<br />
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!! Sadly this holiday is not celebrated here in Mexico so there are not floods of people wearing green everywhere but supposedly Spring Break has started so there have been lots of Americans and cars everywhere! A nice brother from Arizona paid for our tacos last week, blessings blessings, blessings!<br />
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1395170364247_2555">
Tranfsers were this past Sunday and Hna Buendia and I are still together here in wonderful Puerto Peñasco! We are both excited and both learning lots and lots of things from each other, our investigators, our branch, area, everything. The main thing is to remember to smile, be postive and realize that just because the "results" that I am expecting to see arent always the results the Lord has and that sometimes we have to show our faith in His plan, because this is His work and not mine. </div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1395170364247_2112">
This week we traveled to Caborca for a multi zone conference with Elder Johnson, the Area President of Mexico and that was fun, We got up at 330 AM and got back to Puerto Peñasco at 630 and then went and taught people until 9 and bed at 1030! Super long day but so worth it. I love the Gospel. Simply brings happiness to life. He taught us about the Plan of Salvation and how Jesus Christ is the only way to get back to our Father in Heaven. Christ is our Savior and our Redeemer. There is only one plan and we can choose to follow it or not but by following the plan, we are lead to eternal life. What more could you want for eternity?</div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1395170364247_2521">
This week a lady we teach was taken to the hospital, we arrived at her house just as the ambulance came, still dont know exactly what happened but the saddest part was that her son was outside smoking and acted as if nothing had happened. LOVE YOUR FAMILY! I love my family and am so grateful for all of the love and support that you all give me! Love you love you all so much! Start getting ready for general conference! </div>
<div id="yui_3_7_2_1_1395170364247_2554">
Anyway just know that all is well here in Mexico, I love you all! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Good morning. It is a pleasure to have
this opportunity to speak in front of family and friends. I have had a lot of
time to think about things and one of the questions I keep asking myself is
“How on earth did I get to this point in my life?” Many of my thoughts turn
back to growing up in the Tustin 4<sup>th</sup> ward. I was very, extremely,
adamantly not going on a mission but here I am today shocking everyone,
including myself, leaving in 10 days to serve an eighteen month mission for The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What changed?<br />
<br />
My heart did. My heart was softened. I thought all this time a hardened heart
referred to people like Laman and Lemuel from The Book of Mormon or the Pharisees
and Sadducees in the New Testament that eventually had the savior of all
mankind crucified. However I was wrong, my own heart was hardened to the idea
of going on a mission and I realized that one of the reasons I came to Earth
was to help and serve others and what better way is there than to serve a full
time mission. I tried rationalizing all of the good things that were happening
in my life and how going to stay and finish my last year and a half of school
would be the best but the Spirit kept prodding me. My idea of missionary work
was skewed for some reason. A missionary's purpose is to invite others to come
unto Christ by helping them receive the restored of the gospel of Jesus Christ
through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, baptism, receiving the gift of
the Holy Ghost an enduring to the end. For some reason this was not the
purpose of a missionary to me. I don’t really know what was but this wasn’t it.
Finally one night in my apartment I was up by myself, which was unusual, writing
in my journal and began writing “I think I should go on a mission, I’ll wait
until general conference next week.....” There are about four pages of me going
back and forth writing no, yes, since when do I want to serve a mission, am I
crazy and at the end of that entry it says "I am going on a mission and
that's that". So I scheduled an interview with the bishop of my ward
but I was moving to another apartment complex which meant a new ward, so I met
with my new bishop too and then with that stake president and then my papers
were in! I was still unsure about going on a mission but I was putting all of
my trust in the Lord and prayed for the strength to go through. Despite all my
secret hopes, two weeks later I was opening a big, white envelope I had never
imagined that I, Katie Sundberg would be opening. I knew that as soon as I
opened this letter there was no going back. I was not going to deny any
calling. My hands would not stay still, they were shaking like crazy and I was
soon reading Sister Sundberg. You are hereby called as a missionary of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the
Mexico Hermosillo mission. I about died. Like I said it’s been about five
months since I got that call and so I have had a lot of time to think all about
the miracle it is that I am going on a mission and the only thing that got me
here was trusting in the Lord and depending on the enabling power of the
Atonement of Jesus Christ. <br />
<br />
The atonement consists of Jesus Christ's suffering in the garden of gethsemane
and his crucifixion on Calvary yet it is so much more than those two sacred
events. Each one of us needs the blessings that come from the atonement. Prophets
of old foretold of this essential event since the days of Adam. In the Garden
of Eden, Adam and Eve lived in the presence of God and were told they could
partake of the tree of life but were commanded not to partake of the tree of
knowledge of good and evil. Adam was told that in the day he eats of the fruit
of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he should surely die. From the
scriptures we know that Adam and Eve partook of the fruit of the tree of
knowledge of good and evil and were cast out of the Garden of Eden and with
