One of Those Moments.

I'm having one of those moments where you just want to scream into your pillow.

Listen to loud music.

Be Alone.

I miss Utah.

Today was a hard day.

I had one of those moments of "Go away".

Life.Tahiti.Looking Fear in the Face.




Sometimes, you have to look at the whole picture.

And how this experience is going to be the best thing ever.

And how just because some of your teachers have to talk to you in front of the whole class to translate, Is fine.

And how the greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you can't.

Stop thinking that when people say "Do you understand?" you don't always have to say yes.

You don't have to live up to other peoples expectations and they don't have to live up to yours.

And your not going to learn Tahitian and French in one day.

Just because you don't like that one teacher, doesn't mean it should ruin the whole school year.

You don't have to miss Utah every second of everyday.

You can have new best friends, and still keep the old ones.

How school is so much fun even though you have to go from 7:00 to 4:00

How getting up at 4:00 in the morning is worth it for seminary.

You can have 2 homes, one in Utah, one in Tahiti.

Being a missionary at 14 is such an awesome experience.

Your life is wonderful. Some people don't get that experience.

A book can change your life.

Life is a party and you might as well dance.


BE HAPPY :)

Latter-Day Saint Kids.


Hey

There are so pretty amazing kids that move all over the world because the Lord has asked their family to.

I really don't think we really pay attention to these wonderful kids who have to move all over the world.

They are seriously amazing and I really hope we can all acknowledge what they do.

They move all over the world. It could be to Spain or Rome or even America. Everywhere.

They have to start at a brand new school that they may have to idea what the teachers are talking about or what the kids are asking.

They have to start all over. It's practically like going to kindergarten or preschool all over again.
Learning a new language.
Learning how to write.
Learning so many brand new ways.
I am so amazed by what they do.

I have gotten to have this amazing, crazy, interesting and sometimes really scary experience that they go through.
Before we moved. Some of the kids in my class at school were friending me on Facebook. I didn't know who they were at first and we had a hard time speaking to each other. It was really interesting.

I am so terrified of starting at a brand new school tomorrow. I really really just want to break down and cry my eyes out. but the Lord knows what I am doing and the sacrifices that I am making to go on this journey. He can comfort me.

I really am so scared. It is really hard when you don't know what the people are saying. They ask questions and you can't answer them. You say hi or thank you but they don't know what you are saying. It is so hard. I go to church and I don't know what the lesson is about. I am trying so hard to learn the language. I said to someone " hows life" and they said they didn't know what I was talking about and they said to explain but I couldn't and it was really hard.

Some people give me advice but all they do is make me more scared for the things to come.
I will stick to my standards.
I can to the right thing.
Things have changed.

“The future of this world has long been declared; the final outcome between good and evil is already known. There is absolutely no question as to who wins because the victory has already been posted on the scoreboard . The only really strange thing is all of this is that we are still down here on the field trying to decide which team's jersey we want to wear!” Jeffrey R. Holland

we have to decide what team's jersey we want to wear.
I have chosen to stick to my standards.
we are children of an Almighty God.
Sticking to standards and doing what WE know is right is not hard.
If you have the right friends and are doing what you KNOW you are supposed to be doing.
You are doing so great!

I really am so scared for the things to come.
This test is really an Open Book Test.
We have all of the answers in The Book Of Mormon.
The scriptures are so amazing.

I'll do a blog post about what happened tomorrow. :)

One by One. ~ Hilary Weeks.

A little Bit Stronger.

"Woke up late today
and I still feel the sting of the pain
but I brushed my teeth anyway
I got dressed through the mess
and put a smile on my face.
I got a little bit stronger
Ridin' in the car to work,
and I'm trying to ignore the hurt
so I turned on the Radio,
stupid song make me think of you.
I listened to it for a minute,
but then I changed it .
I'm getting a little bit stronger"

Everyday I get A little Bit Stronger.
I saw a picture of Timp. a couples days ago and started bawling my head off.
I can now just picture it in my mind and get a little bit sad
but not cry.
I see pictures of my friends
I miss them
but I can always call or facebook
I miss Utah.
But
It's not like it disappeared
into nothing
its still there
and I can go
if I really have to.
and next July we are going
it will be here before I know it.

