count your blessings and enjoy the little moments that make u happy

Change of plans

At the beginning of last week I got told that I sucked at doing man jobs so I almost lost my job. We decided that I could work inside the house and do cleaning stuff. I was kinda depressed at the beginning, but after a couple days I realized that it was all better for me. I do suck at being a man hahaha and working inside the house is so much more chill. I just listen to my ipod and clean all day. I actually enjoy what i do and I don't have to sit outside in the sun all day anymore. No more farmers tan YAY!!

Good stuff for a missionary

Last Monday I finally send TJ a package full of stuff I had been collecting for months. Just random little things like candy, notes and other bigger things. My favorite item was the Spanish Book of Mormon that I got him. He has always wanted to learn Spanish but he did not get send to a Spanish speaking mission, so I thought he could learn a bit reading his scriptures. I marked all my favorite scriptures with different colors, stickers and notes on the sides. I also wrote my testimony in Spanish in the front and wrote a translation of it specially for him. It took me forever to work on it, but I was very happy with it when I was done.
When I went to Spain last April, my mom and I picked a really cute tie for him. It has a shinny pink color that I love, cause its my favorite color an it just reminds me of our last dance. I included the tie and I also baked him cookies. I was worried the cookies would be hard as rock by the time he got them, but Alyssa's mom told me to freeze them first and then send them. TJ told me today that the cookies were still good when he got them so I was way happy. At least all my work wasn't for nothing. I don't cook very often haha

Small little blessings of life

This weekend I went back to salt lake for the weekend, so I could take care of some stuff. It was a really good weekend full of great things.
Friday night I went to a party at my friend Raoul's house. He

is moving back to France soon, so we decided to have a last minute party. There weren't many people there but it ended up being lots of fun. We just chilled, listen to music and tried to sing songs along with the guitar. We sucked at singing btw. I laughed my butt off! Raoul gave me his guitar so now I can teach myself! I love that guitar so much! I called it Leonor, just cause it felt like a good name for it. I can't wait until I can actually play a real song on it.
Saturday, Hanna and I went to my favorite restaurant in the gateway. Tucanos!! Its a Brazilian restaurant that serves

a bunch of good meat. I had been living like a vegetarian for about three weeks, so I was craving meat like crazy. I think I ate my weight in meat, but I felt great afterward, just really full. Now I can go vegetarian for three weeks again hahaha

After Tucanos we went to the Salt Lake Temple and did baptisms for the death. It was an awesome feeling to be in the house of the Lord and feel the Spirit in his house and in my body. Its just something so incredible! Its like the whole world outside disappears for a small moment and nothing can hurt you.
I have a testimony about the temple and I can't wait for the day I find the right guy for me and I can get sealed to him for all and eternity in a place like that.

Sunday I went to my old singles ward and it was great to see everyone again. I kinda really miss LDSBC. Good old little school where u know pretty much everyone.
After church I had to pack like crazy and I was so worried about not forgetting anything that I left the door open en all the lights on. That is just something I would do!
It was a great weekend and I want my friends to know that Im thankful for their example and their sweet spirits. Thanks for making my life better by being part of it. Love you all so much!!
