For those of you who dont know I have been called to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, I report to the Provo MTC on May 1st. If you can do math you will notice that its only 9 days away! I am getting more excited and stressed as it gets closer.
I cant wait for my turn to get out there and join my friends an get my turn to serve the Lord.
The majority of my life is now consumed by preparing and packing etc. to leave soon. Stuart came down with his baby girl to visit. Clara is almost 2 now! Crazy. And Lindy Lee is in Ghana with the Collegiate Choir preforming for the Saints in Africa, and while they were there the pathways students in Ghana were given the chance to audition and then sing with the choir. Its an amazing experience and Im so happy that she got to go with her choir! Even if I didnt get to see her again before I leave, but thats okay. 18 months is not the end of the world.
Anyhow, Stuart and Clara came to visit and they brought a friend with them. Zach is also married to a member of the choir, and since its the break between semesters Stuart invited him to come and see beautiful Oregon and get out of Rexburg for a little while. Zach was fun to have with them, very polite, the perfect guest, a gentleman and he s from England so he had some cool stories. Oh and he served his mission in Germany so when we went to the tulip fields he loved the food we ate there!
While they were here I worked until wednesday, but they went to the beach with Keira and got to do some fun things around here that we love. We went to the tulip fields on thrusday and took a bunch of pictures and what not.
Then on Friday Keira flew back to Texas with Gpa to take him home. Then Stuart, Zach and Clara took off on Saturday. On Sunday I was standing in the kitchen with Keira and she looks at me and says: "I miss having Stuart and Clara and Zach here, they were so much fun!" and she was right. It was really fun to see them one last time before I leave for Philly.
Now all I have to do is pack and sort and organize. Which is fine, I get to listen to music all day and I have something to do at all times, no getting bored for this girl!
