Sorry I'm horrible at keeping up with my blog. Somehow I manage to update my Facebook and Instagram daily but my blog? Yeaaahhh...apparently I'm just not really a blogging person. I think the real reason I don't like blogging is because I feel like with every post I make I am expected to share my deepest feelings with the entire blogging world and honestly? I don't even do that with my family so I doubt that I'd be able to do it with y'all out there reading this. </div>
<div>
Anyways, its still fun to share exciting and funny stuff on here so hopefully you still enjoy reading my bloggie blog. Over Christmas and New Years my family and I spent 16 days in Hawaii. Can you say heaven? It really was such a fun trip. It was a great last family vaccay before I leave for the next 18 months. One of my very best friends, Nikki, joined us the second week we were there which made it even better! Here are some of my favorite shots! </div>

Needless to say, it was an amazing trip and we all had a fabulous time! So sad that I had to say goodbye to the Ale family for so long though... I will truly miss them. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In other news, I LEAVE FOR ARGENTINA IN 15 DAYS. SAY WHAAAAT? I gave my first farewell talk yesterday and it was so surreal. I really never, ever, ever thought the day would come for me to give a mission farewell. But it did. And I had so many people there to support me. I could not be more blessed. My friends and family are top notch. The best in the world. They are always there for me and they are the best examples anyone could have. Every one of them has touched my life in a positive way that I can never forget and I will miss them so much over the next 18 months. But 18 months compared to eternity is nothing. I CAN DO THIS. Although I will miss my family dearly, I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (is that too much? Sorry not sorry.) excited for all the adventures that await me in the next year and a half! I am going to Argentina for heavens sake! I am going to meet so many amazing people and hopefully be an instrument in which God can change their lives. Here are some more fabulous pictures from my farewell luncheon:</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">WOW. </span></span></h2>
<div>
Thats pretty much all I have to say about his past weekend. I am so humbled and grateful for the amazing experiences I've had in the past 3 days. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg74zh6GhY8">this video</a>. </div>
<div>
Last week there was a FaceBook group created (by<a href="http://www.facebook.com/LaurenHungangster?fref=ts"> Lauren Hungate</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/lyndsie.smith.5?fref=ts">Lyndsie Smith</a>, and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sarah.kemer">Sarah Kemer</a>) for future sister missionaries to share our calls with each other and help one another prepare for our missions. Within a week they have had over 2200 sisters join the page and it continues to grow each and everyday. One girl that joined the page, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/anna.finneran.7?ref=ts&fref=ts">Anna Finneran</a>, decided it would be a great idea to have some of us get together to take a picture to send to the First Presidency to show how excited we are about the age change and our chance to serve! So we did. As you saw in the video that I created, around 200 future sisters gathered at Temple Square on Saturday December 8, 2012. Other sisters from the page that aren't in the Salt Lake area also gathered in Rexburg, Logan, Provo, and even La'ie Hawaii! </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: small;">As we gathered we found girls that will be serving in our same missions, took pictures, and sang hymns. I can't even describe to you how powerful the Spirit was present there that day. It was an amazing experience to be surrounded by so many worthy young women that are preparing to serve the Lord over the next few years. The work truly is hastening and I'm so glad I get to be a part of it at this time. </span></div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I do want to make the point that although there is a very large surge of missionaries joining the army of missionaries around the world, you don't have to go on a mission to be a missionary. We should all be doing our part spreading the gospel even to those that we are around every single day at home. With this new age change the Lord has made it clear that He needs as many worthy members teaching His gospel as He can get whether they are on missions or at home going to school, raising families, or making a difference in their own communities. It is a wonderful time to be here on the earth and we are all so beyond blessed to have the knowledge that we have. We need to make sure that we aren't being selfish and keeping it to ourselves. Say what you know! He needs you in this critical time. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Over the weekend I have received multiple messages from people I don't know asking about the events that took place this weekend and even one young man asking how he can learn more about the church and how I came to know of its truth. As much as you think its not true, social media is a great way to share your beliefs. I have made connections with these people that I would not have had these events not taken place this past weekend. For example, one sister messaged me wondering about the sisters gathering having no idea that I had been called to Argentina. Turns out, she has been trying to find someone going to Argentina for the past few years because she has been trying to contact a former companion of hers that lives there. Well guess what? That certain companion happens to live in a city that is in my mission. Now I have this woman's contact information so that if I am able to find this companion of hers for her she will be able to be reunited with her. God knows what he's doing!! He has a plan for each and every one of us and we just have to trust in His timing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never forget that you are a loved and cherished Child of God. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am overwhelmed with all the views, shares, and comments that have been made about the video above. I feel so humbled. I wish I could link all the sisters that were apart of it to see all the lives that they have impacted for the better. I want them all to know that they are making a difference and that I couldn't have made this video without them (obviously). I credit those sisters who created the FaceBook page and the event for the sisters to unite. You ladies are truly inspired and wonderful! All the future sisters missionaries, whether you were a part of this video or not, you are a part of this work! Get out there and teach until you can't teach anymore...and then go even further! God is watching over every single one of us! Good luck and GOD SPEED! </div>

I haven't blogged in a while and A LOT has happened since the last time I did. The biggest thing that has happened since then is that I got my mission call! I have been assigned to labor in the Argentina Bahia Blanca Mission. I report to the MTC on February 13, 2013, same day as one of my dear friends from Belize, Hilary Munger. Pretty cool. I honestly could not be more excited to get out there and serve! My uncle Steve and a kid that came to Belize with me, Mike, both served in the Bahia Blanca Mission as well so its been fun to hear what its like from people that have served there. My moms brother and his wife actually live in Argentina just 4 hours outside my mission in Buenos Aires which is always very convenient. (: My parents will most likely come pick me up so we can go visit them after my mission.<br />

