I felt horrible last Monday, but I woke up <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1234376081" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Tuesday</span></span> and felt perfectly fine. It was wierd how fast I felt better, but it was a huge blessing because we were talking with people left and right this last week, teaching lessons, knocking on doors and doing it all. We have felt kind of frustrated because we just have not seen the progress with our investigators like we would have hoped. But we continue to work hard all the same. My Castellano continues to get better. I try to open my mouth and talk every single opportunity that I get. I can usually understand all of what people are saying now which is nice. My teaching ability has also improved a lot in the past week. I had asked Elder Lopez that we do more practices during companionship study and those have really helped me. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have really seen a lot of progress with 2 families in particular. The family Tulian and the Family Arias. I have grown so close to these families, and they really love us also. They are all going to church every week and really turning their life around. Hno. Tulian blessed his grandchild in church yesterday. It was really cool. They are all preparing to go to the temple in Buenos Aires this weekend. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have learned how to do a little bit of everything in these past few weeks. My cooking skills are improving, I am learning how to sew and wash my clothes very efficiently in a bucket Lol, I am learning how to communicate with people more clearly and to not get frustrated when people don´t understand me. I am trying to implement the atributes of christ ( Ch. 6 of PMG ) more in my life. It can be really frustrating at times though. I am learning how to live with other people who do things a lot differently than I would like. It is hard to not be on your own schedule. I had always liked to do my own thing and go where I want, and it has been a really hard adjustment but I am learning to be flexible and listen to others. Unfortunately, I still have to follow a lot of what other people say because I am still young in the mission and still don´t know a lot of what is going on, but I am learning fast and really starting to catch on.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had 9 students in my piano lessons this week. That is the most that I have had. They were all members, but it went really well!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We are going to go throw football today by the costanera. It is a super pretty day today. The weather has been really good this past week, but I have felt that it can get pretty hot here. It is spring right now. I always have a hard time calculating the temperature and other things here. Everything is different, Shoe size, Height, Weight, Mileage, Temperature. Why does the U.S. not go on the Metric System? Haha I have actually learned a lot of the culture while I have been here. It is very interesting and so different than the U.S. There are some things that I miss so much about america though. I haven´t seen a single fast food restaurant while I have been here. The food is a lot different. People here drink mate for every meal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank you to those who have sent me emails this last week. It really means a lot. I know that what I am doing down here will have a great impact in my life and will help me and my family one day. I know that we have a father in heaven who loves us and wants the best for us in this life. I know that at times we have challenges in our lives so that we can learn and grow from them. I am experiencing a lot of that here right now, but I love it! Haha Thank you for all the prayers and support. Love you all!</div>

