End of January party

Spent some time watching Lsu mens lacrosse team win against ole miss. It was so fun to watch lacrosse in person again! I sang in a choir for elder cook on Sunday and it went awesome! And had an amazing superbowl party with friends from my ward. So I would say it was a very successful week. Plus Mardi Gras is coming soon and carnival (what they call their celebrating before the actual daybor Mardi Gras) has been going on so it has been super fun and interesting to see all of it. Plus King cake is amazing.
I also went to Amanda's churches party and met some new people!

Also spent sister Dixon's birthday with her. Taylor and I took them out to celebrate! 

A beautiful past couple of days

The past four days have been amazing weather! 65-73 degrees. Unfortunately it ends tonight and will be colder but it has been lovely. I love being able to go running at night in January.

January 20th 2015

I officially started my mission papers today. Exciting news!
I spoke in sacrament on Sunday, on faith and testimony. It went good thankfully. I am still staying pretty busy and I am thankful for it I guess.
This is a picture of Sister Dixon and I from Sunday. She is a missionary here and has been here since I have. I love her dearly we have become such great friends and she is from Draper Utah! I love teaching lessons with the missionaries and I can't wait to receive my own mission call.

Exciting(ish) moments

This week was full of some exciting moments and some sad moments. Like my passport came in the mail, got my nails done,  and finished writing my talk for sacrament next week! But unfortunately the cowboys lost.

I have stayed pretty busy since I got back here and looks like I will be busy until we get back from the cruise.  Which is mostly good. So until March I am crazy booked with things on a to do list. But its all super exciting. Love and miss all of y'all! I greatly appreciate your support that has been given and is continued to be gave.

New Year's Eve

Had a party that started at our bishops house then we all drove downtown to see the fireworks/concert. The fireworks were over the Mississippi River so that was pretty cool!

Christmas Vacation

I loved being able to see all of my family!  Y'all are fantastic. Thanks for making it a great week.

Tis the season

I love the gospel and I love my savior. This time of year is perfect for sharing it with others! Today as I was with the sister missionaries they were teaching and we came across this scripture. (Its in the picture)

We can do this with any scripture really but put your name in for Jacob's name. It makes it so much more personal and we should all be trying to live the commandments and helping others around us to live and want to live the commandments. And to have the gospel in our lives. We all need to take it upon ourselves to share it with others. I just love this scripture and the gospel we are all so lucky to be apart of. Love you all soo much!! And can't wait to see you soon!!