For those of you wondering, Nic gets back in June of 2013. That means that we wont see each other for a whole 38 months (3 years and 2 months). That is a LONG time and its really hard for me to even think about. It just seems crazy. Hopefully time will go by fast. I'm just glad he supports my decision and couldn't be happier that I will be able to experience all that he has while he's been out on his mission. It will also give him the oppurtunity to get a year of school in and to actually date outside of high school since he left the week after we graduated. All around, its a hard situation but a good outcome.<br />
<br />
A week ago I got to go to Arizona for a friends wedding. It was such a blast. I'm so excited for Carly and her new husband and wish them the very best. Words can't really express how grateful I am for my trip to Belize. Thats where I met Carly and all the girls that came with me to Arizona. Belize brought me knowledge, gratitude, friendships and so much more. Really, I think all these girls will be in my life for a very long time. The trip down to Arizona was a sketchy one because of the huge storm but these three kept me awake and aware the whole time. Lets just say we had fun the whole ride. Music is perfect for these sorts of situations.<br />
<br />
Carly's wedding went great. She looked beautiful and her reception went off without a hitch. Minus the wind the whole time while we were setting up for her outdoor reception. Her mom was a little stressed but we got it all set up and the wind stopped just in time for everyone to arrive. It was a beautiful reception with very delicious food (most of which didn't make it out the door because all us Belize girls were <s>working</s> eating in the kitchen), amazing decorations, and wonderful people.<br />

This past weekend I went up to Logan to visit my roomies from last year. They were in charge of Mikelles Baby Shower so I came up to help out a little bit! Let me just tell you, Nikki, Jami and Kelsi worked so hard on this Baby Shower and it was PERRRFFEEECCCTT. The games were fun, the food was great, and the decorations were to die for. I love Mikelle and I'm so happy for her and her husband. Their little baby girl will be arriving sometime in early January. So excited to see how adorable she is!<br />
I always have fun when I go up to Logan. This time we put the baby shower on, cooked a delicious meal with fried mushrooms and a honey mustard chicken (Mmmm), ran in the rain, went and saw Breaking Dawn part 2 (Loved the second half. Not a fan of the first half), painted our nails, watched more movies, and of course we had to stop into Kneaders and Cafe Rio where I used to work. I just love my friends and I'm so blessed to have each of them in my life!<br />

But my lovely sister-in-law, Allie.<br />
Tricked ya, huh??<br />
Anywho, a few weeks ago they announced they were pregnant--my brother and Allie, that is. They asked me to take a few pictures to announce they pregnancy. I just got around to editing them, and thought you would like to see how freakin' cute these two are. The pictures look good not because of the photographer but because of they're Barbie and Ken good looks.<br />

2. Utah is bipolar. There just isn't anything anyone can do about it.
I'm not sure whether I like it or not. I think it depends on the day
and the activities planned. Yes, I took both these pictures today.
Within 3 hours of each other. You know what they say, "If you don't like the weather in Utah...wait 15 minutes."</div>

3. Shots just aren't fun. Even though you barely feel a thing during them, there is just something about them that makes it so hard not to act like a 2 year old the whole time. If you really think about it, you go through so many other pains that are ten times worse on a consistent basis. (Girls--Mother Nature visiting once a month? Way worse than a shot.) You better believe I was one of those kids that kicked and screamed (and maybe even convinced my mother that I didn't need shots). You would think that after 6 months of donating plasma I would be used to needles. But...no. This morning I had to get 4 shots and some blood work done. I was so scared and then they didn't even hurt. But don't tell my parents I said that. (; </div>

