I am known as Hermana Lappalainen now! I will be reporting to the MTC on August 13th of 2008. I love you all and will miss you like crazy! Thanks for all you do! I leave my testimony with you of this gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God and restored this gospel here on the Earth today. I love this gospel. I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He atoned for our sins and is my brother. I know that he lives and has been an example to me.

I had the oppurtunity to go through the MEsa, Az temple on July 19,2008. It was one of the most memorable days i will ever have! The feelings I felt in the temple were happiness and peace. I was so grateful to the people who were able to be there. :) I encourage all of you to attend as much as possible and remember the things which the Lord has set out for you! :)











WE got to go to CIRCLE THE WAGON and one of the ladies from our ward had old PIONEER outfits so we decided to go ahead and dress up for it! :) haha..Interesting attire! haha but it was fun!

Had to say bye to Utah but time to say hello to CHILE!

This wonderful girl, Brittany let me live with her and her family for a while till I got on my feet! It was so fun to live with her and get to know her better. She has truely become a lifetime friend! i love her alot and have a lot of respect for her and her WHOLE family! They are Amazing!
The Butlers have become dear to my heart! I was offered a job, and am so grateful for the oppurtunity to work for them. Although, I did run over a few cords, and blew up a van despite those I learned many new things from my boss! He taught me some things for an outlook on life. Thanks Trent and Anna I'll miss you both!
THE 32ND WARD! (my singles ward) I can't say in words how much they mean to me. It was super hard to say bye to them! I made many great friends through this ward and even the bishopric! They truely have a place in my heart that I totally do not want to go away! I love them with all my heart and am grateful for their example!
"Alright, well since I will be serving a mission I would like to say that I will become a "FISHER OF MEN" I love this picture. It reminds me of the last pic before my dad passed away and the poem my aunt wrote about him and being a fisher of men! Through his example of bringing souls unto Christ. I know I can do the same and hope the people of Chile will know and feel the Saviors love. He is the ONLY way the truth and the light. I know he lives! He is my brother and my redeemer. I know that I am to serve this mission with my heart might mind and strength and I will deff. do that! I'm so grateful for the oppurtunity to serve the Lord and his people! I love this gospel. I can't wait to get to Chile! :)

Actually had a REAL DATE! and it was AMAZING!!

This picture of the mountains in Utah was so amazing! Mckinley and I took the scenic route to Park City. Where our FUN FILLED date was! This pic could totally go on a post card!

This is Park City where the 2002 Olympics were held. I kinda felt cool being there.

This is my date Mckinley. Pretty dang awesome! HE PAID FOR EVERYTHING!! With my luck I have always possibly had to pay for something and totally didn't have to worry about it! It was so freaking nice! He actually told me to just be a "GIRL" for once and let him be the man! haha made me laugh so hard but its true. I'm so independent!

We rode the Skii lift up to do some rides that they have for entertainment. So we took some silly pics because it was such a long ride up there..well it seemed that way! It was so fun there! loved every minute of it! YAY!!

Okay i'll be honest kinda got scared as we kept going farther and farther and higher and higher up the mountains! but I knew I was safe but its a gorgeous view! Well anyways! hope you all are doing well! HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THOSE FATHERS OUT THERE!

CONFERENCE.....

Well...my friend Ashley called me up about a month ago and said hey I have tickets to two sessions of conference..and I said well are you implying that you would like for me to join and she said "YES!" so what do you know we go. How amazing it was to where we sat for the FIRST Session of Conference that President Monson Conducted as the Prophet of our church. He is pretty much an amazing man that I have grown to love deeply. My Father's family is pretty dang close with his family. So I got connections(okay not so much) but my grandma did watch his kids in Canada. Thought that was way cool!



It was so windy and cold after conference that but Ashley and I still wanted tons of pictures. Its been since Christmas since we have last seen eachother. We have known eachother for about 10 years. I love her to pieces. We reconnected when I had moved back home last year and became practically inseperable it was like we never left eachother. She is an amazing friend who I can always count on whenever. She's so AWESOME!! LOVE HER!! :)


Ashley and the other girls that had come up decided they wanted to leave sunday morning BUT Ashley and I had tickets for Sunday morning session and I was so bummed that she could not go with me...so I asked my one of my old roomies (Rachel) from BYU-IDAHO to go with me. AND HOLY SMOKES..if you can't tell we were soooooooooo dang close to the pulpit! I mean I could smell their aroma...okay not really but It was so amazing to be that close to those men that hold the keys. They have been great examples to me in my life.


Well...I would like to say this has been one of the conferences yet. I was so thrilled to have the privelage to go to two sessions. I have never been so excited for conference and man all the talks were amazing to me. The spirit that I felt was so strong and just helped remind me of who I am and who I want to become. I know that Jesus is the Christ that he lives in each of us. I know families can be together forever. I know that there is a plan for all of us but its up to us to make that happen. I love this gospel and can't wait to send in my papers, receive my call, and set my foot into the MTC...that will be the day my life will change for the better and forever. I LOVE YOU ALL!! MISS EVERYBODY LIKE CRAZY! Thanks for all you do for my me! MUAH!!