Lucky us :) School has been so stressful and being in a Government class this semester I get asked A LOT of questions about being LDS. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT ASHAMED(efy2012- Romans 1:16;) of the gospel of Christ, but it is a lil' bit nerve wracking when even the teacher asks you hard questions! Then some of my closer friends of the past two years have not been going down the safe road in life, and I have had a hard time finding my right "group of friends" outside of my amazing church friends. If you go to Warren County High..just for a day.. you would understand. Because I was so down, I decided to pray, and I got the answer that I needed to reach out to people that looked lonely. I actually came across a scripture while reading last week, and that is my post fall break goal! I will let you know how it goes, but I am very excited! #spiritualexperiencenumberone<br />
In our ward, the Mcminnville ward, our YW president assigned a "hero book" she found on theredheadedhostess blog. For this project, you do an intense study of any hero of your choice for two solid weeks, then record your testimony at the end of the book. I was SO pumped about this assignment, and really personalized it to be my own. I really pondered on what hero I should pick. I wanted to do one that I didn't know as well, so that I could learn more. I found my answer that night while reading in Luke about how the savior promised Zacharias and Elizabeth a son to be named John. A distinct thought occurred that I needed to do Rebekah at the well, and how she was so in-tune with the spirit. I knew I had to learn and study her. She was my hero. So I started my two week study, and it was very successful. If I could tell you one thing about that amazing woman, it would be that she studied, prayed and communicated with Heavenly Father 24/7! She had a constant relationship with Christ and he with her. She was able to recieve revelation to let strangers use her vase to feed the camels and themselves. What.an.experience. <br />
<br />
So..I finished my hero book on Thursday morning, before seminary started. I babysit six sweet kiddos quite regularly, and that night Sarayah, first grader, asked if I would attend her birthday party. I went.. and talked to Sis. Kastello. She told me she had prayed so hard to help her adopt a baby. She had been for six weeks, and they recieved a call that afternoon for a baby in Delaware that was premature, weighing three pounds. She showed me a picture, the sweet girl was the SMALLEST baby I had ever seen in my life. She didn't have any hair, and was hooked up to a ventalator in the hospital. I was in shock. well.. the next day, I went to visit my grandma and left my phone in the car for two hours. When I came back, I noticed I had six missed calls, two voicemails, and about 7 texts. Sister Kastello's voicemail said,"hi, sweetie. We are about to board a plane to Delaware to adopt the girl, I know this is crazy but if there is any chance can you watch the kids this week, I love you, I have to go cause we're about to take off but call me ASAP. love you". WOW. so many emotions, I wanted to relax this fall break, finish my Work and Glory book, do my college paper due the next week, catch up on scripture study, etc. I headed straight to their house and put the kids to bed. When I called Sister Kastello the following day, she had just saw the little girl and decided to name her "REBEKAH" becuase she had thanked Heavenly Father for blessing her with this beautiful baby girl and that she couldn't have any children. We were crying on the phone together.. happy tears. I am so grateful of the powerful examples in my life. She is so intune with the spirit and I look up to her. They came home last night and the baby is seriously so special. I love her to death, and I know she has a special purpose because she was sent to the best family ever. I'm grateful for these sweet moments I have had this special fall break.<br />
<br />
And..my baby sister, and cancer survivor(wow, that feels AMAZING to say) is DONE WITH TREATMENTS AT THE HOSPITAL. how very blessed I am! We love her so much and grateful we are a forever family. xoxo<br />

How nice of her. :) I am LOVING them! Thanks, Linda! :) Zach is coming to Tennessee in July and our family CAN NOT wait!! We are planning so many fun things, and he sure is in for a treat.

So literally, my bio friends and I were counting down the seconds until summer on Friday. Remember on High School Musical when they counted down and then threw stuff in the air? Haha.. well we did the same. Got a 4.0 this year, beat my 5K time for XC and spent loads time with my adorable, sister, Kelsi! Felt like an accomplished year! :) Here are some highlights of my sophmore year:</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">-Elected as sophmore homecoming attendant and got to be in a gorgeous parade through downtown Mcminnville, and walked during half time of homecoming football game. Drew Davidson was my escort and we had a really fun time! My sweet basketball team made T-shirts(without me knowing) and suprised me by being on the field while I walked down the isle. My dress was kind of immodest, but thanks to my wonderful mother, and other attendants, we all wore a shawl. Great night!</span><br />