All growing up I always felt like I was going to serve a mission. But the timing just never seemed like it was going to work out. Two weeks ago I learned the lesson that Heavenly Father really does see so much more than us. He has His plan and we just have to trust in Him no matter what.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. The first time I really felt like I needed to serve a mission was in Seminary my Sophomore year. We were reading in the Doctrine & Covenants and we came across D&C 4:3 <i>"Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I knew I had desires to serve but again, the timing just didn't seem like it was going to workout. So I kind of pushed it aside and told myself that scripture was for someone else. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. The next couple times were random but just as strong. I had a few different people come to me directly and ask me if I had ever considered serving a mission. (Brother Flinders, my older brother, etc.) Of course, I would always answer "yes." But the timing just still wasn't working out. I had a boyfriend. He was going on a mission and if I decided to serve a mission as well, he would come home from his mission, we would spend 9 months together and then I would leave. HECK to the NO. That obviously wasn't going to happen. But I REALLY wanted to go. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As much as I didn't want to, was I actually going to have to wait for Nic and then have him wait another 2 years for me?? I was just gonna let it play out. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As I got into college I realized how much I really wanted to serve and started to think about how unfair it was that I couldn't go at age 19. I was ready! I felt mature enough to go and I couldn't understand why they would let the boys go and not the girls. Soo..I did something I little daring and I wrote the First Presidency about it. Yes, you just read that correctly. I wrote the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints about changing the age of female missionaries. This was about a year ago. I had heard a rumor that they were going to change the age and I wanted to find out for myself. They replied. But not to me. I was at church one morning and my bishop came to me and said,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"So I hear you want to serve a mission??" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a little confused. "Yeah.. how did you know?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Don't worry about it. Just come meet me in my office after church." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Okay..."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It had been about a month since I wrote the letter and I really wasn't expecting a response. So after church I went to the bishops office and sat down still completely confused. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I received a letter the other day.." he said. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then it hit me. And the tears came. THEY WROTE ME BACK! Was this really happening???? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"...from the First Presidency. They said I need to be a better bishop and talk to my young adults more." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whoopsie...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Keep in mind he is the nicest man on the face of the planet. And he is kind of chuckling through this whole thing. I felt so bad. But I was so excited that they had written back. He proceeded to tell me what they said in response to my letter. Obviously, they had received revelation that girls should go at 21 and boys at 19. There really wasn't a rhyme or reason to it. It was Heavenly Fathers Plan. But, in their opinion they felt that it was so that girls had a chance at education as well. If girls went on missions at 19 then they would come home and just get married without an education. If we do it in order, we can get it all. School, Mission, Marriage. Thats how its supposed to go. Or, at least it WAS. So that was that. I started to think seriously about serving a mission at age 21 but just did not feel like it was right yet. (No wonder..)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And then General Conference October 2012 came along. I got a text from my really close friend, Nikki asking if I wanted to come with her to the Saturday morning session. Umm..YES. I love conference and there was no way I was giving up that ticket. </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
So we went. Nikki, Jami, Emily and I. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was like any other General Conference. We went through security, found our seats, and stood as the Prophet and his apostles entered the room. I'm always so amazed at how a room of that many people can be silenced so fast by one man walking into the room. So incredible. Anyways, President Monson stood to speak and I was excited to hear if any new temples were being announced. And of course, they were. Then he kept going. Started talking about the age of boy missionaries. A little bit of chitter chatter began in the Conference Center. Nothing too big, but still a change. Then he still kept going...and started talking about sister missionaries. I grabbed Jami's leg. In my head I was saying, "This is happening. This is happening RIGHT NOW. Holy cow, THIS IS HAPPENING." Emily says the look on my face was priceless. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then he said it. The age of female missionaries had been changed from 21 to 19. The whole Conference Center gasped. I looked at my friends and we were all in shock. Really, if you think about it. Its probably the biggest announcement in the church since it was announced that blacks were able to hold the priesthood. This was a big deal. And we were here in the Conference Center. The rest of President Monsons talk I was running through all the different scenarios in my head. "Do I finish school? Do I go right now? Do I even go? But Nic is coming home in June...? Ah! I want to go!" Still trying to figure out if I actually wanted to go or if I was just so excited about the news I started actually listening to conference. Even if that announcement wasn't made, that was one of the best sessions I have ever heard. Normally I doze off a couple times and don't pay attention to some talks but this time, I was all ears. Every talk was great. And every talk applied to me in some way. I'm sure a lot of people felt this way though. Especially 19 year old girls. Ahhhh. I still can't believe to this day that it actually happened. But it did. And my mission papers are almost done. I knew when I got home and talked to my dad that I had to go. Like I said, I had been waiting for this. This is everything I ever wanted. And the more I think about it the more things seem to fall together in my head. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-Belize prepared me for it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
-I stayed home from Utah State so that I could spend more time with my family before leaving and so that I wouldn't have to go through the process of selling my apartment contract. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had all those experiences previously in my life because Heavenly Father had a plan. He knew this announcement was coming and he was preparing me to serve. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So here I am. Writing this post. Just had my last doctors exam today and I'm ready to turn my papers in. Still can't believe it. But I honestly could not be any more excited. I'm ready for this adventure. I'm ready to serve the Lord. I'm reading to share this amazing gospel with all the wonderful people in the area that I am called to. And the best part of it is that I am supported by friends and family. I told my family and they were ecstatic, I told my friends and they were excited, and I told Nic and he said he is so happy that I am going to be able to experience everything that he has on his mission. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I know this church is true with all my heart. I have been so blessed by having it in my life. I am going to work as hard as I can to share it with other families so that they can have the happiness that my family and I have knowing that we will be together forever. This announcement has effected so many people in such a positive way and I can't wait to actually get out there and serve. THE CHURCH IS TRUE!<br />

This past weekend I got to go up to Logan to visit some close friends. I absolutely LOVE seeing them. I went up to take their roommate pictures and it turned out great! I went Friday night and came back Sunday afternoon--we had a blast.<br />
When we're together we...<br />
-Laugh a lot<br />
-Cook a lot<br />
-EAT (Rumbi and Cold Stone) MMmm.<br />
-Take lots of pictures<br />
-Watch movies<br />
-Get my car booted (long story.)<br />
-Have good talks<br />
etc.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty much whenever I'm with these three its a guaranteed good time. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend I had two "firsts". One was fine and dandy and the other...not so dandy but kinda funny.</div>
<br />
Numero Uno: I had my first photoshoot as the photographer. By no means am I a great photographer but I think that with my lack of knowledge I did a decent job. It was fun to really be taking serious pictures because, lets be honest, the pictures I normally take are of my sisters and I being stupid. Here are some highlight shots from Saturday.<br />

