What up everyone!?!   funny story.... this last week we had a reunion with other sisters from our mission, and when we were there, there was a Hermana from Utah, and she plays soccer as well, and is a blonde canchita, so we make two--funny part is that she was like, "sister Morris, I have a confession to make," and i was like, what the flip, I just met you today… what are you going to say!?!? She said "when i was still at home, i found the Facebook page that is something like missionary moms for Guatemala, and she said that i was the only one that she found from this mission, so she started to stalk me, and found my blog spot, and after that she would get on every Monday to read what was new, haha!!! Super funny!!!!! It was really awesome…so we took a picture together, and i guess she is also really good at food contests and won like a hot dog eating contest…funny!! So yeah, this reunion was at a chapel, that neither my comp, nor i, or the other sisters knew how to get there, and i had only been there one time, so i was like, no problem, lets go, and we got really lost, listening to the other sisters, cause i was like its this way, and then the three of them said is was another way, and we ended up back tracking and eventually i got us there, which i was really impressed that I remembered how to get there!!!     

This week we have changes!!! ahh!!! super sad!!! i will be leaving my very first area (after almost 7 months) which is super crazy!! It is sad to be leaving my family here, but I am excited to get to know more people!!! wahoo!!!! This area was awesome, and my comp is going to be training—sweet!!!!   She is super awesome, and has by far been one of my best comps!!!! Tied with the awesome Hermana Lopez from California!!  I am sad to say bye.... but that is the mission....many goodbyes...

I hope you all had a great week!! We have been reading about the attributes of Christ, and focusing on trying to develop all of those attributes, and it has really helped me to know more about my savior, and to try to be more like him!! Our savior lives, he loves us, and he wants what is best for us all!!! Just as our parents tell us things to do, and things to not do that will harm us, he has given us commandments that will help us be happy in life, and so many people these days try to say that there are some less important, but they are all super important, and every law has its purpose!! Live each one with exactitude!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEATON!!!! and Aunt Lori last week. And happy one year home -mark Kayla! And WELCOME HOME JENI!  I can not wait to hear about your mission to Italy!!

 Love you all and hope you have a fantastic week.
