My Mission's Flag

The Brazil Flag



Joao Pessoa State Flag

Called To Serve!

So the Sunday after I got back from E.F.Y. my bishop told my mom that I should be expecting my mission call on Tuesday or Wednesday. So when she told me I started freaking out cause that was a week earlier than my Stake Pres. told me! So I was totally stoked, and then i realized that my little brother Dallin was gone to Timberline (scout camp) until Saturday. So I would have to wait almost a week to open my call.
Tuesday came along and no mission call. I wasn't to bummed cause i figured it would come Wednesday anyways. Then Wednesday came and went and no mission call. By that time i was wishing my Bishop hadn't told me it was coming early because now it wasn't here. I didn't have to work Thursday, so waiting until 2 o'clock to come around was driving me nuts. Finally it came and i ran over to check the mail box...
And There It Was!!!
Unfortunately I still had to wait till Saturday to open it. So in order to keep myself from opening it I had to stay busy. I was either out with friends all night or upstairs playing games to keep my mind off of it.
Slowly but surely Saturday finally came. So where am I going..............
Brazil Joao Pessoa Mission!
I will arrive at the Brazil Sao Paulo MTC September 17.
and I will be speaking Portuguese!!
So basically, I'm totally Stoked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EFY!!!
So this was my 6th and last year at E.F.Y. as a participant. I 'm so sad that it's over cause it was sooo much fun!!! Me, Michael, Dallin, Kendreck, and Devon all drove up to beaver Sunday night and stayed with my aunt and uncle, then drove to Provo Monday morning. It was so amazing! Michael was my roommate, and our company name was Common To Man. My favorite parts were the dances of course (basically because i got to dance with super hot young women!) and Thursday night which was testimony meeting. Thursday was the highlight of the week because your in church clothes the whole day and you do fun activities to invite the spirit. Then right before testimony meeting all the youth stand up and sing the efy medley, which I absolutely love! The spirit is always so strong and it's so amazing to see 1300 youth sing this song! Wow! I don't think there is anything better!
Oh, just as a side note... My mission call is coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm soooooo super excited!!!!!