2. I got my car booted. Best part of the weekend. Not. Here's what happened.<br />
I got there at 10:15 pm Friday night (remember that time for later in the story). It was a Friday night so the row that I normally park at when I go to Logan was full. So I went to the next row. Thinking it was still visitor parking. (Obviously not)<br />
I didn't go back out to my car until the next night (Saturday) around 9 o'clock. A group of us wanted to go to Cold Stone and I said I would drive. We all walk out to my car and there it was. The beautiful boot and big sign taped to my window. It was love at first sight. It even made me want to cry. I was so mad I couldn't even call the number right then. I had to wait a little to let it all sink in. So Nikki drove us all to Cold Stone and I enjoyed some Cheesecake Fantasy to calm me down. I knew I had to deal with it now because tomorrow was Sunday and I kinda sorta needed to go home then. So when we got back from Cold Stone I went straight out to my car and to my dismay, the glorious boot was still there. It wasn't a dream. Dang it. So I called the 800 number and a man answered. "Oh yeah..I forgot about that boot. I'll be there in just a few minutes." He surprisingly arrived rather quickly. I was trying to be super nice because you get a whole $10 discount if you're nice. I apologized and explained that I legitimately thought I was in visitor parking. "There is the sign. Its not that hard. AND this boot has actually been on over a day so I SHOULD charge you the extra $25 fee but, since you're being cool, I wont." This is where the time above comes in. At this point, it was 10:10 pm on Saturday night. I hadn't even been there a day soooo sorry Sir but, it hasn't been on for a day. GOOD TRY THOUGH. Trying to look like the nice guy...psh. Of course, I still wanted the $10 discount so I had to be nice. "Oh thank you soooo much." "You're welcome. Oh, and since its been on so long, we ran out of them tonight when we were booting cars at the football game. So just know that you made some random persons night better." Oh well THANK YOU. Glad I could help. Not. Such an idiot. But then I became the idiot. He unlocked the boot, removed the sign from my window and started getting in his car. I, being the smartie patootie that I am, locked my car and started to walk away. "Umm...how long are you gonna be here???" hahahahahahahahahahaha "Oh yeah...I should probably move it, huh??" "yeahh..." hahahahaha. Still can't believe I was that stupid. Oh well, goes for a good story, right??<br />
<br />
And that was my weekend.<br />

I used to switch up my room all the time. Rearranging furniture, changing pictures, etc. I would start to clean my room just to straighten up and it would turn into full blown Extreme Home Makeover: Bedroom Edition. <br />
Well, it happened again tonight. I went to my room to fold/hang some laundry (that had been sitting there for probably a week...sue me) and I ended up spending two hours rearranging, cleaning, looking at pictures, and blasting TSwift. I think cleaning my room calms me. It lets me have time to think. I dread starting to clean my room but once I start I just can't stop.<br />
I really don't have much to show for my Interior Design dreams because I don't have the talent to back them up. But here are some pictures of my room post Extreme Home MakeOver. <br />
The ones of my maxi skirts hanging are showing how creative I had to get with that because there isn't a place in my closet to hang long dresses or skirts. It's quite annoying. <br />

To be honest with you I don't even know what I'm about to blog about. I am currently locked out of the house so I figured I might as well make a post since I haven't in a long time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So much yet so little has gone on in the past month. I feel so busy but then I realize I'm really not. My schedule currently consists of work, class, gym, bed. Yes, I did add 'gym' in there. I went and got a gym pass at Planet Fitness and paid for it with my own money so that I will actually take it seriously and use it...because I'm paying for it. So far, it has worked out great! I go almost everyday and I actually enjoy it. I guess its easy to go though because being here in Utah Valley causes me to not have a lot of friends because most of them are somewhere else going to school. The ones that are in "hanging out range" of me are at BYU and have their group of friends that they hang out with there. Its really fine though because now I have time to go to the gym! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...I'm thinking about moving out next semester. I miss being in the roommate situation...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, apparently word travels fast around here because I've already had people asking about the Nic situation. I'm not going to go into great detail about it because it's personal but yes, I did "technically" "write him off". I don't like to call it "writing him off" though because I will still write him every once in a while--just not as his girlfriend. I still fully expect to date him when he gets home. But for now, he is in New Mexico and I am in Utah and we need to make the best of both of our situations. As much as I said I would date while he was gone...I just haven't. I've been on 1 date. The reason I haven't dated is because I feel bad both for Nic who is wondering what his girlfriend is doing on a date and for the boy who asks me out. I just need to take a step back, date, and see what happens when he gets home. And he needs to concentrate on his mission. I think that if everything works out in the end we will be even closer for going through this together. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I was driving in my car with my sisters and I realized something; If Tiff and I weren't sisters, we probably wouldn't be friends. We are both so completely different, our paths would just never cross. And if they did, we probably wouldn't be too fond of each other. Then I realized something else; I really do have some of my best memories with her. She makes me laugh harder than anyone I know. I realized that I judge people too easily. I have passed up so many good friendships because I judge too easily. If you don't have a good first impression with me--you've pretty much blown it. I hate that about myself. Its like if I make a judgement of someone and come to find out that I was wrong about that person, I have too much pride to realize I was wrong and so I just don't become friends with them. </div>

