A Small Green Building

This is a picture of the Church in Tobago. For those of you who don't know, Tobago is Trinidad's sister island located not to far from the Venezuela coast. This green building used to be a grocery store: The Green Grocery, they called it. I love this building. I have many fond memories that surround it: looking out the window and seeing investigators walk through the parking lot (or car park as the Tobagonians say) towards the building, hearing Lasana give his first talk, running up the hill to make it in time for the sacrament--investigator in tow, teaching reading classes, and many many more. The building is small many with not many rooms, but it is full of love and faith. I don't think the members of the Tobago branch realized how much the touched my heart and helped my desire to be a disciple of Christ grow. I love them terribly and miss them everyday.

on: playing football with small children

1. they will ask for re-dos, do-overs, and rewinds when something happens that they don't like

2. all will demand that you throw the ball to them

3. pushing, shoving, and crying will occur

4. they will tell you that you suck, even though you can actually catch and throw the ball

5. you will have fun more fun than you had in a while

dear Sister Campbell, you are assigned to labor in....

the WEST INDIES mission

here's a map

which thankfully was included because i had no idea where the West Indies were

I am sooo excited to serve the people of the West Indies. I'll be sharing the gospel in my native tongue of English (although I hear their accents are pretty sweet and it takes a while to catch on). Whoa for warm climates and tropical rain storms!

and winner for most awkward photo of the night. haha.

but look how happy we all are.

a little catch up

so there have been many small things that i have wanted to blog about but i never did get around to it (school has been pretty all consuming okay) so this is me catching up.

i love brown eggs. when i am older and have my own family and house i want to have a few chickens in a coop and collect their eggs. they are so much more awesome than white eggs.


my roommate is a strange one. this is how she calls cats, such as the one that showed up at our intramural soccer team. oh our intramural soccer team, that's another post all to itself.


sometimes people say i'm quirky. probably becasue i do things like this.

i dont like eating cold applesauce so i warm it up by putting a sauce bowl in a bigger bowl of hot water to get the applesauce to room temperature.

i went on a hike with my bestie eliza, now hermana probst, up provo canyon before she entered the mtc. it was absolute beautiful.


we got some practice harvesting the field.



and found the tree of life.
i'd say it was a successful day.

i made stuffed zucchini for dindin. me and kj enjoyed it immensely although it was no where near as good as nonna's.


alexis gave kj surgery on her finger which she slammed in a car door. we watched a video on youtube about how to preform such a surgery. psh who needs a phd when there's youtube ta teach ya all ya need ter know.


and then we dressed up for that pagan holiday.
kj is mc hammers illegitimate white/asian child
alexis is in a onesie
and i am ethnic.

today has been a good day

When i was at the high school today i witnessed girl a trying to help girl b cover up a hickey. first with foundation. that didnt work. then girl c suggested that they use chapstick first and then put on the powder cover-up. oh those teenagers and their undeveloped frontal lopes.

i am wearing a cute outfit.

i went to the dentist today. why is this a good thing you ask? well i LOVE going to dentist. i have the best dentist ever. there are televisions on the ceiling and i have never been in pain while they were working on my mouth (and i've had my fair share of cavities and one root canal). also my teeth are now shiny and clean.

i saw someone that makes me smile today

and i am going to the temple tonight!

whoa!!!!!! today is great.
