siswag: Tabata

Favorite meal!

WELL FOLKS IT'S A BEAUTIFUL RAINY DAY IN HOUSTON AND I AM 20!!!!! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE 20 AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD BE! I'M SUCH A CHILD AND I LOVE BUBBLE GUM!

Late September. Ohhh how I love September. When you're buried deep in a pile of leaves and your fingers are slightly burnt from roasting mallows all month long. Your hair smells of camp fires and sweat because of all the hiking.... ahhhh I love Utah Septembers but I had an incredible Houston September! Can I get a pic of Mt. Olympus??

The week started out unlike any other.... I discovered a new love.... eggos topped with peaches, bluebell and syrup! (I would prefer mothers waffles and caramel sauce but that's just not an option) It's just enough to get your mouth watering and your bum bum out of bed to exercise! President Hall and his wife have a 5k planned for Christmas Day so I asked sister hall for some exercises to get in shape.... WORST IDEA EVER! She's a like fitness crazy woman but ya know I try it... It's called Tabata and I've been cursing it's name all week. When anything goes bad... "DANG NABIT TABATA!" I literally feel like someone just came and replaced all my muscles with wagstaff cranes. I can't move. I couldn't walk for days and worst part was I didn't even do half the workout. I've got some improvement to do.

Well it was a wonderful week. I can't really remember what happened.. OHH YES OUR ENGLISH CLASS! soooo fantastic there are 40 students and they are amazing. just straight off the boarder of Mexico and Honduras. We break up into groups and there is this one lady who just ran to me the second day and was like (in spanish), "Can i be in your group?? " Made me feel really good! I hear her talking to her friend. She's like, "Come with this girl she's really positive and fun and you can basically say whatever you want and she'll say you're doing wonderful!" so i cracked down on her.. no one walks away from me without saying things perfect! haha i just understand them because learning spanish has been really hard for me! But it's been fun learning a language. My brain thinks a lot differently now! We have to plan fun games for the class... and all the games that i have been thinking of have come from 10th grade heath class.... can i get a WOOT WOOT FOR MAKIN IN THROUGH THAT CLASS! i had to watch a live birth and everything but sure has supplied me with some great ideas for games!

OH, ALSO JUST THOUGHT I'D LET YOU KNOW HOW GOOD GOD IS... church yesterday... our goal was 6 investigators to church... church starts- NO ONE CAME.... sacrament ends.... 6... I repeat exactly 6 investigators walk in!!! ALL WE NEED IS A LITTLE CHIT CHAT ABOUT BEING ON TIME... I CAN FIX THAT... I'VE HAD THAT MANY OF TIMES WITH YOU KNOW WHO...

Well fam sorry not much time! thank you so so so so so stinking much for all the b-day wishes! i could not have wished for a better family!

I really shouldn't be 20 and here are just a few examples from this week of why....

1. i do a somersault to get on my bed every night. and a handstand after every prayer... 20 year olds don't do that

2. I thought the topical guide was the tropical guide till yesterday when I had to awkwardly act like i just said it wrong

3. My idols are but are not limited too... mary kate and ashley, dennis quiad, lindsey lohan, air bud, fergie, guy from my best friends wedding, and ezra taft benson

4. My companion was just cleaning up her shoes by the door last night and slipped a pair on instead of picking them up. She said i looked at her like i was about to cry and just said, "where are you going??" in a 5 yr old voice.

5. one of my favorite hobbies is to chat with the missionaries on mormon.org and act like I'm a weird person. SOOO ENTERTAINING. please don't tell them. I had nick and kyle stumped!!

6. i swear all i ate this week was chobani yogurt and bubble gum

7. If i see another taco i might cry!

8. My favorite jam is EFY 1978 WHAT A JAM TAKE ME BACK TO THE 1980'S BABY!!!

those are just a few reasons. I could go on and on but i think you guys understand!

love you to Tibet and back!
