Mariah Martinsen




Right when I got to Provo I was able to be dropped off at Mariah's appartment. Mariah and I then went to the Cougar eat and got some Subway :) Then went back to her place and just chatted for hours. It was really good to be able to see her and spend some quality time with her. She really is an amazing girl and I loved being able to talk with her. We laughed, and joked. I am glad that I was able to see her :)

I HATE saying goodbye!!


I absolutely hate saying goodbye..... especially to the ones that you grow super close with. Clare and I stuck like glew right off the bat! I am surely going to miss this girl, she is one of my best friends! She has taught me so much throughout this EFYing :) I love her to death! thank goodness for technology to stay in contact!

True Happiness!!




Can I just tell you how happy the gospel of Jesus Christ makes me?! So we were walking to the stake center to play games and I began talking to my C0-counselor Alex Hale and I said, " Alex do you ever get really happy and don't know why?" he replied, " well maybe...but I usually know why". He then proceeded to ask me all these questions well does this make you happy? is it this? or this? and I said you know what Alex the only thing I can really think of is the GOSPEL!! And you know what?! that is SO true! I find myself smiling quite often because of this wonderful church that I belong to. I love this gospel and my savior more than anything! That brings me TRUE joy! I can walk around smiling, knowing that I am a child of god. I know that he loves me. I know that he answers prayers. I know that he is there for me whenever I need him. This church brings me so much joy, and makes me want to share it with others. I am so thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! This is what True happiness is ALL about :) ~ Happy Note for the day! 

I pulled a Funny :)


So...... I pulled a "Funny" haha so today I was one of the Dancers for EFY orientation.. And all was going well until the finale! I along with a couple of Counselors did a Toe Touch at the end! I was right next to Patrick Law and as I did my Toe Touch I heard a RIPPPP!! haha I then realized that I had ripped my pants!! ahah Realizing this I quickly sat down! Thinking that it was just a tiny hole I went on with the rest of orientation. Then I walked back to my dorm thinking I could just throw on some spandex.... NOPE! haha to my dismay it was a HUGE Hole!! I then proceeded to put on a pair of Jeans because that was the only pair of Kaky pants I had! So pretty much I stuck out like a sore thumb...being the only counselor in Jeans! ha but it made a "funny" story! I guess its about time to retire these pants I mean its not like they are like 5 years old or anything :)

Spanish Ward!!


This Sunday I was able to go with Diego Stabio ( a really good friend of mine who just got back from his mission from Philadelphia Spanish speaking)  to a Spanish Ward! I was SUPER excited!! I have always wanted to go to a Spanish ward but never made it out there in Az. I have to admit I was a little bit nervous that I wouldn't be able to understand at all. I said a prayer in the car for comfort and that I would be able to understand the talks. To my surprise I was able  to understand a whole lot more than I thought :) I love the Spanish culture everyone is so loving, caring and just plain happy! This made me want to serve a spanish speaking mission even more! I would say that this was a success!! I loved every minute of it!

He hears every word!


He hears every word is the song that I sang for EFY today. I love this song, it has such powerful words and a message for all to hear. Heavenly Father really does hear every word that we say and prayer to him. I know that he listens to each and every one of our needs and Loves us all the same! I love my savior so much and he has helped me through a lot in my life. I am thankful for him and his sacrifice. I love this church and the gospel so much!!

SAVOR it for SAT :)



So this weekend we all went on a big group date as counselors!! We made some SUPER sweet shirts with spray paint! it was SUPER fun! Our shirts totally showed our personality! 


Now comes the good part :) After we were finished making shirts we then decided to BLOW FIRE!! so what you do is put a whole bunch of powered sugar or corn starch in your mouth. Then you have someone light the match in front of your face and you blow and then FIRE comes out :) hehe it was pretty sweet!! 








And YES that was MY fire that I blew! you just cant see my face :)


Here is a picture of me chugging the powered sugar down :)
