New Years Resolutions

• 

1. Be myself. yeah its not Utah and there aren't that many Mormons but if you stay close to your standards. You can be an example of the believers.
2. Smile.
3. People are going to teach you lessons that not many people get to have and those will later become your greatest blessings.
4. Be nice(r) to people. Don't judge cutie pie!
5. Stop comparing Utah to Tahiti. New culture and new people.

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.

...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 :))
