New Orleans trip

I went down to New Orleans yesterday with some people from the ward. We went to the French Market and a couple different cafes. We went to the cathedral and saw some street performers. We walked all around this part of town. Oh and since it is below sealevel here the cemetery are all above ground. Kinda creepy.. and the pyramid one is Nicholas Cage future tombstone he bought (some crazy fans kissed it) lol but it was super fun and the food was great! To say New Orleans they say nawlins.. or nola. Which stands for New Orleans Louisiana. 

The saints super dome.

more views of the city.

Loved these old buildings all over amd the streets here are really narrow. The buildings with balconies are my favorite!

Cafe du monde where we got beingets (no idea how to spell that.) They are a pastry that is both scone and donut like.

My love for the gospel

I have started reading Preach my Gospel along with my studying of the Book of Mormon. I am so excited at the thought of serving a mission. I can't wait to put my papers in next summer. I absolutely love this gospel and the comfort it can bring to anyone. I love the fact that we have a loving prophet who can give us guidance and direction, I love the fact that I can pray whenever and about whatever and that I will always get an answer. Its not always how I think it will go but I always get an answer. I am grateful for the people I have met here in Louisiana. The gospel is true wherever you go. This ward makes it so much easier to adjust to everything here. I received a calling,  I am now the relief society activities committee member. I plan activities :) and I am a visiting teacher. Feels kinda scary to officially be in relief society and have callings!! But I love the opportunity to serve!

LSU game

On Saturday a group of us from my ward met up and went to the Lsu game, it was so fun! Lsu won 63-7
In the group picture it goes Brett, Eric, me, Madison, Zach, and John.

Officially been here 5 weeks.

I am really enjoying this adventure. I love the ward here, making some really good friends. I went out to dinner and a movie with one of the girls last night. It was great:) I get alomg great with the family. I am learning a ton of stuff too, mostly life lessons;) but its all good. As we are (should be) preparing for general conference I challenge any one who reads this to have questions in your mind that you need/want an answer too. I did this last time and all of my questions were answered. Not all at once but they were answered and it has blessed me greatly. I love and miss you all. Christmas will be a party. And hopefully I jave some good stories to share with y'all by then!! <3
