Your relationship with Jesus Christ starts on your feet

HEY!

Ok so the days feel like weeks and the weeks feel like days! fur realz. its crazy!! I miss the ghetto. that's all I have to say! but everyone here in Niceville is awesome!! lots of Utah people hahah it aint even 100% southern no more!! lol but its cool its cool! my birthday was AWESOME!~!!!!! It kind of lasted all week! sweetnesss!! that night we went over to a sweet families house. the Bassetts! they made pot pie caserol because i love pot pies, than they were tryin to find the rainbow chip frosting but couldn't find it anywhere!!! So they made their own homemade frosting!!!! it was sooo goooood! even better than the store bought stuff!! than their kids gave me presents!!!! ahhhh!!!!! SERIOUSLY SO MUCH LOVE!!! Than Gpa Howell gave me a whole flippen cake!!!! whaaat?!?!?! hahahaha than there was one dinner at the kellys and they are so amazing!!! we get there and they had balloons and a birthday hat!! hahaha we basically ate homemade pfchangs :) SOOOO GOOOOOD! than she lit candles on a cake for me and they all sang!! THEN! when we were about to share a message sis Kelly leaves and comes back with this HUGE basket full of presents!! WWHAATT?? after our message i opened it! there was 20 presents! for each year of my life!! sooooo sweet! i seriously nearly cried out loud!! seriously!! soooo sweet!!! Best birthday ever!!! everyone was soo nice and loving!!! You can actually feel the love!! it aint a metaphor! its a real thing people! lol so that was my birthday away from home :) Thanks yall so much for the bday cards n stuff!! it seriously has been an amazing bday!!

So at district meeting our DL read some of this talk given at BYU or something like that its called. Why 1820?

its deep and it talks all about the great apostacy and reformers! soo good!! OK!

so gator time :)

Zach Carness! he is progressing!! we met with him again this week!! soo awesome!! and he came to church yesterday!! woooohoooooooooooo!! soooo happy!!!! He is reading and praying! hahah we brought a yw with us this last time and we were teachin and the sower analogy came into my head so i started tellin it best i could remember... and i lost it 1/2 way through like i had no idea where i was taking it!! i couldn't connect the lines!!! so i stopped and than everyone laughed!! so embarrassing! time and time again it proves how missionaries are born to be awkward!!!! but Zach did not leave because i messed up the lesson! he came to church! and he enjoyed it! the other super awkward part was in gospel principals the lesson was on the law of chasity... you've got to be kidding me! Zach is getting a handful! hahaha so it was a super... fun? lesson? oh my definetly a journal entry that's for sure!!

Christa Diviny is reading! hurray!!!! i love her soo much!! she loves to give us food and feed us!!! she is reading! we talked about the god head recently and how they are 3 distinct beings with the same purpose! it was fun! i feel like this week i have been super clumsy and loosin my train of thought! hahaha poor sis cooper, bein forced to take the lead!!

Than there is this LA couple were workin with. The Hagwoods. she is 19 and he is 18 they have been married for 6 months and live on base (military) hahah this last lesson was soo awkward but funny. we had another yw come with us! and for some reason Jamie and sis c shut up and wouldnt talk like, at all!!! its so hard sometimes keepin up a conversation all by myself!! ahhh!!! i would even do the stop talking and stare at sis c. she would talk and say some stuff but than shut up again!! so sad!!!!! hahahaha oh the awkward moments of a missionary are many! and they exceed any earthly thing! yep i just said missionaries aint humans! still proves it to this day!!!

there is this LA who is ganna teach us dancing aerobics! ahhh! hahah so i should now come home with skilled work out moves ;)

I figured out what i don't like about biking!! sis c is sooo fast! and i get so tired tryin to keep up and go fast! why cant we just ride! and survive!! it aint a race. yesterday we biked like 10 miles around. shoo when i go at my own pace i can do good and i can survive! need i say more?

Its weird to think that most of 2013 i was away from home. I can almost say that ive been out a year!! weird!!i think ima start lyin about how long ive been out. ill start sayin 7 months, or 8 months! maybe itll come true? hahaha Well here are some good quotes people said this week

"Your relationship with Heavenly Father starts on your knees and your relationship with Jesus Christ starts on your feet" - sis Gouker

"be kind to everyone, because were all fighting very hard battles" -Bro Stephenson

The church is true, the book is blue and yes, God is a Mormon!

LOVE
SIS MILNE THE GREATEST!!

PS i learned that in the scriptures when is says "God" its referring to Christ but when its "GOD" it referring to Heavenly Father!! and that aint in there scrips a lot!
