Is is gone?

I cannot believe 2011 is gone.

Oh this year has DEFINITELY had its ^UPS^ and its Downs.

But its been a good year.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Pride & Prejudice

I watch this for the first time tonight

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE!

I think I need to find myself a

Mr. Darcy.

later of course that is.

Yesterday...

Yesterday.

I went to

yes,

THE

OCEAN.

Got sunburned.

Collected sea shells.

made a sand castle.

Didn't want to get wet.

haha.

in the tone of Gru from Despicable me.

SOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDD!

but hey

the sunburned turn into a tan so I'm good.

Life is good.

Also something that happened yesterday I got one of the best Christmas presents ever.

We know this family and we got the privilege me and my brother

to give a little boy some presents. The look on his face was priceless.

That was my favorite.

.CHRISTmas.

I hope everyone can have a Merry Little CHRISTmas.

Crossing.The.Ocean.

...I'm dreaming...

I'm Dreaming of a sandy christmas

Just like the ones I don't know

Where the palm trees are swaying

The drummers are playing

and all the coconuts lined up in a row.

It's pretty amazing.

Have you ever gotten the...

" The Lord has sent me here for a reason"

feeling?

I've been getting it here a lot lately.

The Holy Ghost speaks to me sometimes that says to me

"Mallori, you were sent here for a reason."

I'm beginning to find new reasons and answers to my own prayers and questions.

I've had a really hard time at school lately.

It's not the people in my class. They are so great!

It's more of the Language Issue.

Languages are so hard.

Trust me people you cannot learn French and Tahitian and Spanish in one month.

It's going to take you awhile.

I've never realized how protective I am of my siblings.

Someone through a crepe at Hunter (my 11 year old little brother) I got super defensive.

It's a little thing I know but who knows it could be a rock tomorrow.

I really care about how much respect people show to my siblings.

Hunter has been a pretty amazing kid.

Going without your mom and 2 sisters for 3 months in a different country?

Yeah accomplished.

You wouldn't believe his face when he saw us at the airport.

I should have gotten a picture. Darn.

I haven't gotten to have to get super defensive of Niki yet. Shes only a year.

I've met kids in the church that have a pretty tough life.

I have really wanted to help them in some way.

I have found that the best way to help people is to say hi or show that your there for them.

I love these kids and can't wait to share more of the experiences I have with them!

We will see what stories I put up tomorrow :))

Light Keeper.Jenny Phillips.

He knows its hard to hold.

To His light sometimes

The world is so far from the right

so just close your eyes

He'll help you shine

(Chorus)

Light Keeper

Be strong

Light Keeper

Walk on through the night

When all the world is telling you

Its not worth the fight

hold on to your light

Hold it tight

Light Keeper.

(Song)

You might feel left behind

When others leave the light

And oh how the Father loves you.

He'll Never leave you side

He'll help you shine.

(Chorus)

Light Keeper

Be strong

Light Keeper

Walk on through the night

When all the world is telling you

Its not worth the fight

hold on to your light

Hold it tight

Light Keeper.

(Song)

Oh how you shine

You are filled the Fathers love

You are worthy of his trust

Oh beautiful light

(Chorus)

Light Keeper

Be strong

Light Keeper

Walk on through the night

When all the world is telling you

Its not worth the fight

hold on to your light

Hold it tight

Light Keeper.

When I first heard this song it was my first year of girls camp.

We went up to Heber Valley Girls Camp.

Everyone got swine flu.

But it was the best year of my going to girls camp.

I cried every night because I missed my family.

The reason is because.

I got to see Jenny Phillips perform this song.

The spirit was so strong.

I am so grateful for her wonderful music.

Choices.

I never thought about it this way before.

Thank you Facebook.

ha.haha.hahaha!

Oh the joys of...

wearing flip-flops everyday.

living right next to the temple.

being an example.

have great new friends and talking to the old ones. I love them both so much.

having a month off for Christmas break. Can you say YES YES YES YES YES!!!

waking up at 4:00 in the morning for seminary.

Hearing stories.

Telling my own.

Air-drying my hair. It's feels so good today.

Having good days.

Laughing so hard.

I love Tahiti.

13.21.Too many to count.

13 days until I turn 15. SO.EXCITED.!!!!!!!

Too many great days to count! :)

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".

In the Spirit of Thanksgiving.

I'm thankful for...

• The scriptures.
• Loving family and friends
• Heavenly Father
• The Plan
• Prayer
• School
• Who I am
• Life
• Happiness

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

http://mormon.org/

or

http://lds.org/?lang=eng

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.

http://lds.org/study/prophets-speak-today/unto-all-the-world/prophets-of-the-restoration?lang=eng

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!!!!!

Really Quick!

REEEEEEEEEALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY QUICK!!!!!

So my dad got this Koru necklace in New Zeland

Mines different the then picture but you get the Idea.

and It means

"Inspired by Uncurling Fern Frond.

Represents Peace, Tranquitlity,

Personal Growth, Positive Change and Awakening, New Life and Harmony"

Super Werid

Totally Describes me Right now I wear it everyday.

I hate it when Karma is right.

I'm Back!

Sorry about that guys

moving to a different country took a bit of time away from my schedule.

So

Your probably wondering how I am, correct?

Well i'm fine

just fine.

Later i'll put some pictures up of my suitcase and the house.

Its pretty different then Utah.

I've had a difficult time to adjust

and still I'm still not adjusted.

but i'll probably will be later.

much later.

Now lets start from the very beginning of all of this

and I mean the moving

not the

Dad gets

THE NEWS

I'm taking about the beginning of the drive to Las Vegas for the plane ride the next morning.

That beginning.

The beginning of that day was really hard.

for me.

last minute packing

not finishing until about 6:40

Aunt Mel coming to help us
(That lady is a genius!!)