that, cast out of the presence of the Father. This is called the fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fall caused two kinds of death to occur.
One, spiritual death meaning separation from God and two, temporal death
meaning they would one day die. Adam knew there would be consequences for
breaking a commandment of the Lord, there always is. He knew that no unclean
thing could dwell in the presence of God yet he longed to be in His presence.
Imagine the joy Adam and Eve felt when they found out that a Savior had been
prepared for them to redeem them from both types of death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And so as 1 Corinthians 15:22 says “as in
Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of the fall, we are all prone to
mortal death and we are all accountable for our own sins. In the second article
of faith we are reminded that “we believe that men will be punished for their
owns sins and not for Adam’s transgression.” Jesus Christ is our savior and
redeemer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His death on Calvary ensures
each of us immortality. We will be resurrected. He broke the bands of death. The
grave has no victory. (see Mosiah 16:7) We will be able to see and live with
loved ones who have passed on again and to be with our families eternally
because of Christ’s selfless sacrifice on the cross. Immortality is
unconditional. However eternal life, meaning returning to the presence of God
is conditional. Christ’s suffering in Gethsemane, his bleeding from every pore,
his descending below all things and rising above all things is the part where
we must act to receive the blessings that come from His suffering. For if we do
not use the atonement it is “as if there was no redemption made” (Mosiah 16:5).
The gift of eternal life requires us to have faith in Jesus Christ and in His
Atonement and then to repent of the commandments that we ourselves have broken.
Our salvation depends upon us. We must have faith that Jesus Christ exists and
that he truly makes it possible for us to live in the presence of our Father
again. I know that I do not have all of the answers as to the mechanics of how
the Atonement works but I know that it does. My faith sustains me. It is our
choice whether or not “we come unto Christ and be perfected in Him” as is
explained in Mosiah chapter 10 verse 32 in the Book of Mormon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Making
the atonement a part of our daily lives is simple but just as Naaman in the Old
Testament doubted that he could become clean of his leprosy by bathing in the
river 7 times or how the children of Israel could be healed of their snake
bites just by looking up unto the staff that Moses was raising, our pride
creeps into our minds to stop the simple process of gaining the blessings from
the Atonement. Our pride leads us to believe that our healing needs to come from
some great journey or that something extraordinary need to happen but in
reality it is simple, all we need to do is come unto Christ. The extraordinary
has already taken place. We just need to have faith. All he asks of us is a
broken heart and a contrite spirit. It is a humbling experience. We, who have
sinned, only need a broken heart and a contrite spirit but the person forgiving
us and leading us to perfection lived a sinless life and paid the ultimate
price. What a remarkable gift. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
process of each of us changing to be more Christlike is going to take a very
long time. Just because we haven’t committed any serious sin does not mean that
we do not need to ask for the blessings of the atonement in our life. This is
my favorite part of the atonement. Not only does Christ’s atonement make it
possible for us to be forgiven of our sins but there is the great enabling
power or grace that comes with it. This is the power that has and is still
moving me forward in going on a mission. I am learning to depend on the Lord. I
can do all that I can and then through the atonement and my prayers of asking
for added heavenly help, I can do all things. Philippians 4:13 says “I can do
all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through Christ we are strengthened. When we
no longer have any strength or power or no more control over a situation, if we
turn to the Lord we will be blessed with the added strength and perspective
that we need to get through. And if it doesn’t come right away just see it as
the great gift of learning patience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Patience truly is a virtue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Just
as prophets of old spoke of the atonement of Christ, we have modern day
apostles and prophets that testify of Christ. In The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints we have Jesus Christ as the head of the church with a
President, President Thomas S Monson, a First Presidency which consists of the
President of the Church and two apostles as counselors and then the Quorum of
the Twelve Apostles who are all called to be special witnesses of Jesus Christ
just as they were when Christ established his church while on the Earth. I
sustain these men and know they are called of God. Here are some of the things
that these special witnesses have said concerning the atonement of Jesus
Christ. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dallin H Oaks of the 12 says “For Latter-day Saints, God’s commandments are
based on and inseparable from God’s plan for His children—the great plan of
salvation. This plan, sometimes called the “great plan of happiness” (</span></span><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/42.8?lang=eng#7"><span class="chunk"><span style="color: #486fae; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Alma 42:8</span></span></a><span class="chunk"><span style="color: #2f393a; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">), explains our origin and destiny as children of God—where we
came from, why we are here, and where we are going. The plan of salvation
explains the purpose of creation and the conditions of mortality, including
God’s commandments, the need for a Savior, and the vital role of mortal and

