I've Hit My One Year Mark!

Funny Story: A* was trying to prepare a talk on love. She wanted a couple verses to back her up a bit, and asked us for advice. We sent her to the book, Songs of Solomon, in the Bible, and assured her there were PLENTY of verses describing love. :) She called us back 20 minutes later saying, "Those weren't the verses I wanted!" My companion and I had a really good laugh. :)

cool Article: There is no middle ground, youth media, Read it if you want. Not gonna take the time to summarize it.

Elder Pino a member of the Area Presidency came and talked to us. Thought he'd have some mind-blowing new doctrine to give us. Just showed us a picture of a horse obediently tied to one of those really light plastic chair and said, "mental ties are stronger than any physical bond we can make. WAKE UP." However, the more time I have to think about that experience, the more I like it. :)

One year mark: Wow. It was suuuper crazy the day Elder Evans and I completed a year in the mission. We realized that every day on the calendar won't get a second shot anymore. Wow. We ate sushi, watched Meet the Mormons with R*, E*, P*, and her kids and then ate chocolate cake. It was thoroughly enjoyable. It was crazy at the end seeing a missionary go out and realizing that I did that exactly a year ago, in exactly that spot... On top of that, the San Felipe Branch loved us SSOOOOO much they threw a HUGE party after that. No, just kidding. It was a party for independence day. :)

Independence Day: SSSUUUPER FUN!!! I have a bunch of videos but I get the feeling you'll know more about it by watching the ones on FB.
