General Conference!! Best Week Ever! =)

Family. . .  Family. . . Family. . .
I do not even know WHERE to start! This week was just so incredible! We had the chance to really have so much success this week compared to last week. We had 6 LESSONS!! (I know this seems so small. . . but it is a true miracle). Being in the bible belt is hard enough then add in that you can only teach Spanish or you have to refer the English people to the other missionaries sets in for some serious complications. But it was a truly incredible week and we are seeing much success coming from our prayers and labors. .
Well to start off. . .haha. I will tell you a hilarious joke that the elders played on us but the claim to have not done it. . (they totally did).
So last Monday as we are walking out the door to go to the dinner at the Farfan's, Hermana Johnson looks down. . and sees a big pile of dog crap sitting on our mat. haha. Oh man she was like what the?!? and we are all laughing and we are like the elders have to have done it because what are the odd chances a dog comes to the 2nd floor of the apartment complex and chooses our mat to poop on and the owner doesn't clean it up. So the Elders definitely got a kick out of it. The Zone leaders stopped by that night to drop something off and they were like. . .would you like us to clean this up for you?!? haha. We promise Elder Reymund didn't do it. (which means we are convinced it was elder Bradshaw!). but it was a funny moment.
This week we have been teaching many first lessons. It has been good and we have seen much success. . . but it was also a rough time during some of the lessons.
During one of the lessons it literally was probably the WORST lesson I have had on my mission. . He doesn't have a ton of knowledge of religious things which is fine. But we wanted to just talk about the love of god. that is it! so we are going to read a scripture from the bom and we explain that it is similar to the bible and things and prophets came up and then he asked what a prophet is and it just went downhill from there. And it was frustrating because he would really let us explain things and just would ask more questions. So we were getting frustrated. Then he had the nerve to talk to the sweet member that we brought with us (who I feel so bad because it was seriously a horrible lesson and she probably thinks we are horrible missionaries. .) about how we don't understand what he is saying in Spanish and ask if we even believed the same things she was explaining. .  (mind you we understood the whole conversation!! ugh! haha). but I am trying to let it go and get over it! I will be more Christlike. . . =)
We also had an interesting lesson with a former investigator last night. . it was good but still a little confusing. He just knows lots of what we do and refuses to pray and things. He also apparently had a crush on the previous Hermana (who is now home and married) but it will be interesting to have another appointment with him.
Well. . . this week was full of meetings! Which was AMAZING! I love to have the chance to be spiritually uplifted and fulfilled! =)
First off we had interviews with President Baker. It was fun because before interviews we met up with the sister training leaders and had a pizza picnic in the park! They are the greatest and we just have so much fun with them. Anyways. . .Back to interviews. . .
President is truly so inspired. So we were all asked to take a question into the interview and he would try to answer it the best he could. . . and poor president. ..  I come up with probably one of the most difficult questions because it has been truly bothering me lately haha. but it is something that is hard to answer because there isn't a straight answer if that makes sense. I asked him how I could improve my memory. . because lately my memory has been shot to bits. For example the poop story from earlier this week was brought up and I could not for the life of me remember until they started explaining it again and then it came back. But it truly has been something that has been really troubling for me and is just frustrating. I can't remember the lesson plans and things we create in the morning and it's just bad. . so I asked him about it and he seriously gives the greatest answers. He just receives direct revelation from Heavenly Father. .
Then it was neat because I closed with a prayer and I said please help us to find more investigators and more specifically a family that we can teach. . .
Then Hermana newman has her interview comes out and asks what I said about our area and if I said anything about a family. haha. And I told her about my prayer. She said that president Baker prayed for us during her interview for our righteous desires to come true. Then to make this even better. . after planning that night we receive a phone call from the Zone leaders with a reference of a family in our area! BAM! Direct answer to prayers right there.
And we also found another family who was a reference that we have an appointment for on Wednesday! But how neat is that. . Heavenly Father is truly watching out for us! =)
Then of course we had conference this week!! How INCREDIBLE is it that we have the chance to listen to a prophet of God?!?!? If you do not understand that we have a prophet of god or have a testimony of this please go watch conference and re listen to his words!
If you haven't watched conference get online RIGHT NOW and watch it! We have living prophet and apostles that receive direct inspirtation and guidance from our heavenly father!! Heavenly Father is talking directly to us at this time! Such a blessing!
Anyways. . as missionaries we had the option to watch it in a home but we as a companionship chose to watch it at the church and lots of the other missionaries did too. Basically the chapel was all missionaries then like one or two famalies a session. We sadly didn't have any investigators there which was a bummer but we were spiritually uplifted.
One comment that is a little off topic but annoyed me all conference. . haha. I thought the yellow flowers behind them made them all look a little more yellow and I swear some of the apostles looked like they had juandis. . (Sp?). Anyways. . But I did get a tender mercy and had the chance to see some beautiful Sunflowers on one of the side angles. anyways back on topic. .