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I believe the words of these men. They truly testify
of Christ. Now some of you here today may not believe in God or Jesus Christ or
you question your faith or you may not believe and you may question that
Christ's suffering in the garden of gethsemane and on the cross at Calvary was
of any significance but I know of their reality because I have felt the Holy
Ghost testify it to me because I have asked if these things are true. I
know that we have a loving Heavenly Father who wants us to return to him. And
knowing that we, as humans, would make mistakes and give in to our carnal desires,
he provided a Savior, even his only begotten, Jesus Christ at a time when his
own people would not accept him as the man that had been prophesied to be the
savior of all mankind. I know that Jesus Christ was not just an extraordinary
historical figure but that it is through his completely perfect life and
completely selfless sacrifice that we are made clean. I know that when we
sincerely ask to be forgiven of our sins and mistakes through earnest prayer to
our father in heaven, we can be forgiven and our "sins are remembered no
more" and we are then blessed with one of the greatest blessings- a clean
conscience and peace in our souls. I know that in life, I cannot do what I have
been called to do with just my own strength and I will need to be dependent
upon the great gift of the atonement to enable me to do what it is that my
father in heaven wants me to do. I can give all that I have and the rest will
be filled. Immortality and eternal life are possible because of the great
sacrifice that was made by our Savior, our Redeemer, our friend Jesus Christ
and I know the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored today.
All of the keys, ordinances, covenants and blessings are available to us if we
come unto Christ through the restored gospel, have faith in Him and His
atonement, be baptized by someone who holds proper authority, receive the gift
of the Holy Ghost and endure to the end. I know we have modern day prophets who
warn us of the dangers in this turbulent world where the area between right and
wrong is getting larger and larger. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know
the atonement was real and that it was and remains to be the most significant
event in all of history. I know these things to be true and if you do not,
search, ponder and pray and the truth can be shown to you too. I say these
things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior amen.<span style="color: #2f393a;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Cynthia and Claire have left and Jordy and I are just waiting and waiting to go! It's hitting me more and more that I am seriously leaving and actually going on a mission. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please everyone watch <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bFZJ-3zNFg" target="_blank">Thor: The Dark World</a> along with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lodfmWgavd4" target="_blank">The Hunger Games: Catching Fire</a> and whatever other Hunger Games movies come out and Marvel movies between now and May 2015 and listen to any new songs that Taylor Swift comes out with. It is a mission rule that missionaries don't watch or listen to music and stuff and I probably won't be able to see or hear much in Mexico anyway but still. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Sunday October 27th, I am speaking in my ward and all are invited to come just message me for the address and stuff and then later that night there will be a fiesta at my house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will be getting set apart most likely on Tuesday November 5th and then my flight is on Wednesday the 6th and from there I am off!</div>

