Even More Anticipation Than Christmas.

The sleek white envelope 

came yesterday. 

When I saw it in the 

mailbox, I immediately 

ran it upstairs and stuffed 

it under my mattress 

because I wanted to 

open it right then. 

7:00 finally came. 

Friends gathered, 

and family viewed from 

various places 

thanks to the wonders  

of technology.

I was so nervous. 

I was nervous about 

my reaction. 

I was nervous about 

where I would be 

called to serve for 

18 months. 

I had no idea what 

to expect. 

I opened it up 

and read it 

line 

by 

line. 

Dear Sister Haynes, 

You are hearby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You are called to labor in the...

Argentina Rosario Mission

 

I told myself I wasn't 

going to cry. 

But, when I started 

reading it,

How could I not?

I am called to spread the 

gospel to the people of 

ARGENTINA. 

I am stoked beyond 

belief. 

I know I am supposed

to go there. 

I feel so blessed to 

be able to serve the Lord. 

I guess this face has Argentina written 

all over it. :) 

Let's create our own Spring Break yeah?

I love BYU and all but shoot, 

what was Cecil thinking when 

he didn't add a Spring Break 

into the schedule?!

Anywho, me and Jam Jam 

decided to make our own. 

We headed down to Moab 

with some of Gaff's roommates 

and friends. 

It was seriously the best. 

But, might have not been

the best thing. 

Because seriously 

all I want to do 

is hike 

in the sun 

with my Chacos. 

Wedding Bells and Sunshine.

Ty Ty is a married man! 

I love him and I love Neelam so much. 

and I love that they chose to get married 

in AZ so I could get some sun for a 

couple of days. 

 On the drive home,

we watched the sun set

over the Hoover Dam.

Beautiful.

Lovebirds. 

                                                                                                             

The Power of the Atonement

I came across this video 

and fell in love with it.

It is so powerful 

Although it is 

relating to missionary work, 

it can be applicable to all 

aspects of our lives. 

I know the atonement 

is real. 

I know that Christ suffered 

for my sins, doubts, disappointments, 

shortcomings, fears, follies. 

He has experienced everything I have, 

but on a much higher degree. 

The Farm Life

Last night, me, Holly, and Landon 

needed some adventure 

and because we're in Rupert, 

there were few options. 

We chose to go out to the 

dairy and explore a little bit. 

I drank milk from the tanks, and 

it was DANG GOOD. 

Then, I milked a cow. 

Pretty great I must say. 

and then we went on saw

the baby calves. 

I LOVED THIS. 

They were the sweetest things ever. 

I didn't want to leave. 

All of the calves had been 

born that day, and one of them 

was born within five minutes of

us getting there. 

We were able to see it take 

its first steps, and 

it was one of the coolest things.

After the dairy, I was 

still in need of some adventure, 

so we drove over to the sheep 

and explored over there a bit. 

The baby lambs were so adorable. 

I loved them so much 

and tried to sneak one home. 

Seeing those little animals so 

soon after being born just was 

something else. 

It made me so happy, and 

made me realize there are so 

many things in the world that 

I take for granted. 

A great weekend. 

and HEY! 

The. papers. are DONE. 

Bitter-Sweet

Last night was the 

BYU vs. Gonzaga game 

and shoot it was great. 

Gonzaga is currently #2

and the Cougs put up a 

good fight but ended up 

falling short. 

Anywho, halfway through

the game, we realized

that this would be our 

last basketball game 

all together as roomies. 

It's crazy how we're all 

going our separate ways. 

It's kind of sad, but 

we are all embarking on such 

awesome things. 

Power couple yeah?

Crew for the night.