Conference was INCREDIBLE!! I saw so many forewarnings of things coming in the future. The sessions were started off strong and just kept getting better and better. I truly enjoyed the talks on the "whirlwinds" Andersens' and Hollands' were both so incredible. And I seriously feel like the world is not only going to go through some serious tragedies (hurricanes, tornadoes, etc) but it will also be such a spiritual devestation as well. It brings me such sadness that we would descend to such a level.
I truly loved when Hale's spoke and just was BOLD. .. "Be careful WHO you follow". . man if you didn't feel the intensisty of that statement please go watch it again. Then I loved the question he asked "why do we choose to be disobedient knowing the eternal consequences? the answer: they love satan more than god". .
I saw that was a theme throughout all of conference. That we are going to face trials and tribulations as a church especially. That we will need to DEFEND OUR BELIEFS as a church. And how we can to that through COURAGE AND COURTESY! We need to LOVE our neighbors and continue doing the things that god wants us to do.
There were so many warnings this conference. And I thought it was really neat that President Monson didn't announce any temples. (bummer. . but this is what I got from it). . .that we as a church need to work harder to get more members so that we can have more temples. It was just such an inspiration to me that we need to do more of OUR PART as a church. . bringing others to the gospel!
I thought it was also interesting that many of the talks were exactly what I had just recently studied or that I truly needed. I could feel the direct answers to prayers.
Interestingly enough one of my favorite talks this conference was the talk by Gary E. Stevenson about the Olympics! Man. . . so strong!
I loved it. . .this is our 4 minutes . . and what are we going to do with these four minutes we have that determine our eternity? 
We are going to reflect on those four minutes for the rest of eternity. . .we need to do those things that are aligning ourselves with the gospel more deeply and better than ever before. The world is going to progressively get worse and worse and we need to become more and more righteous and courageous and stand for what we belief. We are going to have to defend our faith more and more and we need to be strong enough to do so!
I also truly enjoyed Ballard's talk as a missionary. You do not know how important first off  extending a commitment is then more importantly FOLLOWING UP!! I was so touched by this talk! As a missionary it is all we do. Extend and follow up. 
Did you also hear the challenge he gave?!??!
INVITE SOMEONE ONCE A QUARTER TO LISTEN TO THE MISSIONARIES!! that means each of us as members has the responsibility to invite others to listen to the gospel FOUR times a year. . . that is a lot but I know that we can do it! If each member took this challenge imagine all the blessings we can receive and the many members we would also have in this church. =)
There was also a challenge to study preach my gospel!?! =) I LOVE PREACH MY GOSPEL! As missionaries we study this divine book each and every day. I hope that we can find a way to study it as a family. I was thinking that we should all focus on a chapter each week (like family chapter theme for the week or a couple of pages or something) then start a group email all about what we are learning?!? Anyone in? ;) It is so great to have the chance to share what we know about the gospel and also to STUDY the gospel. . especially together as a family. That is where we see the most miracles as missionaries. .. when a family works together to progress in the gospel. Somewhere in the conference it was said that we must not leave our families behind. . and that is so true. We must not leave our families behind and if we start doing gospel things as a family first we will be rewarded for our righteousness. =)
As I was studying this morning in the scriptures I was reading in 2 Nephi 6-7 and I was really touched by the statement multiple times "they will not be ashamed who wait for me". we shall not be ashamed of our beliefs and I just love that. As the warnings from our prophets and apostles came I just could see this scripture popping out in my mind! We will NOT be ashamed!
I forgot to tell you my amazing encounter with a disgusting food. . . haha. It was decided that SPAM is DISGUSTING! haha. I am not the biggest fan of it and I don't think I will ever be. The other Hermanas were making me laugh as we discussed the meal afterwards. . Hermana Newman calls it "something posing as meat" and Hermana Johnson was describing it as "a combination of cat, dog, bat, and many other animals." they were killing me. . although I have to admit. . definitely is not very great.This week we also had English class and I wish you could have been a fly on the wall. Hermana Johnson was teaching about the body. . .and we definitely made them do head shoulders knees and toes. ahha. Oh hilarious. Brought me so much joy. =)
Well to my incredible family. . . I love you all so much and know that you are all the best family this missionary could have asked for! You are so incredible and amazing! I miss you each and every day but know that this short 13 months ahead of us is going to fly by! I can't believe it has been 5 months already. . It is crazy! But I know that the joyous reunion will be one of the best days ever! I love you all so much!
To Marci and Goober have an EXCELLENT birthday this week!! =) I know you crazies know how to party, so stay in line. ;) I love you, Happy birthday!
And to one of my bestest friends in the whole world. . . I CANNOT WAIT to hear where you are serving the Lord! Have a blast opening your call (hopefully it will come this week!!). . I cannot wait for you to join me in the beautiful land of Chesapeake Virginia. . ;)
I LOVE YOU ALL!
And as they say in the South. . ."Have a blessed day" =)
Love you,
Hermana Gray


