I'm I really going to Viña del Mar??

I'm already in love with Chile.

my mission call came today.

best surprise visit from my mom.

friends and family via skype and in person

and the best call EVER.

CHILE, VIÑA DEL MAR!!

leaving March 7th. 

SO SO excited. 

Bring it on Chile.... get ready for me!! 

In Relief Society today our lesson was on Eternal Marriage.
These lessons usually go one of two ways, good or bad.
Todays was great!

However, my bishops wife was making a comment, something like:
"You need to learn to be happy and live your life even if you aren't getting married.
It'll come and you need to appreciate yourself first."
(which by the way, I LOVE when church leaders say things like this)

Some girl from the back corner yells out, no joke, YELLS.
"We can't wait forever, our eggs don't last!!"
There wasn't much laughter, or conversation, I think we were all shocked.
Then she goes "It's true." (in a non joking tone)

WOW. seriously. some comments need to be left unsaid.
1. so inappropriate to be said in church
2. in response to the Bishops wife
3. definitely does not need to be yelled.

I guess some people just aren't happy yet.

Since this week is Thanksgiving my favorite holiday
