My sister(Alanna's Sister) Nicole got her mission call! She actually got it two weeks ago but it takes me awhile to post. She will be serving in....
Charleston, West Virgina
She is excited! She will be leaving July 23rd. This has been a fun experience since she is my first sibling to serve a mission. Its also kinda crazy knowing that she will be gone for a year and a half. We will miss her since she has been living in Provo close to us. A part of me kind of envies her for getting this experience. Kurt, teasing, tells me that it would be too hard for me which I agree. But, being able to dedicate 18 months to the Lord immersing yourself in serving, scriptures, the gospel and nothing else would be totally worth it.
We had so much fun! My family came down from Idaho and we met them at the Salt Lake Temple. There Nicole anxiously opened her call on the steps. It will probably be a day that she will never forget!In the picture: Mom, Dad, Alanna, Kurt, Nicole, Keshia, Brittany, Nathan, Darci, Jared
This event was not the only one we were celebrating. The next morning my sister Keshia was going to fly out from the Salt Lake airport to go to Ecuador. She volunteered to go work in orphanages there for two and a half months. She has already been there for two weeks and so far I have gotten three emails from her and talked to her once on the phone. She is having such a great time. I'm sure it's crazy at times but, she also gets to go on field trips, shopping, and touring. Pl
us she says they have heavenly ice cream. She loves the kids so much and has totally immersed herself into serving them.After we opened Nicole's call we went to the Gateway and ate at California Pizza Kitchen. It was my first time eating there it was so good. I love there salads. Here is a picture of Kurt and I sharing my Strawberry Lemonade.
(As always he always has to pull a goofy face!)
That same week was the weekend that we went to Vegas! We went there cause we had a meeting to go to for Networth Solutions. We had a great time! I actually skipped out on the meeting and laid by the pool because our time there was short and the warm weather was so nice! The sunburn was OK after the first couple days and now at least I have a little color.:-)
