HAPPY HALLOWEEN YSA's

As you can probably tell from the picture...I received my mission call on Thursday October 23, 2008. I didn't open it though until the next day. I have been called by the Lord to serve in the Australia Melbourne West Mission, english speaking. I will be reporting to the MTC in Provo on February 11, 2009. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord. The reality of the call has not quited sunk in yet, it still seems like a dream! But I'm really excited and hope that I'll come back with an awesome accent. As for other things happening in my life.....well, I turn 21 this Thursday (Oct 30) and I'm really excited for that. School is going great and I'm loving every minute of it. But other than that, nothing is really happening, but I'll be sure to keep you updated. I hope everybody has a super day!!!

College!!!! :)

Hey guys!
Just wanted to give you an update on how i am doing up at school. The first picture is me and some of my friends going to an 80's dance. You guys should have seen some of the costumes there, people are very serious when it comes to this type of thing. It was great! The second picture is me and my roommates at a paint dance last monday. For homecoming, clubs get a section of the main road on campus to paint however they want it and then there's a contest of who did the best paint job. There was also a giant tent filled with buckets of paint and we had a huge paint fight while dancing! it was so much fun!! My classes are just peachy they're getting a lot easier now that i know what i have to do and i am finally figuring out how to manage my time. Which means that i can't party as much, that's no bueno! Life is great I finally got a calling in my ward, i'm in the enrichment committee, Wahoo!! i'll let ya know how that goes. I have to go prepare my lesson for family home evening tonight so see ya when i see ya! have a great week!

Question from a roommate

Last night i was talking with one of my roommates that is not a member of our church. She had a question about why we believe that Christ took upon our sins in the Garden where he bled from every pore and not when he died on the cross. I guess in her church they do not believe that he bled from every pore, and that he took upon him our sins on the cross. So my other roommates and I spent all night looking for scriptures in the bible that said that he bled from every pore and took upon our sins in the garden rather than the cross and we couldn't find any. One of my roommates even asked the missionaries up here and they gave her D&C 19: 16-19, but that is more of a modern day revelation and she wanted more of a bible reference. So i was wondering if you guys could help me out! :)

October 19

Maybe I need to switch things up a hair. It's been a couple weeks for a couple things. Posts on here is one. More than one person in class is the other. I must use some crazy triage skills to decide which issue to tackle first. Until then, keep up the good work wherever this finds you.

I remember days of standing room only for my lessons. I remember days of standing ovations with encores for my lessons. I remember days of transcripts from my lessons being immediately shuttled to ENSIGN HQ for the next month issue. I remember these things. Was it all a dream?

Roll Call 9/28

Hey Hey Hey! This blog is starting to catch fire. Unfortunately, the class room is not. But we will take it anyways! Thank you to all that check in here regularly. And really thank you to those that post.

I was hoping that Tom Barber would grace us with his inaugaral post with his news but still quiet as a church mouse. Not to let the cat out just in case he decides to Choose The Right and post his new news. I will give him the benefit of the doubt and say that perhaps his XBOX got in the way or something.

I can't talk all bad about him however seeing how he MADE IT TO CLASS. Bro. Westover also came and is running a nice little streak. Thanks for making my week fellas. I must say that I know that a few of you were in town suspiously last weekend and dissappeared at 10:15ish. I will look into the matter.

Well, enough from me. I turn the podium back over to you for another week. We would like to wrap things up at about 5 past the hour. Have a good one everyone. Mom too.

ME

Hey! I finally figured out how to make a post thanks to Sister Thacker so hopefully i'll be able to keep you guys updated on what i'm doing at school. So far school has been great, lots of late night parties :) and i've met lots of new people on my floor and in my ward. Don't worry though i still have been keeping up on my homework, well trying to at least. It's really weird living away from home you have to do everything for yourself now. The first time i tried to make cookies i used the microwave as a timer because we don't have one and i ended up breaking the microwave, don't worry it started working again the next morning. I'm learning how to cook a bunch of different Asian dishes from one of my roommates, but if you guys have any good recipes you should let me know! The ward i'm in now is really nice, it is weird not having you guys in all my classes though, and the boys up at school definately aren't as funny as you guys are. These are the most recent pictures i had of me so I decided to put them on til i can get some crazy ones of me and my roommates up. There are six girls in my apartment. So far we've all gotten along really well, they're all pretty crazy and random like i am so it works out perfectly. We haven't gotten into any real trouble yet up here so hopefully it will stay that way for the rest of the year. That's all i've really been up to lately but i'll keep you all updated! Talk to ya later! BYE:)