Most of you already know this but I figured I should share my plans for the next year with the blogging world. Ready for the big news? *Drum Roll Please...*<br />
I'M NOT GOING BACK UP TO UTAH STATE THIS FALL! Shocking, right? <br />
Instead, I am living at home in good ol' Pleasant Grove. I will be working full time as the assistant of my parents at Prudential Utah Real Estate. Taking pictures of their listings, putting them on the MLS, going to meetings, managing their website/blog/facebook pages, etc. I will also be going to UVU for night classes getting all my generals done and probably taking the Real Estate class as well to get my license by the end of the semester. Killing two birds with one stone and getting college credit as well as my license. BAM. My favorite part about staying down here though is that I will also be interning for a videographer filming weddings. I just need to email him and set everything up. I should start in the next couple weeks. If you know me, for the past year I have been really interested in videography. I love to make videos of EVERYTHING. Ask my roommates. Days at the park, friends at the rope swing up the canyon, Belize, etc. I would absolutely LOVE to be able to someday be a well known videographer for weddings. Its my dream. But at the same time, I understand how hard it is to get into that "world" so I plan to make money by doing Real Estate and interning in the videography world for now. Hopefully things go right and I have some sort of God-given gift at it. ha. We'll just have to see. <br />
The past week I went to Powell with some friends and family and had an absolute blast. It was the perfect way to end the summer! One more week til school starts!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2067109951393460544.post-19944039335806239682012-07-30T20:44:00.001-07:002012-07-30T20:44:47.814-07:00Long Time Coming.Well, I've been home for 5 days now and I have yet to blog about my amazing trip to Belize. I sincerely apologize for the wait. But without further adieu here is my "Farewell to Belize" post.<br />
*Deep Breath*<br />
Two words. UH Mazing. This summer was by far the most incredible summer I have had. And its thanks to so many of you that I was able to experience all the things I did. I learned so much about myself this summer its crazy. (Or in the new words of my family, "Cray, cray"). I met some of the most amazing people this summer. Some were people who lived in Belize and some were the people that came down with me. I made some great friends that I'm sure I will keep for the rest of my life. I met some people and children in Belize that I will forever remember. Those kids at the orphanage and Faith Nazarene School will always hold a special place in my heart. It was so surreal to walk away from them for the last time and realize that most likely I will never see them again, ever. Just sitting here and thinking about it is making me teary eyed. I'm so glad I took lots of video of them so I can listen to their voices whenever I want. Its just so sad to think that they might forget about me in the next month. I will just be another volunteer that came to their school. When to me, they are that special little boy/girl that made a humungous difference in my life. I'm proud to say I know most of them by name. Granted, I'll probably forget some of their names in the next month as well, but I learned so much from them. They taught me how to love unconditionally. They taught me that worldly things don't make a happy person. They taught me the importance of accepting everyone for who they are. They taught me to not be so quick to judge. The members of the Santa Elena Branch taught me the importance of having a real relationship with my Heavenly Father. Their testimonies are so... raw, for the lack of a better word, down there. Every prayer is different, every testimony sincerely said. Prayers and testimonies are great here in the states too, but its just...different there.<br />
Completed Projects:<br />
*Sacred Heart College Garden<br />
*Benefit Dinner for Mary Open Doors (home for battered women)<br />
*Two week computer course<br />
*Month long reading camp at the Faith Nazarene School<br />
*Sports Camp at an Kings Orphanage<br />
*Visiting Marla's (home for girls)<br />
*Painting and Ramps at near by school<br />
*Repainting of windows at a near by school<br />
*Peace Camp at George Price Center<br />
*Octavia Weight (home for elderly people most with disabilities)<br />
We did a lot this summer and I can't even tell you how blessed I am to have participated in these projects. The people there make it all worth it.<br />
Weekend Trips:<br />
*Xunantunich (Mayan ruins)<br />
*Caye Caulker<br />
*Tikal<br />
*Zip-lining<br />
*ATM Cave Spelunking<br />
*Kayaking<br />
I saw a lot of cool places and things this summer as well. I had to take advantage of my surroundings while I was down there. Tikal and ATM Caves were definitely the two favorite.<br />
<br />
Since being home I have realized how extremely blessed I am. Its crazy to come home and have cold water come out of the fridge to drink. To have warm water come out of the shower. To not be constantly sweating because we have AC. To not have to manually fill the washer with water to clean my clothes. To have a dryer instead of hang drying my clothes. To have a real bed to sleep in. To have internet access at all times. To have carpet and tile and wood flooring that isn't covered in dirt. And so on and so forth. We are so incredibly blessed here in the states.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I am so happy to be home and in the presence of my friends and family. Belize, just like I said before, was such an amazing experience. I think I matured a lot from it and learned lessons that I will use for the rest of my life. And hey, I even lost a couple pounds! Woot woot!

Holy cow this week flew by! Everyday I had to travel an hour to Belmopan to teach computer classes. Taylor came with me everyday and Jeff and Hilary switched off. Computer classes went fairly well. Its just hard to teach a class of 25 kids all at different levels. Some of them are putting borders on their Word Docs while others don't even know how to control the mouse. We split the classes into age groups but there are still problems with some kids being more advanced. Also, its hard to teach kids how to type when the internet only works when it wants to and you're trying to use a free typing game online. One day we just had to stand at the front of the room and say letters for them to type…effective, right? Not really. Another problem was that not all of them had the same version of Microsoft Word so when I say, "Go to file --> new" some of them don't even have the file button. I feel like I'm prepared but something still seems to go wrong everyday. Even still, I enjoy it. I really do. The kids are great. One of the girls was like, "Miss Ali! I can type "sad" without looking at the keys!" She then proceeded to show me and it was the cutest thing. Its moments like those that make it all worth it. Since its hard to get all the kids on the same page we decided to make next weeks classes a little longer so we can get more done. Hopefully that goes well! </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Each day after computer classes we have been going to an orphanage and playing sports with the kids. The orphanage is a mad house. No organization AT ALL. Its so sad to see all those kids live in conditions like that. All the kids smell. BAD. Even the little ones that shouldn't have B.O. yet. We're doing sports camps with them, but a new kid just got here, Jason, and he wants to do a health clinic at the orphanage. I sure hope he follows through with that one and teaches these kids the importance of cleanliness. I thoroughly enjoy playing with the kids despite the smells. They are so dang cute. I'm not sure why, but I'm drawn to the teenage boys. My heart just hurts for them. Its weird, I know. But I just want to sit them down and tell them that this isn't all that life has to offer. And I just want to make sure that they don't get into drugs and alcohol and stuff like that. The two kids in the fourth picture with me are my absolute favorite. Ashton (red) and Kelsey (gray). Someone please adopt them?! </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Well, thats all for now! We're going ziplining in the morning so I'll let ya know how that goes! As Kip (from Napoleon Dynamite) would say, Peace out. </div>

