I leave on May 5th... a whole week earlier then I was supposed to AND on my Moms birthday haha she was like are you kidding me??!! haha and it's on wednesday (race day) sooo my Dad might have a hard time choosing to race or to send me off... jk knowing him he'll find a way to do both 

Anyways I'm kind of freaking out but I'm so excited and just ahh know I'm like oh my gosh I need to study 100x harder and oh my gosh I dont even have suitcases to pack in and its right around the corner! I wasn't supposed to leave until the 11th.. and then my classes weren't supposed to end until the 7th so everything is just happening so fast it's so exciting! I seriously can't wait!!!

 

 

Tomorrow is my farewell talk and so my fam is in town! it was just my sisters kelsi, Jamie, Jenna, Lindsay and I and then my other sister Kayla told us she wasn't able to make it with her five kids and just crazy stuff going on at home and we were so bummed! But yesterday, we were eating at Red Robin for my dad's birthday and Kayla ran in and was like "I'm so sorry I'm late" and totally surprised us!! Such a good surprise!! So now all of us sisters are all together one last time for a while! So awesome anyways she just brought one of her kids but its been crazy here but I love every crazy second! I'm just glad I got to sneak away for a quick couple minutes to write this haha 

 

 

Today is actually my sisters Kelsi's birthday!! This morning for breakfast we all went over to her house for french toast and to help our food digest we started to leg wrestle each other and then we were all trying to do these different like partner yoga poses and wow that was interesting haha we were stronger than we thought and could actually do some! haha anyways so awesome and then so we surprised kelsi with an 80's themed prom night tonight "gone wrong" tonight haha its a murder mystery and we all have characters and just ahh im so excited haha we've been shopping all day for good 80's outfits and have dug out some old costumes and everything so yeah were going full out for this thing, as we do 

 

 

Anyway so that's some fun stuff but let me talk about my gwong dung waaaa... I have gotten a lot better! and it's crazy to look at some of the study booklets I got before I started and so being like what the heck is this I dont understand any of this, to totally knowing (most of) it!!! I also got to meet another district of missionaries that just entered the MTC and it felt so good! I'll totally see them in Hong Kong hopefully soon! My teachers have me join their class to answer their questions and sometimes just help or mostly to get to know them and actually have other missionary friends hahaha 

 

 

Sorry this was so short but I can't wait to get to Hong Kong and share this perfect gospel with as many as I can! Remember that our Heavenly Father loves you so much and will never leave you hangin