*Remember to choose the right and remember where you came from and who you are returning to!*

Our beautiful trees EVERYWHERE! I am in love with Spring! =)

Teaching Spanish Class

Lunch with the sister training leaders randomly before interviews

We won a car!

Life as a Missionary... =)

Oh goodness, Family! I love you all so much and miss you all so much!
I cannot believe another week has FLOWN by! This week was seriously so stinking fast. I have no idea why but it just was so fast. I can't believe it. The mission seems to just be going more and more quickly. I can't believe I will be at 5 months next sunday!! (Happy anniversary TJ and Meg!) and conference for everyone else! =)
Well this week was a welcome to the true life of a missionary. . . TRACTING..... haha. Oh goodness are we such an awkward people. We basically go and knock on someones door. . introduce ourselves as representatives of the Savior and then ask if they have interest in the true church! What a WEIRD concept! But it is so wonderful to bring others to the gospel! Even with all the awkward moments we go through as missionaries! And believe me.. .. there are MANY! =)
Oh something I forgot to mention last week. . . when we had transfer meeting I knew two of the Elders from Lehi! =)
Elder Unatoa! =) And also Elder Black! (he played football with Colton!) So that was neat but I wanted to tell Colton that he says hello. And that he had a great time in California with your family!
So that was fun to see people I actually know.
Last Monday night we went to the home of the Hamilton family with the Ramirez family too (jesus Miriam and Natasha). and then they also had a friend over there her name is Gissel. And we had FHE with them and they did it all and it was so fun! We watched a video about temples. Asher gave a short talk/lesson on it. Then we played the candy bar game! It was super fun and simple. They are the greatest family ever! Always spreading the gospel! We have an appointment with Gissel this Wednesday so hopefully something will come from it! =) Member referrals are the greatest! And the ones who are most likely prepared to hear the gospel and join because of their friends influence and example!
One of the funniest moments of the week. . .. Hermana Johnson spilled it out to me:
So on my desk I have Grandma Gobles little biography she wrote to us. And I read it every so often when I have time. So come to find out Hermana Johnson was like I have something to confess to you. . . Hermana Sahleen and I started reading it and thought it was super great! They would steal it while we were finishing companionship study or during lunch when we were still out and about and read it out loud to eachother. =) I love them. They were like. . . WE HAD TO KNOW IF IT WAS ANOTHER GIRL OR IF IT WAS FINALLY A BOY!!! haha. I was dying. They got like 60 pages in before she got transferred. I just thought it was hilarious. I didn't care that they were reading it. =) So funny though! Glad my grandmother could provide entertainment for the hermanas.
We have been doing some tracting actually false. . .LOTS of it! haha. But we are knocking doors and visiting formers and we have a few potentials this week to visit. We visited a former named Eliberta she is probably in her 60's. She is super nice. She was falling asleep during our lesson though. She had just gotten back from her night shift at work. . haha. But she lives with a guy named Antonio and he was really listening intently. He was super interested so we are excited to have another lesson with them on Tuesday! Hopefully they will be there! =) He was really interested though and was intrigued about a living day prophet.
Esteban isn't coming to church anymore. . . =( Basically he just had a crush on Hermana Nord so that is a bummer. But I think he felt the spirit at church. He called us trying to get her information (which I don't have and if I did I would NOT give it to him on my life). . But it was the scariest feeling when I was talking to him. I just had to restate our purpose as missionaries tell him if he wanted to learn again to call us and we would start teaching him again (the elders to be exact). So that was a hard phone call but a good one to know. It is sad that people misunderstand the purpose of missioanries and mix their feelings too. I know he's felt the spirit but he needs to choose to accept it.
WE visited VAllerio this week (MA) and learned all of his story. He is incredible. He came to America once.. . didn't make it. Him and his family new he needed to be here. So he had a pastor come over and say a prayer and he said he would make it here. He left his wife and three kids behind, came to America. His youngest child was 1 when he left. He hasn't seen his children in 6 years!! CRAZY RIGHT!?!? He is the greatest though. Always so happy and working so hard to provide a life for him and his children. He talks to htme all the time and works so hard. He cleans a movie theater at night for a living. He is so dedicated and persistent. He is one of the happiest people I know and the gospel truly changed his life. It was incredible. =) He also makes me laugh because he was jamming out to some awesome Spanish music when we got there. And he has a mexi stache which just makes me laugh. I will have to get a picture with him one day just so you can see how cool he is. =)
