So soon after moving to Salem, my friend's mom decided to plan a trip to Jamaica. It was announced in Relief Society that whoever wanted to go should call her and the more people we had, the cheaper the flight and hotel because we could get a group rate. I immediately called her up and my mom decided she wanted to go also. I had a great time, these are some of the pictures. Among all the wonderful things we did, going to church with these people was at the top of my list. They were humble and kind, just the type of LDS people we all should be. This little bit of travel gave me a small taste of the world and now I would like to travel to every country.

Influential people
The sister missionaries and I were the same age when they served in our area. I was amazed to see how service oriented they were and how happy they were. I loved them and was constantly invited to go on splits with them. Once while out with Sister Aholelei, we had a wonderful visit on why she decided to serve a mission. She was influential in helping me decide to serve a mission also. I felt so much love from these sisters, we loved having them over and invited them often for dinner. Tyler loved Sister Breedlove, she was so kind to him and she played basketball with him. She also has the most amazing singing voice I've ever heard. I met up with Sister Aholelei after her mission and enjoyed being with her. Sister Breedlove is still in contact with my mom, she is married and has a couple of children. Great Memories!

My Mission
I've been thinking about my mission a lot lately. I served in the Boston Massachusetts mission. I was called to speak spanish. I loved my mission, there were incredibly difficult times but also wonderful times as well. Some companions were so difficult to get along with and others were pure joy to be around. I learned so much about myself and learned how much Heavenly Father truly loves each and every one of us. I met people who were excellent members of the church and others who weren't. People who had done terrible things and others who were incredibly service oriented. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love each and every one of us. How blessed I felt to know this and it increased my desire to show people how much their Father above loved them. At the end of my mission my Mom and Dad and little brother, Tyler came to tour my mission and bring me home. We had such a great time exploring the area and being together. These are some of my most treasured memories. The pictures below are some of the things we did together. I'll post more pictures of my mission another time, mostly I'm trying to scrapbook all the pictures and if you come to my house and are interested, I'll show you more.
