Well today at church Sister Golding gave us journals to write in about blessings from God. I think that this is a really good idea! We should always be greatful as she said we do take what we have for granted- at least I know I do. We are so lucky to live in the times we do and sometimes we don't even thank God for all the wonderful things we have or we say that it was all us that we got it and earned it when God was one one that helped us. Thanks Sister golding for putting this in perspective for me! Great lesson.

BACK!!
Wow I had an amazing experiece. But I'm home and it's sad. My vacation was so spiritual and lovely. We saw alot of the church sites like the Hill Comorah, the Whitmer Farm, the Whitney Farm, Newel K. Whitney house, Newel K. Whitney Store, the Kirtland Temple, The Smith Farm, the Smith Frame House, the Sacred Grove, and the Morely Farm. It was so great and beautful. We made it right when the trees were changing colors. Some non-church things we say were the Women's Rights museum and Niagra Falls.
It was so amazing in the Newel K. Whitney store to see the School of the Prophets. The first for prohets were there for the "school." And Jesus made an apperence in that room. And it was NOT a replica so we were in the ACTUAL room where Jesus Appered. I mean the Sacred Grove was where Jesus and God appeared but you don't know where. Like you are there but you can't stand in the exact place. We all beared our testimony there.
I also loves the Smith Farm. The Smith Family went through some heard times in that farm house and the frame house. It was so cool because the frame house was not a replica either and Hyrum and Alvin Smith made it. It really makes you think about how hard they had it. The frame house was huge but all the farms were really really small and in some cases they had to fit 9, 10, 11, 12, or more children in the house.
It was interesting to learn that whereever Joseph Smith was was where the headquaters of the church was. So when he lived in the Newel K. Whitney store that was the church headquaters, when he stayed in the whitney home that was the church headquaters and so on. I never knew that. I thought they had one designated place like we do now but they don't.
The Sacred Grove was also great. You don't know exactly where god was but you can feel his presence. The whole place is just so holy and you feel the spirit. This is by the Smith Family farm so we were able to do this all at once. It was a really great experinece going and I went twice I love it so much!!
Also in the Newel K. Whitney store there was a room upstairs where alot of D&C was written. They had the original table so it was cool to see that where many of the famous church leaders sat down and wrote the D&C there! It was really amazing.
On this trip I had the honer to meet Sarah Baker. She is now a good friend of mine. She has Soresa Polsey or however you spell it but that doesn't make me lover her any less. It preobably makes you lover her more because she is so sweet and kind and will do anything for you. She has such a spirit and i know that she had a strong testimony of the church. Our family now has a new language- Sarah Launguage. In this "language" we do gesteres and say things that Sarah would say. It's really great. I am so glad that I got to meet her.
I would also like to talk about Niagra Falls. This was also a spirital experiece even though it isn't a church site. It's just os beautiful. We went on a boat ride and that was spectacular. It was amzing so see it all. There is 3 falls in niagra falls- American Falls, Canadian Falls, and Horseshoe Falls because it is in the shape of a horse shoe. I likes the last one the best.
I would like to end this with bearing my testimony. I know that this church is true that that Joseph Smith restored the gosepel. Going on this trip prover it even more. I have a strong testimony that the Book of Mormon IS the word of god and that he is going to come again. I love my lord and would do anything for him. I know that if you live right and live by the rules of the church you will go to heaven and see our heavenly father again. I know that Jesus really come to this earth and that he WILL come again. I love the church. On the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

Today I am going to go to Niagra Falls. I am so excited. It is suppose to be so beautiful. We are going to do a couple of things there then go back to Palmyra and then come home to Arizona. Time is going so so fast!! It seems like it's been 1 day instead of a week.
I am going to miss the stake dance so Sister Golding you are going to have to tell me all about it. This is going to be the first dance that I miss. Although I'm not sad because I would deffinitly rather be at Niagra Falls then at a dance.
So I will see you guys in a couple of days when I get home to Casa Grande. It is so pretty up here I don't want to leave but I know I have too!! :(

SAD SAD STORY
OMG! I have the saddest story for you. Ok so I was going through the line with my carry ons and they scan ur bads and everything and it like beeps. And it wasn't like an ordinary thing you know when they just take it out where it was like a pocket knife or sometings and they just have to make sure and u can take it know. They go, "POLICE!! BAD CHECK!! WE GOT AN UNIDENTIFIED ITEM!!" And I was like what?!?!?! They said, "Ma'am you are going to have to follow me where I can question you." So by then I was like what!?!?! WEll I go ober there and they say, "Well ma'am do you have anything in your bag that you would like to tell us about?" and I was like no...... So they go "Well wefounf soemthing in your bad that could be very dangerious and hazaredous and we don't Know if this means if u are doing something illegal or not." So I was like thinking someone must have planted something in my bad or something. Well they go " It's...... (they pull it out) it was my LOTION!!! I was likke it's lotion. And they said, "Are you sure that there is no liquid expolisive or anything of the sort?" and I said no. They are like "well we believe there is and we are going to be nice enough to let you continue on ur journey but we are going to confinscate this and if you every try to bring illegal items on this airline again you WILL be arrested.!"
I guess that people hide things in there. My parent were like we'll buy u a knew one but I was like me and crinimal?!? Anyway it was pretty sad.