I had a great LONG weekend which felt very very nice. Well first off, on Monday, My family and I went to the Riches to go on the Lake with them and also have a cookout. It was sosoos much fun, other than the fact that I have BIG bruises on my arm from tubing, and the other fact that I can barely move my left side of my head ,because Brother Riches didn't realize how fast we were going on the tube and we flipped, aND mY FRIEND's elbow punched me on my left side of my neck& face. But it was soosososos much fun!!! I was going to bring my camera and post some pictures... but then I forgot it. Of coarse. Well then we got in really really really late on Monday night.. so I was exhousted the next morning. Well, then on Tuesday Bryce had a football game. They lost. But they played really really good. I think the score was to 30 to 6. But they played a super fast and hard team. Bryce played like most of the game, and had a whole whole lot of tackles . Then I got my haircut Tuesday before the game. I forgot to put that first. Well I got like 2 1-2 Inches cut off. It is shorter than I wanted it- But it will have to do. Then that night was my basketball practice. We started Conditioning. It was sosooso hard!!! We had to jump rope... , run like 6 laps..., lift weights in the stinky boys football locker room..., and we also had to do excercizes on a ladder. It was hard , but it will pay off whenever we have our games. In the spring I am doing Track, then in May I will try out for Volleyball. It should be fun... :) Well That is my boring News. Sorry i didnt take any pictures. I brought my camera all the way to Cookville, but then forgot it in the car. And then I also brought it to the football games, but Bryce didnt want his picture made. Well Guess I will see you soon. :)Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08942162372330452374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068504648457988240.post-24972038252481896032008-08-28T17:40:00.000-07:002008-08-28T17:42:58.930-07:00Exciting News!!!!!!!!!!!!<span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff6666;">Okay, well</span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color:#ff6666;"> guess what???

Then we woke up at 6:26 for the service project on Saturday Morning. It started at 8 , but we had to be there early to set up some stuff. It was a lot of fun!!! Well , Merideth, Rachel , And I were in the same group. It was sosoos much fun!!! We cleaned up an old cemetery. There was a great turnout. Then when we were done at like 12 that afternoon we went to the Stake building to have Pizza and talk, and play basketball if you wanted to. Well then after we left that some people went to my Grandma's house to swim. Then we went to my house for a four wheeler ride, and to eat. Then we went to the Hale's house to play some. We went up on their barn roof, to see the sun set, and then we played hide and go seek in the dark. Then we decided we wanted to go rolling. It was sososo fun!!!! We rolled one of my friends on my basketball team. Then we picked it up because they caught us. We called it *Mormon Rolling* because we had 9 mormons with us and our next door neighbow, so we told my mom we could share with Garrett(Next door neighbor) A great experience of mormon rolling.

For those of you that don't know I am on the 8th grade team. I am in 7th grade. Okay, well we have not had practice since 2 weeks, because WCMS got new flooring. :) We are so glad for that. Well , during the 2 week period I tried to run a mile almost everyday, and I shot some hoops now and then , but I was just soso busy, With church, and vacation, and school. It has been pretty crazy. But anyway , well last night we had practice for 1 hour. It was pretty hard. I felt like I was going to die. We had to run so much, and we had to play 5 on 5 . And for those of you who do not know... well our school is VERY old. Like it was my dad's High school. Well there is no air conditioning. And It was very very hot. Well just thoguht I would tell you a little bit about it. Here is my basketball team. :)</div>Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08942162372330452374noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068504648457988240.post-30657287106908302142008-08-18T13:28:00.000-07:002008-08-18T13:43:49.856-07:00Twilight news!!!!!!<span style="font-size:130%;">Okay, well guess what I just found out???

I am so excited!!! My sister and I used to share a room until we started working on my room, then she moved into the toy room. I think it is so cute!!! Rachel Hale , and I like love polka dots!!! I was going to get pink and brown , but then I saw the bedspread in Pottery barn magazine and I showed my mom and she got it as a birthday-christmas early present. Then we happened to be at target (my favorite store) one day and we saw polka dot sheets!!! I thought they were so cute!!! Then my mom got me a polka dot lamp. :) If you can see the polka dots at the top of my ceiling. Well a lady in our church painted those. She did a great job!!! Then a couple weeks ago , we went to a party thing at a person's house, where they sell letters to go on wall's and stuff, and My mom got me the letter's Alyson . And we just now put it up . So I think I am all set. :) In the closet, it is sort of big, so Kara and I sort of still share it, but well I am 99% of the time very organized . So here is some pictures of my room, and closet. :) </span></div>Alysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08942162372330452374noreply@blogger.com0
