Green, temple, singing, and progression. March 17, 2014

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! (: Don't worry guys, I'm wearing green. ALL green. Green shirt, cardigan, skirt, socks, necklace (courtesy of Tina Westlund) and eye shadow! Decked out! You better believe it! (;

And also. Happy Birthday Kylie! Hope your day is happy. I've been thinking about you this past week! (:

I forgot to tell you last week, but I'll tell you know, even though it's passed... I GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE! (: Yepp. We went on Wednesday, and we went to the Columbus temple. It's a small one, so it was exactly like the Medford temple. Which was comforting, but also kind of sad. While sitting in the Celestial Room I just wanted to look over and see mom and dad sitting on the couch. But it never happened... So instead I sat and looked up at the chandelier in honor of dad. It was SO nice to be able to go, it was really a comfort and exactly what I needed. It was incredible. They showed the new new movie! And it was AMAZING! Oh my gosh. I thought the new one was good, but this new new one is great! I got so much out of it. It's cool cause each one has different aspects of what I get out of it. That sentence didn't make much sense.. My bad. ha. But it was great. Sister White and I were the last in the Celestial Room. I really didn't want to leave.. But eventually we had to. It was a great experience. I LOVE the temple. It's my favorite place. I'm glad I got to go. We'll get the chance to go every 6 months, so that'll have to hold me over until September (:

Then we had Zone Conference, which was amazing! I always learn so much! I love it. And Sister White and I had the opportunity to sing in the meeting! There were 4 of us girls, and we sang "Be Still My Soul." It was really pretty. And a lot of fun! I'm glad they asked me (:

Those were basically the 2 biggest things that happened this week! Oh! Wait! We have an investigator, Linda, and we've been working with her for about 2 months and she hasn't really been progressing. Then, all of a sudden, a miracle happened, our prayers were answered. She suddenly understood our teachings and remembered things we've taught and she showed progression! It was great! She is planning on being baptized on March 29 (: So we're working towards that! We're so excited. She's super sweet. She's about 65 and lives alone and in the same complex we live in. It's been neat to see this change in her. The church really is true and it blesses the lives of those it touches.

Hey, any news on my FBI clearance? It's been awhile, and so I'm hoping that it's come through. A girl told me that once hers went through that she got her visa not too long after. That doesn't make me anxious or anything! Hahah. So just let me know (:

Well! That's about it! Just know that I love you all SO much and you're all in my prayers (:

By the way. I'm doing good. I'm learning a lot about me and about who I want to be and how to handle myself. I've learned to just choose to be happy. Just be happy. It doesn't make since to wallow in my pain and be all "wo is me." Rather, I brush it off my shoulder and move on! It's been a real challenge, but real helpful! (: We endure to the end!

Love you all!