Summer
Well since we finally got the pics on the computer from my mom's camera I might as will post some pics of what I did over the summer most of the time.
Sea World!!!
Me and Kennedy on a Kayak at Camp
This is where I was at most of the Summer- CAMP!
At camp me and Kennedy did Multsport which covers Kayak, Tubing, Sailing, Catermaraning, and a Beach Day. This was my forth year. I always have so much fun. I went for 2 weeks and Kennedy went for one because my dad brought her out when he came- someone had to make the money!!! :) Well I think that she enjoyed it and I hope that she posts a comment on her experience. If course again there is at least 100 more pictures but I can't post all of them!
We also went to Sea World. My grandma owns a house up there so we go up there every summer. Even when we sell my grandma's house we are going to put money aside to rent a beach house every year. Well we always buy the year round pass so over the summer we always go 8-9 times. It never gets old. I love all the creatures there and thier Sea Lion show is hilarious. (picture above) We do almost everything- even my mom does the rides! It's a great pass time and family activity. I have that I can do the same thing when I get older with my children. Casa Grande my mom physical but California is always my home at heart. This is also where I have the camp.
Also this Summer it was my first year at girls camp. It was a very spiritual experience and I already can't wait to do next year. We are going to have sooooo much fun!! I loved the night that we did the plays and when we did Singing Trees. I also likes some of the crafts we did and I didn't enjoy the hile but I think that it made me a better person. It took a lot of strength from me to continue when I twisted my ankle but I finished. I was very proud of myself.
Concert
Well yesterday was the Phooson concert. Alot of people were there. The thing that stank was that there was no swating and only outhouses.... EW! We had to stand for like 7 hours without sitting. But there was many pluses. My friends got to come, the jonas brother were there, jordin sparks was there, I got a t shirt (not the cutest but it was ok), and I had fun! The jonas brothers rocked! Joe is so cute! Here's pics.
There was tons more pics but I can't post them all..... :). At the end od the concert my brother got lost for like a half an hour but luckily we found him. We got home at aroud 12 so as you might guess we were worn out. A good time was had by all! I am glad that we got the opertunity to go. OH! I forgot to mention that a drunk guy fell on me and spit beer all over me and laughed! That was so aweful. I've never touched beer before and I never wanted too!! :(. Well it can't all be perfect if it's outsite with no seating and there is a place where they sell beer there can there?

Well today was ok. I didn't do anything extra special today. Tony came over after school to help me with notes which turns out i didn't need but she did! Well it was hilarious because i was listening to a comedy show and this is what they said.
"So I was in a grocery store one time and this person was next to me getting a get well card. I said oh who is that for? He said my grandma. I said well what's wrong with her? And he said she's dead!" this guy then kept going on to say "Now what? Your giving your grandma a get well card when she's dead? Why? So she can come back alive?" IT WAS SO HILARIOUS!!

Conference Day
Well today was conference. I didn't get to see the first session because I went to church with my grandma who is part of the methodist church. It was wierd seeing a different religion but still cool. The second part of conference I got to see. It was very interesting. I hope that President Hinkly lives for the next conference. He is such an inspiration. Well this afternoon all I have done is go on the computer and be bored. Tonight ny grandparents are coming over for a raost so that is going to be cool. TTYL!

Well Marisa came over. We had such a great time! We went on the computer alot, walked t0 7 11, and ate dinner. But mostly we talked. We needed that. The NJHS thing only brought 8 people which is sad but not completely hopeless because we have already raised 1,000 dollars for cancer society and then we are going to walk in a cancer walk. So ya today was a good day. Here's a pic of me and marisa on our fun day.
It's been a while since I've written. Well not much has happened. For mutual we went ice blocking and it was so much fun!! I was wet by the time we left. School's been ok. Same old same old. It was fun when in Language we watched Phantom of the Opera. I've only seen this movie once and I didn't really catch on. My cousin loves that movie. I guess my mom has seen it on broadway but never in real life so I am going to have to have her watch it. For NJHS we put on a movie and I guess that was ok. I'm going to another one today and then after that Marisa is coming over. I don't know what we are going to do but whatever it's going to be FUN! Tomorrow I am going to go to my Grandma's church because for so long she has wanted me to go with her. Well I'll write more later today.