BE MORE. EXCITED. The last couple of weeks have been a build up of hard work justing waiting to be put to good use, so Monday can't come soon enough. Classes will go for two weeks Monday-Thursday from 11-12 for the younger kids and then 1-2 for the older kids. As I told you before, the class is already full and there is even a waiting list. Which means, those that don't pass the class or didn't have the chance to take the class will either have the oppurtunity to take the class later this summer or next summer depending on whether or not there is another volunteer who would want to teach the class again after I leave. <br />

For some reason this picture will not get smaller so you'll just have to deal with this massive picture of me. Lucky you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the past couple of weeks there has been a general topic of discussion in the house of 16 gringos. FOOD. Belizian food is delicious at first, okay at second glance, and questionable by the umpteenth time you eat it. I don't think I will ever want to eat meat off the bone ever again in my life. It just grosses me out more and more everytime I see it. Right when we got here I was all about getting burritos, panades, and salbutes at the street shacks but now we are starting to tire of the random bones being found in our food, and the overall unhealthiness of every deep fried meal. So naturally we start talking about all the freaking delicious food we have back in the states. Lets get real people, Americans know how to make good food. Especially desserts. We have been seriously craving some good chocolate. The chocolate here tastes like brown gravel. I'm really hoping that when I get home there will be a plate of my dads homemade chocolate chip cookies waiting for me. (hint hint, Daddio) (: But really. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Top 5 foods I miss the most?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. A good deli sandwich. Turkey that wont make me sick, mayo that isn't yellow, mustard, pickles, and some white bread that doesn't mold in .5 seconds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Mashed potatoes. Mmmm. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Good ice cream. The ice cream here is decent, but it is a little too crunchy for my taste. I miss the creaminess of Cold Stones' "Cheesecake Fantasy" (Just thinking about it is making my mouth drool)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Good Meat. The meat here is....sketchy. I just want to be able to enjoy a piece of chicken without having the question the cleanliness of it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Otterpops. Yeah, I just said that. Otterpops are the perfect treat for hot summer days and let me tell ya, there are alot of HOT summer days down here in which I dream of eating 10,000 otterpops.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Top 5 foods I WILL miss most?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. The fruit. They have THEE best fruit here. My favorite is frozen watermelon. Oh wait, maybe cantelope. Or pineapple. Gaahh. There are too many to chose from. I think I just love having fresh fruit available at all times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Juice. I guess it kind of goes with fruit...but really. The juice here is so good! Lime juice? Heavenly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Mama Kay's Stuffed Fry Jackets. They are kind of like scones stuffed with a sort of chicken salad. And they are unreal. I will be definitely getting her recipe for them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Lucy's burritos. Lucy's is the name of a shack that we go to in town. We went there on the first day and have yet to find a better place to buy a burrito. She never lets us down. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Chocolate Bananas. Again with the fruit, sorry not sorry. But there is a shack down the street from us that sells chocolate bananas that I have become addicted to. I might be making a few runs to Cold Stone or Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for choco bananas when I get home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know you probably didn't really care about any of that but I just felt like blogging it. So there you go. There was my splurge of thought on food tonight. Have a fantastic day everyone! See you in 25 days! </div>

I know I haven't been able to blog in a little while and you're probably wanting to hear about Belize BUT.... I just got to see and hear Nic on a YouTube video and I honestly couldn't be in a better mood. Its kind of a really lame video that the youth in his ward made so you can skip til minute 5:12 and see his handsome face! </div>

Great, riiiigghhtt?? I seriously just stared at the screen and watched it 3 times over. ha. I'm so pathetic. But not only is it awesome to hear his voice, but his reasoning for going on a mission. He really sounds so grown up and mature. Not that he wasn't before, but he just sounds so happy. Goodness. Can't really get over it.<br />

In other news...we have a new project going on now. We are helping to beautify a school near by. We are painting all of the desks to cover the graffiti and we are also putting in a ramp for a student who is in a wheelchair so that he can access all the buildings easier.