So if anyone has been paying attention to my countdown that doesn't exist anywhere but my head, my report date has been moved up! I now leave November 6 instead of November 13! There have been some visa issues with people getting to Mexico the week of Christmas and so some rearranging has happened and now I'm leaving a week earlier! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO STOKED!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I am very excited to go on a mission but I really hate missing out on things and not being in the loop and so leaving friends, family, BYU etc for a year and a half may kill me, but then I remember that there are so many blessings that come from living in this technological age where my friends and family can email me and not only email me but send me pictures of all the wonderful things that are happening in their lives, like <span style="color: #cc0000;">WEDDINGS, BABIES, BAPTISMS, WEDEDING DRESS SHOPPING, GRADUATIONS,</span> <span style="color: #cc0000;">TV SHOWS</span>(hint, hint you all know who you are) and then care packages can be sent to me (hint, hint) or normal wonderful letters. What a blessing and then I remember I will be just fine just like when I went to BYU two days after graduation and thought I wouldn't make any friends but I have made <span style="color: lime;">GREAT</span> friends that will be there forever! I've been very, very blessed. </div>

I was just a little anxious/nervous/excited/terrified/super happy/shocked that this was happening in MY life/every emotion on the planet if you can't tell by my shaking hands but I was so so so so relieved with my call and that pause before saying where I was going is because my eyes read faster than my mouth can talk and I had read Mexico, Heavenly Father truly inspired whichever member of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles that assigned me because Mexico has truly been where I have wanted to go pretty much my whole life and now the way has been opened that I can do that and I am so excited. I know that Heavenly Father loves and knows each one of us and if we pray to Him, He will hear and answer our prayers. November is still a few months away but I am patiently waiting. </div>

Now all I have to worry about is getting caught in a drug deal and I can totally handle that!!!

Lately I have been indexing and it's been really fun. I really love seeing where the people who I index were traveling to either by plane or ship. Many of them are from the early to mid 1900s but some are earlier. There are some documents that list what jobs people had on the ship. This week I reached 1,000 names that I had indexed! I have had a great example (my mom) who is indexing all of the time. She LOVES family history work and indexing makes it possible for others to find records about their ancestors through censuses and marriages and other documents. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I have also gained a love for the site <a href="http://familysearch.org/" target="_blank">familysearch.org</a>. In order to view this site you have to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but <a href="http://ancestry.com/" target="_blank">ancestry.com</a> is another great website where you can create pedigree charts and look for your ancestors. It has been really exciting to upload pictures of my relatives to share with others so that their can be a picture to a name. Today my mom sent me a text saying my 10th great grandfather Hezron Leavitt was a juror on a witch trial in New Hampshire in 1680. Now I'm not sure if I'm proud of this but it's history and it brings my ancestors to life for me. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>

One of the reasons I scrapbook is because it is like my own personal history. I treasure my scrapbooks and every time I am home I look through them and reminisce about the good times I have had and how blessed I have been and even how stupid I have been. A few months ago I went home and Rylin and I looked through some of these books and it was really fun for me. The next time I came home Jordy wanted to look through my books and I knew it was because she had seen Rylin and I look through them and knew that that was a way she could spend some time with me. It was really sweet and Paytin would "look through" them by flipping the pages every two seconds. I keep a journal but having pictures along with the memories are more lasting to me. </div>

