Zumba :)

Zumba is the highlight of my life right now! Love it! I think I have decided that Brittany (the teacher today) is my favorite day time teacher. Danita being my favorite night time one. Anywho Brittany is just basically awesome, love her music choices, love her energy, and love her moves! For those that know me well know that I am awkward and can't really dance but that I don't really care and dance a lot anyway. That is why I love Zumba, it's not about how good you look, it's just about shakin it and having a good time! It's also a workout! Which heaven knows I need! :)

I'm going there someday...


Last Friday I had the opportunity to go through the St. George Temple and take out my own Endowment. It was amazing! I had so many questions answered and have learned so much. I had some amazing family members physically there to support me and lots of family members emotionally there for me. Life is taking all these fun paths right now. All my life I've been waiting to go on a mission, go through the temple, get married and sealed for time and all eternity to the love of my life. Two of these major events are happening/have happened recently. It makes me so happy to be a member of the church. It also makes me terrified for the future, terrified in a very good way though :)

Llamados a Servir

Sunday's are great. Seriously.

I went to my parents sacrament meeting today because there was a "farewell" (I know we're not supposed to call them that anymore but basically that's what it is). It was of the Morby's. They are some of the neatest people I think I have ever met. They are such examples to me of how I want to be when I grow up. I want to raise my children just like they have raised theirs... Needless to say, it was amazing. I cried like the entire time.

After church I had an interview with Bishop Watson. It was for my Temple Recommend. Can I tell you how crazy it is that I will be going to the temple soon and making more of the necessary covenants to live with my father in heaven again? After my interview, when I got in my car, I cried. Not because I was sad or scared, but because the spirit overwhelmed me so much. I received yet another confirmation that I am on the right path in my life and I am doing as my father in heaven would have me do. It's an amazing feeling.

Called to Serve




Well the day I've been waiting for has finally arrived, I got my mission call!!! I'm going to the California, Ventura mission, Spanish speaking :) I report on October 26th. It's forever away, but it will give me much needed time to prepare. I'm so grateful I get to go on a mission and that I recovered so well from my back surgery. I'm actually pretty nervous now. I feel super inadequate. A girl in my ward in her testimony said "When the lord calls, he qualifies" I just hope that this is true in my case. :) Here's a quote from President Hinckley that my stake president showed me.

"Many young women are serving missions. Many are preparing to serve. Not because they aren't married or have nothing to do, but because they have a desire to serve and are therefore called to the work. The reason so many are going is because in the next generation, Heavenly Father will be sending His priesthood army to earth and wants to send them to mothers who have been properly trained and taught in the gospel. What better training can a young woman have than a mission?" 


 I love this quote! Honestly!


I feel so humbled to have the opportunity to go and share all my beliefs with others and to have the opportunity to hopefully touch peoples lives. I can't wait to turn myself completely over to the lord and be an instrument in his hands. I know without a doubt the church is true!