The "oh my gosh this is the last time forever"

well not forever

hopefully.

Then leaving at 9:00

I think

stopping at a fast food place

watching movies

First Daughter wasn't the best

Cars 2 was awesome

(14 liking Cars 2??? HECK YES!!!)

Captain America

I fell asleep in the very beginning

Driving in a snow storm that would scare your Aunt Betty.

I don't actually have a Aunt Betty.

but it was a crazy snow storm

C.r.a.z.y.

starting the little tears.

Starting to realize everything.

Scares me.

We got to Las Vegas safe.

then went up to our hotel room.

Tried sleeping

slept for a little while.

mom kinda repack a little

the baby things.

Got up

Showered

got ready.

Went to the airport.

Did all that stuff.

got on the airplane

5:45 minutes to be exact.

Wanting to start to cry.

didn't

Landed in Hawaii

Got cute earrings and a Bracelet.

Got on the Plane ride to Tahiti

5:30.

Got there

Freaked out

Culture shock.

Got up

went to church

Pictures up of the building soon!!!

so yeah

That's my life right now.

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.

Time.

I just need time.

Time that I have just with family.

Time that I just get a feel for Tahiti.

Just time.

Oh.My.Goodness.Cow.A.Bung.Ga.

Oh.My.Goodness.Cow.A.Bung.Ga.

Josh.Groban.You.are.Loved.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-G8IfjPAII

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.

Boo.

Happy Halloween! :)

Now can I start the Christmas music??? :)

This and That Week.

This week

is

THAT

week.

you know the one with all the packing

and

last minute errands.

The last goodbyes

and the driving to the airport.

the making sure you have everything

until next July.

(that's the next time we visit Utah.)

Losing your phone the LAST week you have it.

I'm not doing so great without it.

The telling mom

"WE NEED TO GO TO CABELAS AND GET A LIFE JACKET FOR THE PLANE SO I DON'T DROWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!"

and she just laughs and says "Dad says they have them over there."

OK but just wait for me and the anxiety of not having one.

I don't know why I want a life jacket for the plane

I just do.

Like I hate dark basements

scare me to death.

But back to other things.

by the way that conversation between mom and me

JUST happened.

about 5 minutes ago

its 11:34 P.M.

yeah crazy stuff happened's.

oh and finishing the book you got for the plane a week before.

whoops.

but hoping mom will be nice

and get me that other book by the same author :)

Going to the store and saying mom I need this!!!!

and realizing that I can't take all of my closet.

Darn.

Sleeping with a warm water bottle for my nervous stomach.

having the wondering what mood i'm in since I can't pick one because its hard to decide.

Going out to eat every other night because we won't be able to have this in Tahiti.

Cafe Rio anyone? :))

Thinking I thought packing for girls camp was bad.

Packing takes on a WHOLE new level moving to a different country.

Trust me.

This Week

Valiant Faith.

Too many people are just sliding by
Plugged into the world
But missing the meaning of life
But I was born to be a warrior of light
With faith to move mountains
And the power of God
Filling my life

[chorus]
I want to live my life with honor and faith
I want to return to his arms unashamed
It's not enough for me to live it half-way
I'll follow him fearlessly
All of my days
I will live with Valiant Faith

I've lived for ages
I've prepared for this life
I won't be confused
And cross to the enemy's side
I am girded with power and truth
Siding with God
His pouring out blessings
In all that I do

[chorus]
I want to live my life with honor and faith
I want to return to his arms unashamed
It's not enough for me to live it half-way
I'll follow him fearlessly
All of my days
I will live with Valiant Faith

Valiantly
Fearlessly
I'm fighting for the mighty king
Valiantly
Fearlessly
I'm fighting for the mighty king

[chorus]
I want to live my life with honor and faith
I want to return to his arms unashamed
It's not enough for me to live it half-way
I'll follow him fearlessly
All of my days
I will live with Valiant Faith

A Realization.

There has been some thought

and some prayers.

Some thinking

and going to seminary

There has been things pointed out

and somethings found.

There has been a realization in me.

Just a 14 year old.

That I have been blessed.

I was in a accident last year

I fell out of a truck.

I was supposed to break bones.

Only broke my jaw.

I look like i'm back to normal.

A couple battle scars on my face.

Nothing big.

But the Lord blessed me.

I didn't die.

I was blessed so much during that time.

Earlier this year

my dad got a job for

The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints.

I have learned or more

been blessed to learn

That this will be an adventure.

I have been blessed to meet the people I have met

I will be blessed for the people I will meet.

Both will/ have taught me many great things.

I've been blessed so much

and I know my Father in Heaven

listened to my prayers

and answered them. :)

S.H.E.M.M.M.J

Best Friends.

No Question whatsoever

8.

8 days.

until I am done with school.

in Utah.

This scares me.

I'll be in utah until november

but still...

Where you stand Jenny Phillips.

There is a quiet whispering

deep in your heart

its a voice that reminds

who you really are

you were faithful to Father

you worshiped the son

you rejoiced in the plan that allowed you to come

to this earth to learn and achieve

now is the time to stand up for what you believe

do you remember the promise

you made back then

how you longed for the chance

to show faith in him

now that your here and your finding

your voice

your living the plan and your making the choice

WHERE YOU STAND

where you stand

where you stand

you knew there be moments when you walk alone

with darkness and trials you'd face on your own

you'd knew there be times when the choice was

unclear

and you need him to quiet your doubts and your fears

to give comfort to show you

the way

now is your moment to say

you remember the promise

you made back then

how you longed for the chance

to show faith in him

now that your here and your raising

your voice

your living the plan and your making the choice

WHERE YOU STAND

where you stand

where you stand

where you stand