Most of the people have disabilities so they need a lot of help there. We do things like helping them complete their daily exercises, feeding them, playing games, or just sitting and talking with them. It was actually very emotionally draining. It was a good experience for one day but I honestly don't know if I could do it again. It's just so sad to see the people like that. One man is blind, a lady only has one leg, most of them are in wheelchairs, some of them have already lost their minds, etc. And then there was Claire. She was a Swiss woman, still not sure why she is in a rest home in Belize, and she is the sweetest thing. She made us sing "The Lord Is My Light" probably about 20 times for her...in spanish. Funny, because she doesn't speak spanish. But she loved it. Then as we were leaving she turned to one of the girls and said, "I just....I just love you. Please stick with me." I literally started tearing up. It was a really tender moment for all of us. Some of the other women there weren't as sweet and would say things like, "I want my food now, B****." hahahaha Pretty funny.<br />
Also, we just got a bunch of new people in the house! Now we have 17 girls living in one house and its just fantastic! (Sometimes....) haha Actually it really hasn't been as bad as it could be with a house full of girls. I love all the new girls they are super nice and excited to be here!<br />
This Saturday is the Benefit Dinner for Mary Open Doors (the home for battered women) and I have the opportunity to sing with 3 other girls at it. Woot Woot! We are singing songs like "Lean On Me" and "You and I" by Ingrid. I'm really excited because I've never really performed singing before. It should be interesting!<br />
Oh. Scary story time. So I don't know if I have mentioned it on this blog yet but we have been robbed a few times at our house. They haven't gotten in the house because the house is really well locked up but if we leave our clothes out to dry or our shoes outside because they are dirty they get stolen. And yesterday we had a little run in with a man who most likely is the one who is taking our stuff. He was sitting outside our house yesterday morning, sharpening his machete and wearing a HELP International shirt--which happens to be mine. One of the girls went and talked to him and he said he "found" them "over there" and pointed to our house. He was completely high when they talked to him so we aren't sure how much of that is true. Then last night we saw him walk past again and he had my shirt draped over his shoulders. We had the police come over and now they are looking for him. We aren't sure if we really want the police to get involved though because he might retaliate if he finds out we're trying to catch him. So we'll see what happens. I have complete faith that our house is safe as long as we are smart about keeping it locked at all times.<br />
We also had the awesome opportunity to go kayaking this past saturday! It was so pretty and relaxing and HARD. haha But really it was so much fun!<br />
Welp, thats all for now folks!<br />

There just isn't a whole lot to blog about. We have been working a lot at the Faith Nazarene School helping the kids prepare for final exams. Exams started on Monday and we have been helping the teachers grade the tests as well. It is so sad to see how many kids are failing the tests. Today I graded a classes science test and the highest grade was a 70% with the lowest being an 8%. Most of the kids got around a 50%. These kids are 13-14 years old spelling "because" like "bicuz". One of the kids in the 4th grade class I've been helping out a lot in wrote this sentence on his test for Scripture Class. "David cild Goliath wit a sigshat." After grading all these tests, I am so excited that Jasmyn decided to put on the reading camp this summer. These kids seriously need the help. The teachers here are trying as hard as they can but the kids just don't seem to care. And even if they do care, they aren't getting the one-on-one attention that they need. Hopefully with doing this reading camp we will be able to help the kids get the basics of reading and writing so that they will have this skill for the rest of their lives.<br />
We (Tori and I) just finished the curriculum for our computer classes. We also had to make a test for this kids so that they can really determine whether they are ready to use the computers on their own. I can't wait for classes to actually start up so all this work can finally pay off!<br />

One word: AMAZING. The pictures that I took don't even do it justice. The buildings are huge and the views are incredible. The hike up the ruins are quite treacherous (especially after a week of doing Insanity every night) but TOTALLY worth it. It was also a great way to celebrate Nic officially being gone for A YEAR!! Can you believe it?! I sure can't! Just 365 more days until I see his handsome face again! I'm so proud of him and everything he has done and will do in the next year! Here's to one year down and one to go! BOOM BABY!<br />

Most of you reading this blog will be able to relate farely well to this post.<br />
Have you ever REALLY stopped to think about how blessed you are to see a temple everyday of your life? I sure hadn't until today. I mean, I've always known I'm lucky to have one so close but now that the oppurtunity to go to the temple is completely taken away it really starts to mean something to you. The closest temple to me here in Belize is the Guatemala City Temple. It's an 18 hour drive. Yes, I just said an 18 HOUR DRIVE. And it is extrememly dangerous. The church down here goes twice a year but they have to be accompanied by police all the way there and then the police watch their bus for them the whole time while they are in the temple so that they don't get robbed. <br />
Today at church it really hit me how lucky I am to be able to see and attend the beautiful Timpanogos temple as much and as often as my heart so desires. But do I take advantage of that blessing? Rarely. In sacrament meeting one of the ladies was baring her testimony and mentioned how she had never before seen a temple but that she was excited to go. I can't even tell you how badly that hurt my heart to hear. NEVER have seen a temple before? I don't know what I would do. <br />
I have 7 temples, 7TEMPLES within an hour of my house and one of them I can see out my bedroom window. What a blessing. You can bet that when I get home I will be taking many more temple trips. <br />

