This Bird!!!

So this onetime today I was just sitting in my car at a red light after driving all over to purchase things. Well I was just sittin in my car listening to some tunes, when all the sudden I noticed a bird just come and land right in the middle of the intersection...it was really weird cuz normally birds will not land right in the middle of a busy intersection, and if they do its only for a sec...they than get scared cuz all the cars are zoomin past them so they fly away. Well no not this bird! This bird just landed right in the intersection, and than walked across the road to the sidewalk...yep, this bird just walked across the busy intersection, somehow not getting hit and somehow not freaking out!! It was crazy dude!! I couldn't believe this bird!! What was he/she thinking?? Does he/she want to lose his/her life?? Oh goodness!! I was scared for that lil bird!! But it made it safely across the road, it found a patch of green grass and started eating something, perfectly content not knowing the crazy danger it was just in!!

So I wasn't thinking about relating this to the Gospel at all but it just hit me as I was writing this!! I wonder if sometimes we are like that lil bird, we land ourselves right in the middle of Danger not knowing what the heck we're getting ourself into...we walk around not knowing of the danger all around us...Meanwhile somebody is full aware of what we are doing and is shouting from the car to be careful!! And is watching our every move just waiting for us to find a safe spot of grass, He can't forcefully pick us up and move us to the safe spot, but He provides the safe spot and can guide us there! We have to get there on our own physically, but we are not ever alone really. He is always there and has a watchful eye on us. He is guiding us to safety, we just need to look around...pay attention, and realize the safety is in the grass!It may take us awhile to get there but once we do the reward is sweet and we are happy we are there instead of in the busy intersection!

Anywho I'm not sure if that makes sense at all...just some random thoughts about this bird and about life!!

Where'd ya go?? I missed you so!!

Hello everyone!! How have you all been lately?? Awww..I have missed you all too!! Wow, it has been quite some time since I last posted! Lo siento!! I have been fairly busy with multiple things!! Lets see...Oh yah! I went on a trip to Antigua! It was so awesome! I had very much a lot of fun! So I included a lil slide show of pics from the trip!! I didn't want to upload them all on here cuz I had waaaayyy too many! So if you have patience to look through my slide show Go for it!! It was def an experience! I got like second degree sunburn on my leg!! It hurt mad core! I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have some scar on my leg because of it!! I went the whole trip wearing sunscreen and didn't get burned than the last hour of our trip I sat by a pool reading a book and my legs got fried! "Friends don't let friends not wear sunscreen!" Just remember that!

Well onto other news...I'M GOING ON A MISSION (for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)!!! Yep its true! I tried to keep it on the DL and I think I did a pretty good job...but I'm going and I received my call while I was in Antigua, but didn't open it till I got home from Antigua...which meant waiting 4 days to find out where I'd be the next year and a half of my life!! Wow! That sure was hard to wait! It really tried my patience! But what can ya do? My friend Blayre wanted to go to my house and open it for me and read it to me over the phone...but UH-UHHHHHH..I said "Shoot girl no way!" So I spent almost every second till Sunday thinking about all the possible places I'd be going...

ANYWHO.....I'm going to be serving in the Ecuador Guayaquil South Mission!! I got my call technically April 9 and I will be entering the MTC(Missionary Training Center) May 20!! Wow its coming up quick!! But I am seriously really excited!! Part of me is really nervous and thinking Man what am I getting myself into?? But than I have this really major part of me that is just so excited and so happy. I feel extremely blessed and grateful for the opportunity I have to be a messenger of Jesus Christ! The Lord is trusting me to teach his children in Ecuador!! That's a great responsibility, but I know that it's what I am meant to do at this time and I just feel blessed to be able to serve!! I know that I won't be alone in this and that no matter how fearful I am the Lord will be with me! He's not gonna let me do this on my own...He never has! That makes me less fearful! I'm putting my trust in Him and I know that He will not lead me astray and He will help me!! Its going to be super hard, but its going to be great and I'm excited and very happy :) I feel good about it!

Heres a map of my mission!

My Mission is actually the southern most part of Ecuador...its not the light green color or the dark green...my mish is the middle shade of green! PS My sister Audriana served in Quito Ecuador...the light green!! Isn't it crazy we are both going to Ecuador?? Wow I sure think it is!!

So yep one more month and than I'll be peacin out for a year and a half! I know y'all are gonna miss me pretty much outta control like and such, but we can get through it together! I'm gonna miss everyone too! "We're all in this together!" ;) haha!! I'll post my mission addy on here later so everyone can write to me and keep me posted on life!!

Well here are my pics from my trip and a few from...not my trip! I love y'all and hope that life is going so super great for everyone!! I am really thankful for all of you and the great examples you have been to me in my life, whatev stage of life that was for me, I can truthfully say I would not be who I am without you and the wonderful people you are! I truly love you all!!

PS: I'm going to a Mariners game next weekend with my bestie!! HOLLA!! I'm so EXCITED!! GO MARINERS!!!!
