CameraCrazy&GoodFriends&FireNation

Wow I have a lot to catch up on, but I think I've had more fun in the past few weeks than I had all last semester. If not that, it definitely came close!
First of all, a bunch of the girls in my ward decided to do a little Harlem shake response to the one that the guys did.
Please enjoy this wonderful display of boredom and hyperness.

Other than that, we had our ward talent show 2 weeks ago. It was a lot of fun to watch everyone's talents because there are so many funny people in my ward! The best part however was definitely the skit that I was a part of with a few of my friends. We did a parody of the "Boys will be Girls" and "Girls will be Boys" YouTube video that the Harvard sailing team did. We called ours "Elders will be Sisters, Sisters will be Elders."
Please enjoy and hopefully you will find this as funny as we think we are.

By now, hopefully you can tell that I have the most incredible friends ever! I couldn't have asked for better friends to have while up here at college. I am so grateful for their influence on me and how much they help me when I need them or I'm down. I love it!
Jordan and I have become especially good friends with 2 girls in my ward, Micaela and Lindsay. We hang out ALL the time. It's actually come to a point where we have to ground ourselves from each other because we'll end up talking for like 3 hours and get nothing done. We're not even really allowed to eat with each other because we talk too much. When we do hang out though on weekends, it's so much fun.
Yay for doing random stuff and not caring what people think <3

Midnight In-N-Out runs. Totally typical right? haha


 Lindsay & Zac's "Zip Bong?" game. SO FUNNY. You apparently aren't allowed to show your teeth so they were trying to make each other laugh and it was so entertaining. Zac definitely makes the best faces!

Hahahaha so Jordan got her wisdom teeth out the other weekend and was on a lot of drugs. One time, I looked on my phone and found all of these random photos on my phone. I blame the drugs. lolz

This picture is hilarious because not only is it like 2 a.m., but look at Micaela's leg! It looks like it's my leg. When I saw this we literally laughed about it for a good 5 minutes. So funny. 

I love Lindsay! She always makes these crazy ice cream cones and it's hilarious. 
Mens volleyball game! It was such a good game. We were facing Stanford and it was definitely a good fight. We went to 5 games and barely won. I believe we're #1 in the nation for volleyball. Yay morms!
One time, we were talking about pie and then we were talking about pie shakes and how much we REALLY wanted one at that moment. So then we sweet talked Micaela into driving us to Sammy's in the middle of the day to get the best pie shakes ever! If you live in Provo and haven't been, you seriously need to get your butt down there. I recommend the Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake shake. It's heavenly.

To top off my fun activities with friends, we had a winter olympics on our President's Day holiday! It was SO much fun. There was a bunch of different countries (and fantasy countries/places) and we did all sorts of events like sledding, speed skating, human curling, a snowball fight, and soccer. I obviously had the best team, we were Fire Nation (from Avatar). We took the bronze but BARELY. We would've tied for 2nd I think but they mis scored the snowball fight and so we ended up in 3rd. It was still really fun though.

1st in soccer, but mostly because Sarah is on the BYU soccer team. (: 



I surprised myself and was actually really good at human curling. Except, it was more like sled down the hill and try to land within the target. At one point, I got hit pretty hard but it wasn't too bad. It was my favorite event!

1st place in the sledding relay! Everyone's sleds broke but it was still way fun. 

I wish this wasn't blurry, but 3rd place baby! Yay for bronze medals.

On other news,

I SUBMITTED MY MISSION PAPERS!!! 

Today is actually the 1 week countdown until my call should come in. I'm so excited. I can't wait to finally find out where the Lord wants me to serve for 18 months.
We cleaned off the map and I put up something official for Jordan's call to France Lyon!


Stay tuned to hear! I'm so excited.

Lessons from the Book of Mormon

So something that I really enjoyed talking about 2 weeks ago in Book of Mormon was Samuel the Lamanite. I always knew he was an incredible prophet, but after studying and learning from Samuel, he has by far become one of my favorite prophets. So we know he's a Lamanite from his name, but not only that, he was a Lamanite preaching and chastising a whole city of wicked Nephites. Before he even got to that point, he tried to preach to the Nephites, but they rejected him. When the Lord told him to try again, he was obedient and went back even though he had no idea how he was going to get through to them. He got up on that wall and had the courage to chastise the Nephites, speaking for the Lord in 1st person saying, "I will visit them with the sword and with famine and pestilence." (Helaman 13:9) Can you imagine the courage that would take? He's basically telling them that they're doomed because of their wickedness. Even when they got angry and started to throw arrows and rocks, he stood up there with confidence in the Lord. 
I'm grateful for Samuel's courage and the example he set. I could only hope that if I was in that situation, I would have the courage to share the gospel and be obedient to the Lord. 

Laugh of the Day: 

So this has been kind of a video & picture post so here are some of my favorite youtube videos lately. Each one gets funnier every time you watch it. SO GREAT.
