At Church: Last Sunday was AWESOME! I was able to speak in church and all of my family came and crammed into several of the front rows. I acutally wasn't scared either. But it'll be a different thing when I have to speak in BULGARIAN! AH! Jordan Perkins (the other missionary to be who was speaking) leaned over and jokingly said "make your talk as long as you want" (that way he wouldn't have to speak as long. So I did... and it was 25 minutes. BUT I was told that people didn't fall asleep... So I think that's a good thing! My Grandmother also gave a short talk too. (I didnt' know she was going to)


At my farewell: My extended family is the best! They helped make my open house so nice. They helped my grandma clean and prepared the food. A good 5o or so people showed up and I was able to talk with and say my goodbyes to them. It was so FUN!

This past week i have done nothing but SHOP SHOP SHOP for mission stuff, and it has been SO hard! (my mother can attest to this) I'm still looking for stuff. It's insane!
anyway I fly out from TN tuesday morning and I'll spend time with Laurie (one of my best friends from Utah) and I'll be staying with Lyssa Michael and the bug. I'm kinda sad I can't hang out with them more dangit!

The DC temple!

Last weekend I took out my endowments at the Washington DC temple so I could attend Holly and Noel's wedding as well. It was an incredible experience!!
My mom, dad, and I drove up on Friday morning and we arrived there just in time for me to go through for an evening session.
I was scheduled to go to the Nashville temple that Saturday, but we kept feeling good about going to DC so up we went. Because we went different friends/family were able to attend with me. It was such a neat experience to have them there. The people who came were; Christine & Brian Mains (my long lost college buddies), Chantel Calder & Marci Dayley (my cousin and aunt), Christina & Dave Kennedy (my sister and her husband), and of course my parents.