<div align="center">
Anyway I think everyone should learn more about their ancestors. It's a lot of fun and you learn so much more about yourself. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my blog is completely turning into a missionary blog....oh well. I don't know who even reads this blog but I hope you continue to read. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I looked through a lot of Mormon Messages videos to find one that I wanted to put on my blog and I loved this one for multiple reasons.</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>I love the Book of Mormon and wanted to share something about it. It is a book filled with <span style="color: #0b5394;">TRUTH.</span><span style="color: black;"> <a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm?lang=eng" target="_blank">Here's a link to it. You don't even have to buy the book.</a>There were ancient </span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: red;">PROPHETS</span> </span><span style="color: black;">that lived on the American continent many years ago. Their lives can help us, in today's modern world, become close to our </span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">HEAVENLY FATHER</span> </span><span style="color: black;">and our </span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: purple;">SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST</span> </span><span style="color: black;">and have the </span><span style="color: #f1c232;">HOLY GHOST</span><span style="color: black;"> in our lives daily. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Our modern day prophet <span style="color: #0b5394;">PRESIDENT THOMAS S MONSON </span><span style="color: black;">speaks in the video. His message is short and simple</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">...IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK OF MORMON, READ IT!</span><span style="color: black;"> I echo exactly what he said. This book </span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: #38761d;">WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE</span>. </span><span style="color: black;">Meet with the missionaries or talk with your Mormon friends, they would love to give you a copy. </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>I loved this video because it shows that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is an international church. These youth from Eastern Europe do not speak the same language as me but our feelings about the Book of Mormon are the same. We know it to be the <span style="color: #0b5394;">WORD OF GOD.</span><span style="color: black;"> I love this church because it is truly the restored Church of Jesus Christ. He is the head of the church. It is the only church on the Earth with </span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: #741b47;">ALL</span> </span><span style="color: black;">of the puzzle pieces and when fit together makes a beautiful scene. </span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMJXqWeTCW3W26-Qdu8PmTaAHzoJ0Z9NSRDTEAD6fz5AkuIWrn0SdRKDZQdNDJHQyzaQjAYc1F-OPHMjL2tIAq7fg3U2F_KGGxAlflBd-EwEgcArZDtXMWW6DxReasZO5ik1HMKKI0HA/s1600/mormon-global-faith.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="187" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMJXqWeTCW3W26-Qdu8PmTaAHzoJ0Z9NSRDTEAD6fz5AkuIWrn0SdRKDZQdNDJHQyzaQjAYc1F-OPHMjL2tIAq7fg3U2F_KGGxAlflBd-EwEgcArZDtXMWW6DxReasZO5ik1HMKKI0HA/s200/mormon-global-faith.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<ul>
<li>This video also quotes President Henry B Eyring who is one of Heavenly Father's current <span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="color: #674ea7;">APOSTLES</span>.</span><span style="color: black;"> President Eyring, along with President Boyd K Packer, Elder L Tom Perry, Elder Russell M Nelson, Elder Dallin H Oaks, Elder M Russell Ballard, Elder Richard G Scott, Elder Robert D Hales, Elder Jeffrey R Holland, President Dieter F Utchdorf, Elder David A Bednar, Elder Quentin L Cook, Elder D Todd Christofferson, and Elder Neil L Anderson comprise of the First Presidency of the church and the Quorum of the 12 Apostles just as <span style="color: orange;">Christ's Church</span> was organized in his day! What a blessing! They are God's mouthpieces today and you can find His words <a href="http://www.lds.org/ensign/2013/05?lang=eng" target="_blank">here!</a> </span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HSmfiRulziiZ6WIxJwNUXSmwmwyTjn1xUg6vsRK38ptOjWzQQbb3v8jCigNieWPrEZAU_Vwc7AFyuDpTVA9kBv-6DArmuUhw0S5qfFN62N5YKFtL2jhM25UHC1nb0Si1lcTbW-feWg/s1600/apostles2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HSmfiRulziiZ6WIxJwNUXSmwmwyTjn1xUg6vsRK38ptOjWzQQbb3v8jCigNieWPrEZAU_Vwc7AFyuDpTVA9kBv-6DArmuUhw0S5qfFN62N5YKFtL2jhM25UHC1nb0Si1lcTbW-feWg/s320/apostles2012.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<ul>
<li>One more reason I love this video is because it shows the faith of these people to follow the prophet. Obedience brings blessings and if we follow his words, we are following God and one thing we especially learn from the Book of Mormon is that <span style="color: magenta;">OBEDIENCE TO THE COMMANDMENTS BRINGS BLESSINGS</span> and disobedience brings unhappiness and being cut off from God. Who would ever want that? Take the challenge, even if you already have read the Book of Mormon- read it <span style="color: #0b5394;">AGAIN!</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well if you haven't been able to tell, my desire to serve a mission is here and there is no stopping me now. I love the Gospel. I am grateful for the opportunity I have to bring the joy and blessings of the Gospel to wherever I am called to serve (I should know in about three weeks max!). I want people to have the<span style="color: lime;"> LASTING HAPPINESS</span> that I have because I know there is a great plan, <span style="color: #0b5394;">THE PLAN OF SALVATION</span> that is <span style="color: red;">GOD'S PLAN</span> and we have a purpose on this Earth. So read the Book of Mormon....nothing bad will come from it. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok Happy Sunday! </div>

