room with 4 people, you really don't want to be stuck in the room all day! I mean don't get me wrong i don't mind sharing a room.
But when its you 2 boys and another girl. Interesting things happen.... like.....
 1. boys shave and leave there hair in the sink which is very gross. 
 2. There is no fan in the bathroom or air freshener... well you all know where thats going.
  3. Sharing beds we have a king size and 2 singles. 
  4. Sharing a bed with the girl is not that bed but we switched to the singles last night and Definitely not as comfy has the king size. 
  5. Boys complain about the beds because they are to big or just picky about the bed. 
  6. I have know clue how i am ever going to get married and share with a boy all the time ( i guess i will love that boy very much. ) 
Okay i'm done with my little rant...
I actually i'm having so much fun in mexico! i love the beach and the sun! Totally my two favorite things ever! Really happy to be out of freezing utah! SO all you utah people i'm very sorry you are sitting in the freezing cold when i am in the beautiful sun!


                               Just a little bit of mexico... took this the first day, but i promise i am tan!


                Just to add a little bit! nick ^^^^^^ up there is doing pretty good! 
He just got a new companion! American i think, i mean davis seems pretty american name?

That's All today folks :)

When life gets hard >)>)>)>)>)

Having a missionary is probably one of the hardest thing any girl or boy, or family could go through. Also you HONESTLY don't know what its like unless you have had one. IT really has been hard with nick gone, but honestly one of the best experiences ever. I'm so proud that he went and really just amazed by him and all missionaries in general! I have no clue what they go through everyday, but thank you to all you missionaries out there who serve the lord and are changing the world to be a better place.  
This is a poem that my friend found and well i stole it from her! Its sorta long but, read it! Send it to all the missionaries you know and I'm sure they will love it! 
Thank you nick! 
The alarm rings at 6:30; I stumble to my feet. 
I grab my companion's bedding and pull off his sheet. 
A groan fills the room, is it already time to arise? 
It seems like just a second ago I was able to shut my eyes. 

The morning activities follow - study, prayer, and such. 
When it's time to leave the apartment, you feel you haven't accomplished much. 
"We have a super day planned," my comp says with a grin. 
I lowly utter a faithless breath, "Yeah, if anyone lets us in." 

With the word of God and my faithful Schwinn, we ride off in the street 
Prepared to face another day of humidity and heat. 
It's 9:30 in the evening, the day is almost through; 
My companion and I are riding home, not accomplishing what we thought to do. 

We ride up to the mailbox, hoping to receive a lot. 
Only to look inside and hear my echo reverberate "Air Box." 
We go up to our apartment, the day is now complete. 
The only thing to show for our work is a case of blistery feet. 

It's past 10:30 PM, my companion is fast asleep. 
Silence engulfs me all about and I begin to weep. 
In the midst of sadness, I kneel down to pray; 
I need to talk to Father, but I'm not sure what to say. 

"Oh, Father," I begin, "What happened to us today? 
I thought we'd teach somebody, but everyone was away. 
My hands, my aching hands - worn, hurt and beat; 
If our area was any smaller, we'd have knocked every street." 

"Why on missions are the days so much alike? 
The only difference about today was the flat tire on my bike. 
Will you send some cooler weather? The heat is killing me. 
I sweat so bad, it gets in my eyes; It's very hard to see." 

"Why do I have to wear a helmet, isn't your protection enough? 
People always laugh at me and call me stupid stuff. 
Please send us investigators so I may give them what they lack; 
I want to give them Books of Mormon, the weight of them hurts my back." 

"And what about my family? They don't have much to say, 
I'm sick of not hearing from home, day after day after day. 
Oh Father, why am I here, am I just wasting time? 
Sometimes I just want to go home, I'm sorry but that's on my mind." 

"My companion, Heavenly Father, what are you giving me? 
The way he rides his bicycle, I don't think he can see. 
Now you have it, I can't go on, I don't know what to do; 
That, my Father in Heaven, is the prayer I have for You." 

My prayer now finished I stand up, then jump right into bed. 
I need my rest for tomorrow; we have another long day ahead. 
Sleep starts to overtake me, I seem to drift away, 
Then it seems a vision takes me to another time and another day. 

I'm standing alone on the hill, the view is very nice; 
A man walks towards me and says, "My name is Jesus Christ." 
Tears of joy well up inside, I fall down to His feet, 
"Arise," He states, "Follow Me to the shade - you and I need to speak." 

My attention's toward the Savior, total and complete. 
He says, "Your mission is similar of what happened to Me, 
I understand how you feel, I know what you're going through; 
In fact it would be fair to say I've felt the same as you." 

"I even know how you felt when no one listened to you. 
At times I felt not quite sure what else I could do. 
I know you don't like to ride a bicycle, for you a car would be sweet; 
Just remember the donkey I rode wasn't equipped with 21 speeds." 

"I understand you don't like sweating, in fact it's something you hate; 
I remember when I sweat blood from every pore, oh the agony was great! 
I see you don't like your companion - you'd rather have someone else. 
I once had a companion named Judas who sold my life for wealth." 

"It's hard to wear a helmet and have people make fun of you. 
I remember when they put thorns on my head and called me King of the Jews. 
So you feel burdened down by the weight of your pack. 
I recall how heavy the cross was when they slammed it on my back." 

"Your hands hurt from tracting and knocking on doors all day. 
I guess when they pounded nails into mine, I ached in a similar way. 
It's hard not to hear from home when your family's not there to see; 
I lost my communication on the cross and cried, "Father, why hast Thou forsaken Me." 

He embraced me with His arms, His light filled me with His love, 
With tears in my eyes I watched as He went back to the Father above. 
I stood with awe and wonder when a beep rang in my head, 
I listened and heard the alarm, then realized I was in my bed. 

My companion let out a groan, "6:30 already, no way!" 
I sat up and said, "Come on, I'll even carry your scriptures today!"
No matter what we go through, when we feel we can't take more,
Just stop and think about Jesus Christ, He has been there before.
I really don't know what i would do without the gospel in my life! Just remember he is always there for you! Missionaries we are thinking about you and you are always in our prayers! 
Nick Be a strong missionary i know you can do it! 
Love
