EFY 2012

This last week I had the AMAZING opportunity to go to EFY with my cousin Courtney. I had the time of my life with my cousin up in Rexburg, Idaho.My two AMAZING counselors! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Sergio & Jessicah. Without them, this week wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was. :)
Some of the girls in my company and Jessicah. (Andrianna, Alexis, Janae, Maddie, Yuki, Courntey, me, Emily.)
ALL the girls in my company. (Natalie, me, Courtney, Alexis, Jessicah, Janae, Yuki, Maddie, Andrianna, Laura, Daea, and Emily.)
I’m so thankful for the wonderful opportunity I had to go to EFY. I truly had SO much fun spending time with all these beautiful girls and awesome guys the whole week. Sleeping in the dorms was SO much fun and just got my more excited for college :/.

One thing I was sad about, I didn’t have a very easy time making friends with all the kids in my company. I felt left out of a lot of things and forgotten. I was really confused I didn’t know why my company was doing this. So I spent the first couple days with a bad attitude, but later decided I just needed to pray.
Not making as many friends as I wished I had, helped me grow a whole lot closer to my Savior. Because, it was at my loneliest times that I felt God’s love for me. My testimony was able to grow 10 times stronger this week at EFY, and I’m SO thankful for that!
Hopefully I will be getting more pictures soon, and I can do a more detailed post. But I wanted to get it up quick before I forgot names and such :).

Until next time! Thanks for reading :)

Draper Temple


This past week I had the opportunity to do baptisms with my bestest buds at the Draper Temple! We decided that we all wanted to visit different temples this summer rather than just going to Mt. Timp over and over again. So... we started with Draper!
Kayla, Caitlin, Callie, EmmaLee, and I
I am so thankful for all of my amazing friends and for their examples to me! I’m so blessed to have friends that want to go to the temple and that we can have such a great time doing it. :)