About a month ago Dad and I helped out at the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5ini3MBWNA" target="_blank">Mormon Helping Hands</a>. It was a lot of fun. We got to pack food boxes for those that need a little extra lift. There were lots of people from our stake there that came to help out. Dad was one of the "trash dudes". That was his obvious job because he is the only one "qualified to take out the trash" at home. We got to wear the best vests in the world! I may have been more excited to wear the vest than to go help out. It's because I knew this is like a prep for when I'm on a mission constantly wearing the Lord's name as one of His servants. I'm getting more and more excited everyday to go and serve the Lord and His people wherever that may be. I would say sorry if this blog turns into a "missionary blog" but I'm not sorry at all. #sorryimnotsorry. <br />

</div>
<div align="center">
Usually I am not one to say a semester was hard, difficult, or stressful but this one was. 2013 has brought a lot of new things into my life that I haven't wanted to deal with and then I wait and wait until I get woken up to real life with a slap to the face.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I am so glad I am now done with finals but I'm leaving this semester knowing I should have and could have done better. I could blame a lot of things on my lack of focus and determintation but what it comes down to is the choices I made and how I used my time. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So today I am beginning again. I am making a fresh start with this spring semester. A lot of things are about to change and I am confident that Heavenly Father has a plan for me and that his ways are higher than my ways. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
With that I announce on my blog that I am going to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This has been a decision I have been thinking about, trying to forget about, pushing aside, waiting on since President Monson's announcement of the age change back in October. Most people that know me will know that this decision did not come from my desire to serve a mission but from my desire to do what Heavenly Father wants me to do. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I am excited for this new experience and am terrified to get my blood drawn next week but I cannot wait to hear where the Lord needs me to be. It's hard to accept that everyone I know here at BYU will be graduated by the time I get back but that does not mean that we will stop being friends because everyone will write to me and won't forget me because I'm me....right? </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
And so a new chapter in my book begins. </div>

Easter happened while we were still in school so we got a group together who wasn't going home to their families and had a nice dinner. It was really fun and great. I love Easter! </div>

I know the Savior really did rise again. He is the Redeemer of the world. Because of the sacrifice He made, we can all live again with Him and our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and for the knowledge and perspective that we have in regards to life, death, our purposes and so many other things. </div>

<span style="color: purple;">Melissa Yvette Alvarado</span></h2>
<h4 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sorry if this sounds like an obituary, I promise it is not. I know Melissa is not dying but is doing pretty much the opposite. </h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Melissa and I have known each other since <span style="color: purple;">6th grade</span> but did not become real friends until <span style="color: lime;">freshman year of high school</span>. We both started playing water polo and obviously we became <span style="color: blue;">best friends</span>. She is wonderful and we have had lots of fun times together. I know we will have more fun times but a lot happens within 18 months but who knows what will happen to either of us within these 18 months like I could have two babies (don't worry this most likely will not be happening seeing as I will be married before I have any babies and who knows when that is going to happen). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have bonded over <span style="color: red;">Taylor Swift</span>. She has a song for everything. We went to two concerts together even though one of them we were seated seperately. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb-K2tXWK4w" target="_blank">This song is our life.</a> (P.S. you have to right click all the links. So just right click everything and then go to copied URL). Usually whenever one of us is sad we will listen to the perfect Taylor Swift songs and all is well again with the world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We also just like to do really stupidly funny things together like pretend she has duck legs and I have frog legs. Not to mention Taco Bell trips, seminary, mormals, any dances actually but <span style="color: yellow;">Mormon dances</span> always top the list of dances. We would get our <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsWrY77o77o" target="_blank">nails done</a>, have sleepovers, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAWVbJ2r9SE" target="_blank">get scared at Knott's Scary Farm and other stupid scary places</a>, play at parks, have boyfriends at the same time, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nC4ta93Mg8" target="_blank">learn great dance moves</a>, and other wonderful things. There are way way way too many to mention. Also Melissa when you read this you have to click on every single link. You don't have to watch the whole video on that last one but every other one you do. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then we graduated from the glorious Tustin High School as Tillers. Because <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_GjI_XorHY" target="_blank">Once a Tiller, Always a Tiller</a>. And so we seperated and thought we would die but we didn't. And so you're going on a mission and I think I will at least die because who will I text at anytime during the day or night and they will know exactly what I was talking about but maybe I won't die and we will both rejoice when we get to see each other again! It will be grand! </div>

