This Is It

I'm leaving tomorrow!

So....this is the last post from me, and I really don't have much to say.

Good luck to you all in the next 18 months. Don't do anything stupid ;)

The Church is True!

Ok. That's all.

Love,

Preach My Gospel

So, before you enter the MTC, you get a letter telling you to go to this website and watch some episodes of "The District" hahaha. I think it's way funny.

Anyway, I watched all 6 episodes and guess what?! I am SO excited to leave! I was so missionary oriented when I turned in my mission papers, but I have spent the last 3.5 months preparing for the physical needs of my mission, that I haven't thought much about the spiritual part where I actually, you know, share the Gospel. Does that make me a bad person? Maybe. But watching those episodes and writing my "Farewell" talk today really brought me back to why I am doing this.

I love this Gospel. Following Jesus Christ brings me more happiness than anything else does. It even brings me far more happiness than musical theater does (You're shocked, I know!). It defines me and every choice that I make, and I could not imagine my life without it.

1 More Week!

Sorry that I don't blog very often, and that when I do it is super boring.

I have nothing to say.

Except I'm leaving in 1 week. What?! Yep. I am.

I've just been busy buying stuff. I swear the list of stuff I need never gets any shorter, even though I buy more stuff everyday.

And, every second I'm not buying stuff, people want to hang out with me. Because all of the sudden, people are realizing I'm not gonna be around for a while. It's been super fun!

Ok. That's all.

Oh yeah, now I remember...

So I'm watching all of my friends from school continuing the music program. And now, since I'm observing with an outside view for the first time, I realized just how torturous the music program really is. Like you can't do anything else with your life while you're in school.

I was thinking to myself: "How am I going to want to jump back into the program after my mission? I won't be able to work much or socialize much or anything. Do I really want to go through this for 5 more semesters?"

And then on Facebook my friend posted this:



And then I remembered how I love what I do, and it will all be worth it in the end.

Music is my life, and I want to keep it that way.

I Love My Job

Art Time!

I remember in May when I started my new job at the daycare. I didn't like working there. I didn't like dealing with a bajillion kids all of the time. Now I love it! Sure, sometimes I want to scream at the children when they poop their pants or punch another kid in the face. But when they want me to kiss their owies better, or laugh at me when I sing I silly song, I remember how much I love them. Plus, I've come up with a lot of new and better ways to deal with troublesome kids, so that helps, too!

So what everyone says is true- Serving people really does make you love them- even when they are a naughty little kid. This is a lesson I will definitely carry with me on my mission and throughout my life.

Hairspray!

I absolutely loved being in this show! I got to dance and sing in some of the most fun songs ever! I originally thought I was only going to be in 3 numbers, but I ended up in 8! And, this was one of the most talented groups of people I have ever worked with. It was cast perfectly in every case.

But most of all I love this cast. We went through so much together, and it made us incredibly close. I remember when I started this show, and I thought it was a really odd group of people that didn't really fit well together. I was definitely wrong! I have made some very dear friends I know I will always be friends with!

My birthday was so much fun!

At work, I brought cookies to all of my kids. Then for lunch I went to Argentine Corner with my daddy and some of his coworkers who went to Argentina on their missions. Then I went home, and found a little Ariel cake from my mama, and a pinata from Johnny. I was in "Hairspray" that night and it was a really good show. My family and the Wanlass family came to see it for my birthday. Then I went out with the cast and Dani surprised me with a huge Ariel cake for the cast! It was such a fun day!
