“Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house, and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”

― Lowell C. Bennion

Back to Berlin

May 2012

Finding out where I'll be spending 18 months of my life

sure has been exciting.

To say the least.

Berlin, Germany. I leave May 1st, 2013.
Which happens to be my 20th birthday.

Whoa there! Big day.

Last May, I was actually in Germany,
and made a 3 day stop in Berlin.
If someone told me then, that a year later,
I would be a sister missionary in Berlin,
I honestly would have laughed.
Ahem. Then probably would've asked them to shut up,
because obviously they would have been mocking me.

I'm so excited.

THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE.

Good news. My siblings are out of school. Which means lots more time for video games.

Video games? Really?
Yes, really. Little did you know, that I am quite the gamer.

Along with reading Pride and Prejudice (it's a work in progress), this is what my day looked like.

I play video games whilst wearing floral. Somewhat contradicting.

Love me some Halo Reach.

Just call me Master Chief.
