So much has happened in the last few days. The house was emptied on Friday and I went to stay with Matt and Brittney for a few days.
On Saturday, I rested a lot and then we went out to Saltair to see the sunset!
Then, on Sunday, I was set apart and gave my farewell talk in sacrament meeting. It was so wonderful to see family and friends there.
I talked about having faith in Jesus Christ. I studied for about a month to learn more about Jesus Christ and how we can have faith in him. I loved giving that talk!
Afterwards, we had a family dinner and then sat around and talked. I asked each one there to answer two questions:
1. When was a time that you felt like a success (whether or not anyone else thought you were a success)?
2. If you had unlimited resources and knew you would succeed, what would you do?
It was so wonderful to hear the heartfelt answers from each family member. I loved being with them.
We celebrated Sasha’s birthday! Yes, that is an ice cream sandwich for a birthday cake!
The Brazilian pastries were a hit!
Afterwards, we went in the mountains to find the perfect place for my granddaughter’s ring ceremony. I think we found it!
All in all, a practically perfect day! I am ready for the Missionary Training Center.
