Missionary Work

The best news in the world came my way this week.

Last month when I went up to Salt Lake Temple I gave the Sister Missionaries. Well this past Tuesday one of the sisters called me to tell me that they had just called my grandma. I was beyond nervous. I wanted to know so bad what had gone one. I didn't get to talk to her till Wednesday. She called me and right away I was beyond nervous not ready to hear if grandma was going to take lessons or not. Well I honestly thought that she was lying when she the sister said "your grandma agreed to have the missionaries." I honestly burst into tears... It was amazing. Yes it's not like she's going become a Mormon. But she is going to listen. Which is all I could ask for. Well it was great to talk to the sister missionary. She told me that missionaries probably wont be out there for a couple weeks but she will call grandma and give her the lessons over the phone. Well I went to my classes and on my way back from the library grandma called me.

She asked me how Courtney was doing (I guess that's the sister first name haha) I told her good then grandma told me "And I had to visitors tonight also" I couldn't believe missionaries got out there to her. Ogema is close to and super big places out in Wisconsin. But I guess they have some missionaries only 30 minutes away from her. Grandma told me that she agrees to read the Book of Mormon and will listen to the missionaries. I told her that's all I want her to do. Well I hope things will go super well. I'm always praying for her && I really hope that you will too. I love my grandma so much and this could be great. :) I'm praying so hard for the missionaries. Yes I love missionaries but I know that they are a great big part of my life.

2 young men just like the picture above. I hope they love my grandma and really pray for her. I really wish I knew these missionaries. I hope they know that I'm putting a lot into their hands.

Meet me halfway

When you are in high school you think about the future, where everyone is going to be, what school you will be & most importantly when the guys in your group of friends will be leaving on missions.

You do so many crazy things with your group of friends. When I was in high school it didn't really feel like it was right around the corner when the guys would start to leave.

Well this Sunday... was the day we'd get together for the first farewell of many to come. (yes I've gone to to tons of farewells. But these ones are different. These are my best friends. No matter how many stupid things we do. We'll all come together for a farewell, homecoming & the wedding of course... When those come). Austin is the first to leave.

Austin, what can I say about this guy without writing a novel. He was my Jr. Prom date. :) By the way he wore a white tux and DID NOT get it dirty. Isn't that amazing? I think so. His attention span maybe small sometimes but that's when we'd have the most fun.

Well here is the group.

L to R: Kirk, Rob, Ali, K.Lani, Haylee, (Back) Tara, me (kissing matty) Matty, Joe, Austin Karenna, Preston, The kid aka Tylan, Church... and some other people I have no clue who they are...

Well Austin congrats on being an amazing person & going to serve the Lords people in Ghana. Please be safe. I hope you get my random letters I plan on sending. I may need Tara to help me read your hand writing. But it will happen some how. :)

Life is crazy. && I'm not looking forward to the many farewell that I have to face in the nearish future. God be with you till me meet again. ♥

Semester 2 Week 1

18 credits? Some say I'm crazy. I completely agree! But it will all pay off in the end.

ASL: Lots of busy work, super small class & I miss David.

English: Mixed feelings. I always love English, but who know what I have in front of me.

Math: So far I'm doing good. Lots of girls in the class. Really good teacher & lots of homework.

Sociology:Weird teacher, interesting subject

American Heritage: Dr. Griffith is an amazing professor! && I'm in love with this class. Half the class dropped. This class could be the death of me. But I'm enjoying it so far.

Well I've made it. I didn't think I would, but I did. I can't wait till it's all over though. Haha. That's kind of a bad sign right? Oh well I'm excited for everything that I will learn this semester and the one step closer I am to my degree.

I hope you are all keeping your heads up.

I signed up for an Institute class & I'm hoping that I will stick to this class better than the last one. Haha.

Well we got a new roommate. So we now have 1.Me 2. Nicole 3. Janet 4. Mimi 5. Alya

Full house! :) I'm super excited to get to know them much better. But I can already tell we are going to have a great time! Wonderful Girls. Happy Friday the 13th it's been a good day for me. Sorry if your luck isn't the same.

Second Semester

I'm so not ready for my second semester of college!!

Ugh. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. Where I have to pack everything back up and head over to my apartment. 1 roommate less. Which I miss Rachel to the moon & back.

Then I start classes and I feel as nervous as I did my very first day of college. This doesn't seem to be getting any better.

This Christmas break has been good to me. Minus it did not snow till TODAY! of course.

I went to Temple Square a couple times. Went ice skating, bowling, some movies, shopping, worked, had a couple different dreams, wondered on the past, feared the future.

But over all it was a good break. Maybe once I have my first day of classes I wont be so scared anymore.

Wish me luck. I'm scared to death.