This weekend was the baptism of two of the cutest girls in the branch! EMily Castillo and Brandy Farfan! They are so adorable! I just love them. It was above and beyond! They made so much food, chicken, rice, beans, three types of pasta, stroganoff, potato salad, and then the desserts. . brownies and cake!
Wow was it intense food and décor and all of the above but it was super special for it! =)
Emily is like a little sister to me. She is so cute. She was super nervous when I got there and was like Sister Gray hold my hand I am NERVOUS! (she was getting her hair done).
But she was super excited by the end and it was interesting because the baptism was half Spanish half English. So they did half the talks in Spanish and English. It was neat. Brandy was baptized in English and Emily in Spanish. Emily's dad isn't a member so that was neat to have him there too. And see her take this step in her life.
That night we also had the chance to go to the womans broadcast! WOW oh wow did I enjoy that! Makes me that much more excited for conference! =)
We watched it in English. I missed the first talk though because I saw Miriam show up during it and we had to go and make sure the Spanish tv was working in the RS room (it wasn't) so we had to get the stake guy to come and help us and we got it working for her and Laura (another recent convert). They were so grateful! So I missed the first talk although I heard a little of it while we were setting up the stuff. I was SHOCKED how quickly the primary children caught on to the song! Wow that was neat!
My favorite talk of the night was probably Eyrings. His was fantastic. I also enjoyed Linda K. Burton's. But my favorite quote of the night was "You are more alike as daughters of God than you are different!" How true is that! I was so happy to feel the spirit that night so strongly and just feel of the love of our heavenly father. It also was neat because I knew all my sisters and mom were watching it at the same time (ours started at 8-9:30). So it was neat because I could feel you watching it too and knew how happy this was making you and the revelation and feelings you were getting. AHHH!! Chills! I just love it!
Sunday was incredible! Testimonies were so great. The cute Hamilton family announced they were returning to the English ward which was so sad for the branch. They are truly loved. But they are needed elsewhere. Abuelita bares her testimony each month and it truly brings me joy. She says the same thing each time and always makes a comment about our "handsome leaders". She cracks me up. One of the greatest old ladies ever! =) 
Oh another funny moment of the week was Hermana Newman and CAmps first Abuelita's. Hermana Camps was STRUGGLING... it was Hiliarious! I had to help her with her Quaker. She couldn't finish it. So great!
The Mueller's also had us over for dinner along with 4 other families in the branch so it was so fun to get to know all of them a little better! We had some delicious carne asada.And then HORCHATA which is like drinking a cinnamon roll. Yep, heaven in a cup! I need to get the recipe to make that. It was SO delicious. haha. I will definitely be making you all some delicious Mexican food when I get home. =) Already have a couple of salsa recipes and just normal recipes too! =)
Well family! I am SO SO SO excited for conference! We as missionaries will be watching it in English! (I guess I could watch it in Spanish if I truly wanted too). In our emails from President today we were told we could watch it in a member, LA, or non-members home if we would like to. As long as we can feel the spirit and not be distracted. So that will be interesting if we have that opportunity. Although we might watch it just at the church too. Who knows!
This week was so wonderful though! I can't believe I have been out almost five months! Time flies as a missionary. I am so weirded out by the passage of time. I can remember so vividly saying goodbye to all of you it feels like yesterday, but I cannot believe it was 5 months ago. It boggles my mind. And I know that our reunion will come so quickly and I just want to become the best missionary in the world! Conquer all! =)
I love you all so much! General Conference is so amazing and I hope you all take the time to watch it and take a question with you to conference. One of my favorite talks of conference was by Robert D. Hales last conference when he talked about the IMPORTANCE of General conference! If you don't remember it go and read it! And if you do remember it read it again! We all can receive so many blessings from watching general conference. This is the only time we have to listen to a prophet of the lord! How significant is this opportunity!!!?!?!? LISTEN with all your heart. You will be blessed!
I love you all so much! Have a wonderful week, Be safe in your travels, and don't have too much fun without me, and if you do be sure to take lots of pictures and act like I am there. ;)
Love you,
su favorita Hermana,