This week was a slower one but not because we aren't working hard. We have been planning a lot of projects this week so it takes a lot of time sitting on the computer researching. We are planning 3 big events.<br />
1. Benefit Dinner: When we got here in Belize we found an organization called Mary Open Doors. They deal with helping battered women and one of the girls was very interested in getting involved with that. Problem is, this organization gets a lot of volunteers but not enough money to do any major projects with their volunteers. Because of this, each volunteer that wants to help out at MOD has to pay a fee of $150. We asked them how they used to raise money for the organization and they said they had an annual benefit dinner that one of the resorts here would supply the location and food for free. They haven't been doing this for the past few years because there are only a few ladies running MOD and they are too busy to plan it. We decided that instead of volunteering at the shelter, we would put on the benefit for them and they agreed. So this week (and the past few weeks) Heather, the HELP volunteer in charge of this project has been working very hard to find a resort, people to attend, etc. Planning is coming along great and the benefit is expected to be on June 23.<br />
2. Reading Classes: Like I said in previous posts, we have been going to a Faith Nazarene school here and helping the children do their in-class assignments. By helping them do their work we found that they have a very low reading comprehension level. One of the girls here, Jasmyn, was interested in starting a reading camp for the kids at the school this summer. So her and Jezzel (another volunteer) have been planning and talking to the teachers this week about what kind of curriculum they should teach the kids.<br />
3. Computer Classes: I already explained the purpose of the computer classes in another post but I have been working on that one with Tori this week. We have a meeting with the manager of the George Price Center on Tuesday so I will let you know how that goes.<br />
<br />
So that we wouldn't go stir crazy sitting on our computers all day, most of us did half day at the Faith Nazarene school most of the week. I really do love going there. I have been to the same class everyday and I'm really starting to get to know the kids and really love them. Its so fun to go there and be attacked by hugs the second you walk in the door and then be able to help them further their education as well. Its a friendship that I will remember forever.<br />
<br />
Also, IT POURS RAIN HERE. We are just getting into the rainy season and its pure craziness. Funny part is that I've asked people if the storms get worse and they all respond with "YES!" Like I'm some idiot gringa who doesn't know anything. (Which I am) So I'm excited to experience some real storms compared to dry Utah weather. The crazy thing is that right after the storm it goes right back to being sunny 90 degree weather. I have quite enjoyed dancing in the rain. Yesterday we were sitting at the house and it just started to down pour and we looked out the window to find a man with his little cart selling fruit all tipped over and his umbrella was all bent and no one was helping him. One of the girls went darting for the door and the rest of us followed. The second we walked out the door we were drenched. It was fun to be in such heavy rain and also have the chance to do our HELP duty and do some humanitarian work. Followed by dancing in the rain, of course! (:<br />

Now for the part you've all been waiting for!<br />

<div align="center">
First off, I will tell you what I have been up to for the past week. Monday thru Wednesday we broke into two groups and while one group worked in the garden for the morning the other would be at a Nazarene school helping with the younger kids and then we would switch in the afternoon. The garden project is really coming along. We have all of the 11 beds finished with the two rows of cinder blocks around them and now we just have to put the good dirt in each one. I will post pictures soon I just keep forgetting to take pictures of the progress we are making. </div>
<div align="center">
At the Nazarene school we were able to help the teachers take care of the younger kids. The kids really need a lot more attention then they are getting. The reading level is really low and so is the math. The teachers are doing a good job at what they can but its hard when there is only one of them to teach 30 students. So thats why they asked us to come in so the teachers could teach their lesson and then we would go around to each student and help them do their assignment. I really enjoy teaching the kids here. I'll admit that sometimes they can be really sassy, but they're just so darn cute. One of the girls in our group, Jasmyn, is going to be the project lead for a reading camp at the Nazarene school in July. I'll be able to help out with that as well so I'm pretty excited! </div>
<div align="center">
Also this week, I have started a project of my own. In Belmopan, the capitol of Belize, there is a community center called the George Price Center that allows kids to come and get tutoring, use the library, etc. A few years ago a group came in from Japan and donated a whole computer lab to the center for the kids. Problem is, the kids don't know how to use the computers so they have to have a teacher with them to be able to use the lab and there isn't always a teacher available. The students really need this computer lab because they get homework assignments where the teacher has assumed they have internet access but some of the kids don't. So I'm going to come in and teach a two week course on how to use a computer as well as typing classes. The owner of the George Price Center told us that the reward for students taking my course will be that they can use the computer lab whenever they want without the prescence of a teacher. This will be very beneficial to the students and the staff so that the students can get their homework done and the staff doesn't have to worry about the computers being ruined. So this week in our spare time Tori and I have been coming up with a curriculum for the course. Classes will begin June 18 so I will let you know how that goes! </div>
<div align="center">
This week we also went around to more schools and gave the dental health, nutrition, and CPR presentations that we have done before. I always love doing that because the kids get so excited to participate and win prizes. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Second, this weekend has been an eventful one to say the least. Not here in Belize, but at home! </div>
<div align="center">
1. Friday May 25 was the 2 year anniversary of Tiffany Lynn Searle passing away. I didn't get to participate in lighting chinese lanterns at her headstone but I'm sure it was a really awesome experience and I did get to look back on some pictures from last year and from when she was here with us. I also got to talk to Valerie (mother of Tiffany) over the phone for a little while and I really enjoyed that. I wish I could have called Nic but I guess I will be able to hear from him on Monday via email. Tiffany was and is an amazing little girl who touched the lives of so many people. I really miss her and wish I could have gotten to know her better. She is always in my thoughts. </div>
<div align="center">
2. Today, Saturday May 26 is the day my cousin Austin and his fiance Kendy will be sealed for time and all eternity. I could not be more excited for them and for Kendy to be a part of our family. I wish them the best of luck and sincerely apologize for not being able to be there for them on this special day! Congratulations! </div>
<div align="center">
3. Last but definitely not least, yesterday the American Fork High School baseball team won the State Championship against Taylorsville!! HOOLLLAAAA! Seriously could not be more excited for these boys. I can't wait to tell Nic. He will be so excited as well! </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Sorry for such a long post but I just had to blog about all of it! Still having an amazing time here in Belize and can't wait to see whats in store for me next! Until next time, PEACE.</div>
