Called to Serve

WASHINGTON TACOMA MISSION
LEAVE JULY 13TH
FAREWELL JULY 10TH


SURPRISE! I'm going on a mission :D
Kinda crazy ey?! Trust me I didn't think I would ever go either, lol! But when It came down to it I knew without a shadow of doubt that the Lord wanted me to serve. What greater call could you have in life than to go spread the gospel to those who are searching for the truth and to be a representative of our Savior Jesus Christ. I am so humbled and blessed to be able to go serve in the beautiful state of Washington. Did I think I would go there....NO WAY! It wasn't even a thought in my mind. Am I EXCITED? YOU KNOW IT!!! I went into this telling myself I will go wherever the Lord sends me, NO, if's, but's or why's. To me the most amazing thing is how comforting it has been to know the thought and the guidance of the spirit that has went into the decision of where I was needed the most. If that's no the coolest thing, I don't know what is! :DWashington here I come!






Oh get this....
While I was in Pittsburgh my call came...what? I know!
I had to wait 5 LONG days to open my call.
We had such a good time in Pittsburgh though. It's a little different
from any other city Iv'e been to, but it lead up to some great adventures.
Later post to come...

Okay what friend would I be if I didn't say THANKS....
Miss Kaylen Walton as you see, is always there for me. Yup...ALWAYS! Even when I am my cRaZy, impatient, high maintenance self she just still loves me. Why? I dunno no!
She is an angel in my life and I wouldn't be who I am today without her. I am SO very lucky to have such an AMAZING friend as her. She is rock and light in my life and love her SOSOSOSO much! Love you Klin

Love me-

The Motab+ George Strait

CONFERENCE, THE PROPHET, GEORGE,& REBA...WHAT?!
ONE WORD....AMAZING
Let's just say, all of the driving and loss of sleep
this weekend was all worth it!

This is Kaylen with our Conference sign. Note- the Spanish on the bottom haha! We thought we were pretty dang funny ;)

******
Conference was amazing as ALWAYS.
A few "LAKYN MOMENTS" I LOVED-
1.PREACH THE GOSPEL @ ALL TIMES AND IF NECESSARY USE WORDS.
2. OUR FAITH NOW BECOMES OUR FAITH IN OUR POSTERITY LATER.
3. WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE CHRUCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS
4. DESIRES DICTATE OUR PRIORITIES
PRIORITIES DETERMINE OUR CHOICES
CHOICES DETERMINE OUR ACTIONS
5. ALL OF US CAN REACH OUR EXPECTATIONS!
******


GEORGE & REBA
Remember this post, well the day came and they both ROCKED it.
Reba surprised us w/ the appearance of all to funny BARBRA JEAN off of her TV show REBA.
Kaylen absolutely loves her, so she was ecstatic!!!
Let's not forget my HIGHLIGHT of the night.George sang one of my FAVORITE songs (I cross my HEART)that he usually doesn't sing and of course I fell in love with him all over again :D
******
I had some spiritual uplifting, then ended the night right by some good ol' fashion country music :D I say, that's a good day!