Sometimes Mary gets into a really hyper mood and just wants to wrestle with people. Eric is usually around when this happens and he is in the Jiu Jitsu club so he can easily take Mary out but doesn't go all out so that is good and somehow I get mixed in the middle. Here are just a few pictures that document these weird nights. </div>

<span style="color: red;">Christmas</span> </h2>
<div align="center">
This past Christmas was great. Genesee, Tyson, Leslie and Nick all came down from Colorado. I came down from Utah and we were all able to see Shauna, Freddy, Christopher, Andrew and Caden before they left to Alaska on their new adventure. We had such a fun time together. I love being with my family. We took "attitude' pictures and helped make some smile bags for <a href="http://operationsmile.org/" target="_blank">operation smile</a> and it was so fun. We had lots of food and laughter and Dad read A Candle in the Window and it was just great. I can never say enough how much I love my family. </div>
<h2 align="center">
<span style="color: blue;">Disneyland</span></h2>
<div align="center">
During the break I went to Disneyland with Shauna, Freddy and the boys which was so fun. Caden kept calling me Patie and just thought he was so funny. I'm just happy he will let me hold him without completely having a little fit. </div>
<h2 align="center">
<span style="color: lime;">Christopher's Baptism</span></h2>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Christopher got baptized while I was home too. That was such a good day. He is such a good boy and tries his very best to do what is right. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
For some reason I'm not able to post any pictures so I guess I'll try to post them later.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<h2 align="center">
<span style="color: purple;">New Semester</span></h2>
<div align="center">
So I've started winter semester and so far so good. I enjoy my classes (I've gone to every single one so far). Last week I walked to school in -2 degree weather. That was cold. It's been in single digits a lot lately. I got a raise at work. I am reading a lot for my classes but I enjoy it so far so it's all good to me. This semseter will be pretty hard but it will be great. I am excited. </div>

Anyway that is what's going on right now!</div>

I went to Boise, Idaho last weekend with some friends to go to the Boise Idaho LDS temple open house. It was such a fun weekend to just get away from Provo and hang out at a real house! Kurtis has an incredible house and even though his parents weren't there his parent's left us food and we could feel their hospitality! </div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A couple of weeks ago my roommates and I took pictures for our Christmas card. We went to Provo Bicentennial Park which had a lovely bridge, park, and marshy area and it was full of trees and autumm leaves. It was great! Thanks to Laci, who was in our ward last year, she did a great job taking our pictures. Her website is <a href="http://ladylacephotography.com/">ladylacephotography.com</a> so check her out!</span></div>

A couple weekends ago I went home for Tyson's baptism. It was such a fun weekend with family. We all went out to Lucille's and just spent a lot of good quality time together.</div>

Tyson is such a good boy. He's growing up into such a fine little lad. (yes I just said lad). I'm so glad I got to be there for his special day and that I got to see the whole family again (with the exceptions of Erin, Freddy and Bobbie).</div>

Family picture! I was so excited to see Genesee, Leslie, Nick and Tyson who all flew out from Colorado and to see Shauna, Christopher, Andrew and Caden before they leave for Alaska, and Tyler, Melinda, Rylin, Jordyn and Paytin because I live in Utah so I can't see them and of course Mom, Dad and Savannah. It was a fun fun fun weekend trip especially when we were trying to decide who Tyler's favorite sister was (we all know it's me haha jk, I have no idea). </div>
