Into the wild, blue yonder

Welp, here I go. I fly back to Utah in about 9 hours. My bags are all packed and I'm about to shut off my computer. The next post on this blog will be my first email home from the MTC!

Dear family and friends: I LOVE YOU. Write to me, okay?

Here goes nothing :)


Sii sincero - e vai con Dio

This is for real

I got an email on my missionary account today telling me about my mailing address while in the MTC.

WRITE TO ME!!!

Finest of the flavors

People!

ONE WEEK.

Bring it on.

In West Philadelphia, born and raised

So I went to Philly on Friday. I even ate a legit Philly cheesesteak from a lunch cart downtown! Besides that, however...

...it was a disaster. I don't even want to talk about it. Shoot, I don't even want to think about it.

And you wanna know the worst part?

I'm an Atlanta Braves fan. Curse your 6.5 game lead, Phillies!

How you doin'?

(In reality, the Phillies really are a great team. Heck, my little league softball team was the Phillies! I'd probably even root for them. If only they weren't in the National League...)

Sorella Moda

Well folks, the time has arrived...

...I'm done shopping for mission clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HUZZAH!!!!!!!

In celebration, I decided to go ahead with my photo shoot so that I can display the fruits of all my hard work. Also, I hope that maybe this post can be an inspiration to aspiring sister missionaries - you can do it! (And I'll show you how!) I'm aware that the pictues aren't stellar, but you can click on them to make them bigger :)

For each item, I'll give the brand, and if necessary, where the item was purchased. I won't tell you how much I paid for each item because that would be weird, but each item (except the shoes) averages out to around $20.
