Tabitha Rae Young & Aunt Tawny

i literally have no words. for any of you. I AM SO INCREDIBLY THRILLED TO BE AN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUNT!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!! WELCOME T-RAE!!!!!!! where can i even BEGIN?!!! nowhere. i am just... wow. so incredibly grateful. so thankful for family. i love you. what a huge understatement that sounds like! sheesh.

what a tm that president donaldson was here that day. no really. he's not here that often AND neither am i (at the same time) AND the battalion was crazy that day AND i just HAPPENED not to be on a tour the day 1200 people came through... and he HAPPENED to answer the phone when i was right there...i mean--what are the odds?!! i tell you they are SLIM! heavenly father is SO AWARE OF US AND THE LITTLE DETAILS OF OUR LIVES!!!!

i really can't think of anything to say. this morning as i was running around in the state park i couldn't help but beam... i seriously just feel so hapy and so grateful. i cannot even express this... this this LOVE that i feel. the gratitude and appreciation i have is absolutely pouring out of me!

this past week we had investigators come to church. what? no you heard me. they came. THREE OF THEM!!!!!!! i know i know i know. like i said. i'm just grateful. we have so much to do and just NOT ENOUGH TIME. haha. wow! i love teaching the gospel. and what a win win that my sins are forgiven as i do so!

the battalion day was INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE. so freaking slammed. we took tours back to back to back absolutely crammed to the BRIM. you would've hated the herd willy!! and spike! mooooo.

i KNOW that this gospel is true. i know it i know it i know it. it is the only thing that heals our hearts and families. it is the only thing that gives us hope. it is the only thing that gives us direction. it is the only thing that is constant--and i am so thankful to be able to share it with others. i feel so contenta to be here. i love la mesa, my companion, the branch, the other missionaries... i'm just so thankful.

i love you. keep me posted with the growth of the little one. :) ah! i love you, family!!!
