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. :)

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

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.

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"

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

the baby things.
Got up
Showered

Went to the airport.
Did all that stuff.

Wanting to start to cry.

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!!!

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.

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
is
THAT
week.
That's all i'm going to say.

BYU COUGARS!

O Rise, all loyal Cougars and hurl your challenge to the foe.
You will fight, day or night, rain or snow.
Loyal, Strong, and True
Wear the White and Blue.
While we sing, get set to spring.
Come on Cougars, it's up to you!

CHORUS:
O Rise and Shout, the Cougars are out
Along the trail to fame and glory.
Rise and shout, our cheers will ring out,
As you unfold your vict'ry story.
On you go to vanquish the foe
For Alma Mater's sons and daughters.
As we join in song, in praise of you, our faith is strong.
We'll raise our colors high in the blue,
And cheer the Cougars of BYU.

CHANT:

"Ra, ra, ra, ra, ra (3x) GO COUGARS!"
THIS IS WHAT BEING A UTAHAN IS ALL ABOUT.
THE COUGARS WILL WIN TODAY NO DOUT ABOUT IT.
GO COUGARS!!