Hermana Gray










Life as a Missionary

Well, Family sounds like all is well!
Mom has been giving me an update on March Madness and I want all of you to know that if I were there right now I would be defending my title and you all would have no chance! But as I am not I wish the best for all of those who are in it. ;) And Diva Dearest. . .I am sorry Duke lost in the first round (at least that was the rumor at church. haha). ;)
Well. . . not a whole ton happened this week. We didn't have too much success finding investigators. We got a couple of referrals from English people (aka them pointing out where the Hispanics live) But we didn't have any success. They were all not home. So we will see. This week seems like it will be a lot of tracting and praying. haha. They seem to go hand in hand. Although we did have the chance to visit with a lot of the members because Hermana Nord was saying goodbye. So it was great.
Cute Jesus and Miriam and Natasha. . . where to begin with them?!?! Oh I just love their family so much. Miriam is so sad that Hermana Nord and I are no longer a companionship but she is so happy that I am here too. She is so cute and is like I want to be there throughout your life. . when you get married. . . have kids. .. all of it! She is the greatest. But they were so nice and took us to Plaza Azteca (a Mexican restaurant) to say goodbye to Hermana nord and then we had an FHE with them where Jesus gave an excellent message on Faith.
Then Wednesday night we went over there to share a message and say final goodbyes. Hermana Nord also gave Natasha a BOM that her little sisters seminary class had read and marked their favorite passages and stuff. And then chosen to send it to Natasha. =) So we gave them that and we all took the time to mark one of our favorite passages in it. And I cannot say how much it melts my heart to just see this cute family marking their favorite scriptures together. I just love it! =) Then not even joking I wanted to bawl (I didn't. . . shocker I know. . . but I was truly touched). They bought Hermana Nord and I Willow trees. Yes. . . willow trees. I know so cute. They bought us the surrounded by love one. Where the girl is holding flowers. They were telling us that they wanted us to know we are surrounded by their love always. They are just the greatest family ever. I was so truly touched by this gesture though. And cute Natasha bought two angels and she is like they are to remind me of the angels that found us. And she named them Hermana nord and gray. haha. She is adorable! I just love them.
Hermana Newman and I also had the chance to go and visit them yesterday evening. We shared a message with them about family history work and no joke they are so stellar. They were like this is incredible. They want to go to the temple so badly. It is so neat to see them progressing. I also asked them how they met and Jesus and his story of it just cracks me up. He was like well I was a welder and I worked outside in the street and she had to pass by me everyday to get to the market to buy tortillas and things for her uncles store/restaurant thing. So one day I decided to whistle at her and it was all down hill from there. ;) He cracks me up. He seriously is the greatest. They are adorable though. (I guarantee I say this about a hundred times each letter so I am sorry but I need to think of a different word to describe them!). haha.
We will be having an FHE with them tonight. The Hamilton's are having them over and wanted us to come too. So I am excited.
This week Abuelita also fed us early because she wanted to say goodbye to the Hermana's. So we go there and we are STUFFED already because the day before we had eaten tons of food at Plaza Azteca. So we are like oh no this is going to be bad. So all the hermanas are dying. . eating our food. Seriously Hermana Sahleen and Nord were just struggling (I can hold my own when it comes to food. . although I thought I wasn't going to be able to hold it in after). But Hermana Johnson and I are fine. Hna. Sahleen is plotting how to get rid of the rest of her soup (the appetizer) we are like just go flush it down the toilet while they are in the kitchen. haha. Anyways Hna. Sahleen ends up eating it. We all get our plates of food. And no joke they FORGOT to feed Hermana Sahleen. She lucked out. We were like HOW HERMANA?!?! It was hilarious though. I feel accomplished though because I ate it all real fast. The new hermanas (Newman and Camps) get to experience Abuelita right after emails because Hermana Torres has to work on Wednesday and today is her only day off to feed us. So they will be introduced to Abuelita early in life. =)
WEdnesday was SUPER busy visiting people. We tried to visit as many people as we could to say goodbye.