A little Bit Stronger.

What I believe

I have realized that I always say i'm a Member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
But
I haven't told where you can go if you have questions this is the website
or



This is web address is where you can read the Testimony's of each of our Prophets.
Or watch a video clip about their Testimony's.


I love this Church and The Gospel!

If you have any questions, comments or concerns about what Mormons believe or other things I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks Guys!

A List.


1: "Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you've seen them or the amount of time since you've talked. It's about that very moment you find yourself doing something and wishing they were right by your side."

I miss those funny little jokes at school.
The laughing so hard we almost died!!
The telling me I should go to Mr. Smiths when clearly I had to go somewhere else because of a little white slip and I didn't have him.
But It's not that I haven't talked with them or seen them.
ok so maybe it's because I haven't seen them
It's about how much I wish they were by my side right now.
I miss everyone
Lets have a skype date soon guys!!!

2: I start school next Monday and I am so terrified!!!!

3: I can't watch Soul Surfer.
I always have to do a job in the middle
or fall asleep
Trust me
I've tried this whole week!!!!!!

4: My life is better.

5: Foreign Misquotes and Fleas ARE THE WORST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mine got all infected and they hurt!!

6: I like looking at my audience.
I see that I have some pretty far away people looking at it.
Hi Guys!!!!!

4,663 Miles.

The title means a lot.

It means a girl just a regular girl.
Dad got a job 4,663 miles away
Moving takes work.
But in the end the Lord blesses all of us every single day.
Best Friends were amazing these past couple months miss you all!!!

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.
- Bernard Meltzer
A best friend shares the good times and help you out by listening during the bad times.

When you have best friends like mine you don't just have friends you have sisters!

Sisters that listen to you and comfort you through everything

They are such blessings in my life

One of my bestest friends missy wrote this and it makes me smile!

"She may be 4,663 miles away in some different country but she is still one of my bestest friends... Mallori Hapairai, I miss you with all of my heart. :) But seriously 4,663 miles? I love you. :)"

I love you guys so so so much Missy,Jenny,Megan,Sheridan,Hope and Elyse.

I love you all so so so much!! Miss you a ton!!! we'll make it through it!!!


The Post.

The plane ride: Was fine.

Hawaii: Was cool got a really cute bracelet! Texted Jenny which was fun!!

The Luggage: All here. (Thought we lost one and found it after an hour. I was all my clothes.)

Tahiti: It's Tropical downtown New York, and It's really really really HOT!!!!

Me: I'm okay just trying to get used to it.

Feelings: Culture Shock.





Let it Begin.

You might think that no one's been through what you're going through
And you might think that nobody's made the same mistakes as you
You are feeling the weight of of the world on your shoulders
Turn it over

Just have the courage to take one step
Someone's going be there
to help with the rest
to start is the hardest
but
it's something that only you can do

Don't carry the burden as the years go by
you don't need that crushing weight in your life
have faith to pray for the strength to finally see this through

There's One who knows you perfectly
He can take the hurt away
The healing starts within
Just let Him in
and Let it Begin.

Josh.Groban.You.are.Loved.



YOU
yes you.
The one(s)
reading this post.
Right now.
Do me a big favor!
say to yourself .
right now.
YOU ARE LOVED!
It doesn't matter what the boy you like said,
Or that really popular girl said.
or even (and hopefully not) your best friend.
or (and DEFINITELY hopefully not) your family.
or anyone.
ANYONE who said you aren't loved...
is wrong.
remember that
kay?
Oh and your super special.
If you came to this earth... your obviously needed...
it can be for a little thing
like saying hi to someone in the hall.
or giving someone you've never met or met a compliment.
or everyday habits.
(those a just some tiny examples)
or it can be a big thing.
(you can decide for yourself)
everyone's comfort zone is different.
And i'm not just saying that.
PROMISE!
You.Are.Loved.


Packing?

Packing?
It's harder then it looks people.
Trust me.
Plus...
each person you ask questions to gives a different answer.
I thought packing for girls camp was bad.
Not anymore.
