mission reunion

this past weekend was my mission reunion. 

my first mission companion becca came up to go and spend the weekend with me. 

the reunion was a lot of fun and it was so great to see so many of the people i was able to serve with. i have so much respect and love for these people. it was the first time i was able to see president and sisters tucker again, and i just love them so much. 

i made my little sister come with me.

easter

we often forget why we celebrate easter with all the hoopla of egg hunts, chocolate bunnies, and baskets, but the resurrection of our savior is incredible. i will admit i usually am a sucker for all of that fun stuff and don't get  me wrong, i still love it, but being on a mission really helped me realize the importance.

how incredible is it that we get to repent every single day. how incredible is it that we have that knowledge. my heart is full because of it. i love it so much. i love the gospel so much.

this easter was especially fun because i was able to spend it with my nephews. i don't actually remember the last time it was spend with my family so this weekend was especially nice. terry and deb drove us up on saturday after i got off work. we ate some delicious wonderful house, and i got to spend some time with j. it was so much fun. cade is adorable and kept asking me to hide eggs for him. he also danced and danced and danced for us. it was just so cute. i love those little nephews of mine.

 luke also stopped by with laina to see us. i miss them so much and love that luke took the time out of his day to come see me.