We went to say goodbye to Arelis and shared a good message with her. All about General Conference and we invited her to watch it with us at the church. It will be interesting. The last time we brought up living prophet she read all of Hebrews to us.haha. She didn't agree. But this past time she wasn't argumentative at all and actually was really interested. We will see if she will come and listen though!
Thursday came. . . and our new companions arrived. We went to the meeting at the church and did a switch a roo. It was really fun actually and it has been exciting introducing Hermana Newman to all of our members, and less actives, and "investigators". We are still struggling with finding people. This next week we will be seeing/knocking on lots of doors. So wish us luck! But it's been fun getting to know her better. She is from Utah also. Salem area. She is the 4th of 6 kids. She has had a crazy mission so far. Her stories make me want to cry (I may have. haha.). But she is so wonderful. She has a strong testimony of the gospel and is working so hard at becoming the missionary heavenly father wants of her. =) She is VERY obedient. haha. She was like can we call Angel in the car. (we were at our apartment complex and like 8:30 at night and were going to call angel to get his information because he moved. And I was like okay. ..  and she was like I feel weird going back before nine even though we are just calling someone. So very obedient! She will teach me well. I will learn to be a rule follower for sure! =)
This week I also had a Bucket List moment checked off!!! haha. =)
I bought ice cream from an ice cream truck. . . well clarify. Valerio bought us ice cream from the ice cream truck but it was delicious. We were giving him a message outside his trailor and then we heard the ice cream man and we started talking about  him. And he was like come on and he was saying we are buying ice cream. He is the greatest. Makes me laugh but he was determined. =)
The McCoys also took us to Pelican snow cone place. Oh man. . . family we are visiting it when we visit my mission (whoever wants to come is invited). But it was so grand. Has a delicious flavors. Over 100 different. I was in heaven, good ice too. =)
We also visited Ana Rivera this week. And she was SO HAPPY! She was enjoying us a little too much. She was telling Hermana Newman all about her life, and her conversion story. She was cute.
Another weird thing that happened this week was I had FOUR people tell me how much better my Spanish was. WHAT?!? haha. They were like Wow, when you first got here I couldn't understand you at all and now you can speak pretty well. I was thinking in my mind. . Yeah I still know nothing but thanks.haha. =) They are funny.
On Saturday we also had the chance to help the Muellers with packing. They are moving to texas soon. So we went and did some service over there. They are hilarious. Brother Mueller kind of reminds me of Nate and I think he is hilarious. He is always making funny comments. It was a good day. =)
Oh I almost forgot, we talked to a drunk guy. haha. Oh man so we leave this house (LA) and there is a guy outside and he starts talking to us while holding and drinking his beer. He had to have been drunk way before. So we are talking and then he is super embarrassed that he is drinking. But it was fine then Hermana Newman and I at the same time get this feeling to leave right then so we did. But it was such an intense feeling of the spirit. Heavenly Father truly protects his missionaries. =)
Well. . . not much else has happened. Just the adjusting to having a new companion which is going fine. A little harder in lessons because you don't know when they are going to jump in and things. . so we are adjusting. =) Hermana Camps (the one straight from the CCM) is so nice. She is fun. It is interesting to see the difference between those who come straight form the CCM and those in the field already. Hermana Camps is still a little closed off but that'll change quickly. I think it's weird that I was like that once. But now I am super open! =) haha.
I still have the feeling I am going to be Elder Calhoon to someone and when that day comes I will laugh real hard. =)
Well, Love you all! Hope you have an excellent week and enjoy the relief society (I guess not that anymore but you get what I mean) broadcast! I am so excited for conference! I hope you all are preparing now for it! =)
Love you!

Hermana Gray



This is totally breaking the rules. haha.  my bad. But he was literally almost thrown into Hermana Nord's arms.  So we broke the rules together.  But he is adorable.  This is Miriam's baby. =)

Zone Picture

People here are obsessed with car stickers which is hilarious to me but this one made me laugh even though its inappropriate.  haha :)

These signs always make me laugh
