Weight loss is awesome!

So, since just after Christmas my dad and I have been working out with a personal trainer, Igor. And this week I have officially lost 20 pounds!! AHH!! It's so stinking exciting!! I've been trying to get to this mark for a few weeks now, so now that I'm here, it's uber awesome!

Well, now that I've lost 20 pounds I get to go buy new pants. Because all of my pants are falling off of me, and for the first time in my life I have to wear a belt with my pants. But ya, it's a super exciting thing for me. And I can't wait until I get down to my goal weight!

Mission Prep

So for the past few weeks, every Sunday I went to mission preparation class . It was so much fun! I felt the spirit a lot, and I learned a lot. Well yesterday was the last day. I'm bummed, but it's helped me see that I do want to serve a mission.


It's so fun to start preparing! I'm reading my scriptures more, and Preach My Gospel, which is such a great book/manual! I'm trying to get myself into the time table of the missionary, to bed by 1030 pm and up by 630 am. That's hard! And so far, I am failing at that pursuit, but I'm not going to give up!
Before this experience I wasn't sure if I had a very strong testimony of the Gospel. I can now say that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church, and I know that I have a strong testimony of this truth.


Overall, this experience has been so good for me, and I'm glad to be doing it.
