12. talked to a super old lady and her advice for us was "don't get married until you are 26!!" then she told us how she married her husband at 18 after knowing him for 3 days.... uhhhhh......

13. so we spend a lot of time with YSAs right!? well this week we had to talk to all the RS presidents in the stake and a lot of them are the moms of people in our ward... so we were given the task of not laughing when the mom answered the door and she looks JUST LIKE HER SON!! like exactly!! hahahha it was so dang funny! it happened over and over and over. we couldn't hold it together. do i look that much like my mamas?

14. we had a guy RM come out with us this week and in the prayer before we left i said these two things... "thank you that he wants to go out with us tonight" "please bless us to take advantage of him" In ANY other setting that prayer would have been SUPER WEIRD hahaha #missionlife

been thinking a lot about this song i love... it's called 

"More Like Thee"

 by Suzanne Disparte 

 We Must Sing album. 

maybe the best song of my life. you MUST listen to it....

"faith to move what can't be moved

that which proves what can't be proved

hope to make the world seem light

shining through the dark of night

grant me these that i may be

more dear Savior, more like Thee

light that burns away my doubt

casting all the shadows out

love so pure it flows like rain

bringing life where once was pain

grant me these that i may be

more dear Savior, more like Thee"

more like the Savior everyday. 

that's the plan. 

trying alone, i'm sunk. 

 together He and I can get somewhere :)

LOVE YOU!!
