Melchizedek

So I have had the privilege to study about Melchizedek in my class this week. And holy cow have I learned a ton. So Melchizedek was a man that was highly favored. He was righteous, strong,very obedient and loving towards God. Melchizedek means "king of righteousness, Which fits because he was very righteous in his doings.He is also though to be Shem the son of Noah because there lives seem so similar and would fit together so easily. Crazy right?! Although we don't know much of Melchizedek it is really great knowing more than I did. There are times I realize that I don't know much details about the little things that I hear or read about almost daily. But as I have been studying and expanding my thoughts and knowledge I have come to know and love the little thing that much more. We are so blessed to have this Gospel and all the people in it that have blessed or will bless our lives. I am thankful for Melchizedek for his example and leadership; we have all been deeply blessed thanks to his desires and obedience.

Its been a while

So its been while since i have written on this thing. Sadly my Old Testament class is what is motivating me to write today. I read in Genesis 4-11 and Moses 5-7 and I just really enjoyed it. It's funny how your class reading can be revelation to what you need.. The described men at the time to Enoch and as I red it I cringed. Reading aloud I could picture the Lord explaining with sadness in His voice and tears in His eyes. His children Who He once loved were far from Him physically and spiritually. They did not answer His calls but turned away from Him and His love. It made so sad because I see so many like that today s well; members and non members. When Enoch was called he felt un worthy and unable and that's how I felt when I was called to serve and how i feel when I try and serve or help or share the gospel today, But I love the response that the Lord gave Enoch. Which was basically... Hey I called you, what do you have to worry about, I will tell you what to say and be there every step of the way. I like Enoch have felt this so much in my life. I can remember on the mission there was time that I felt so in acquitted. I felt stretched like never before. So stretched that I thought about breaking and giving up. But I can remember somehow having that faith and energy and love to keep going. Even though i felt so stretched that I thought I would snap, I didn't, NEVER not even once. He always blessed me and helped me. I know that God loves us, He really knows us. He calls us to do certain things that are hard but that only we can do. And when we do them were not alone but forever accompanied. Enoch is great example of walking with God. He obeyed and He fallowed. God leads us if we so choose to accept it or not is our decision. I know that if we fallow and listen we will find happiness and peace. I want to be like Enoch I want to obey and preach. I know my mouth will be filled and I know that I will be lead to where I need to go.

Mothers know best, listen to your mumzy.

What I would do with out this woman I'm not sure. She seriously knows what to say and how to say it. LOVE HER!

Living on the edge.

Seeing as my life consists of work and... work. I have nothing exciting to post. My poor mom is probably worrying for nothing. Anyways here is the month of June according to my phone.

One of the very few FHE's Mer and I went to was a talent show and a guy fire danced!

We see the craziest things at Disney

I bother tubby a lot

Hat parade!

We went to Denny's the other night and two guys ran out on their check!

It was a very entertaining evening.

When Meredith and Adam go to bed I usually watch netflix or conference talks (sunday there was a special broadcast though)

I'm gonna make this place your home.

Tonight was the night, I got my mission call. Can I say that this journey of the pre-mission call is fun but man am I glad it's over. Ive been preparing for this day for a couple of months and I don't think I was at all prepared to feel the way I do.I am so overwhelmed with the love of my Heavenly Father. I know that this calling was and is for me, I can feel it and I am so excited to serve the people in San Salvador. As soon as I saw(I cheated and totally peaked) the words El Salvador My heart dropped. But when I read them out loud how musical they sounded to me. I am so scared and so excited to serve Him. I feel inadequate for this call but I know that on that black name tag His name will be right next to mine. What ever I cannot fill, He will fill the rest. So I will be serving as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and will be bringing the People of San Salvador to Christ and sharing with them the restored gospel. How truly grateful I am for this opportunity. (El Salvador San Salvador East Mission) I report October 16th and will be going to the Mexico MTC.

Growing

Today I found my self reminiscing through my senior year pictures. I can remember feeling on top of the world. I had the best friends a girl could ask for, an awesome internship for the summer, and the big step of "moving out" was on its way. Then I think about that summer after high school; what short period of time, yet everything changed. I was no longer on top of the world, my internship kicked my butt and best friends weren't real friends at all. That summer I changed and I gained a new friend, one that would never leave me, who listened like no other, and who guided me back to the iron rod. I am so grateful for that summer because I learned who my Savior was and I gained a strong relationship with my Heavenly Father. How grateful I am to be who I am now. I look back and see how much I have grown, but I could have never done it alone. Thank you.

Florida

It is so different here. When I first got here I was a little in shock. But as time goes on I think I am getting used to it. The first few weeks were filled with getting ready to start work and a lot of down time but having to go to Disney for training helped me regain sanity by giving me something to do. Saturday will be my first official day of work (not training), I am really excited to start and just have productive days. BUGS.... I feel like there are so many bugs here, I'm sure there are just as many at home but, holy cow its like all these bugs are new!! I swear all the bugs I have seen here, I have never seen at home before, I think that's why they creep me out so much. Oh and its like lizard galore here! SERIOUSLY I can count on seeing at least one lizard everyday here. My goal was to hold one but I'm not sure that's gonna happen. Today I was able to touch one and just about crapped my pants when he moved away. I need to work on not being a pansy. I have had a lot of fun here too, I have gone to a lot of Disney and have had little adventures with the Dickson's. Like me and Meredith went on a dive in the second biggest aquarium in the world. (Not everyone can say that right?) It was so FUN! Meredith s dad found a shark tooth at the bottom floor and we all were feet away from a real life shark! I'm partly in so I know there is more to come, so to more adventures I go. *Thanks Cricket for being such a sport and taking pictures with and of me, YOUR THEEE BEEST ;D
