The Last Few Days Before the MTC

empty house

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.

 

 

Matt and me at Saltair

On Saturday, I rested a lot and then we went out to Saltair to see the sunset!

 

 

 

Missionaries at Farewell

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.

Speaking in Church

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!

 

 

 

 

 

Family at Matts and Brittneys house

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.

Sasha and her Birthday CakeWe celebrated Sasha’s birthday! Yes, that is an ice cream sandwich for a birthday cake!

 

 

 

 

 

Lauren and PastriesThe Brazilian pastries were a hit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kylie and Brittney in the Mountains

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.
