Last night and this morning was such a blast! We had our Relief Society Retreat/Birthday Celebration. We had cake, candy, yummy cinnamon rolls (that Sister Olson was so kind to make), played Rollick, watch Tangled, and talked for hours like girls do. This morning we woke up had a breakfast and a quick devotional. It was a nice and sweet ending seeing as all of us were exhausted!
We had a pretty great turn out to it too! We had about a solid 15-20 at all times and probably close to 30 that showed up for a least some parts! It was such a relief to plan something and have so many people show up for it. Plus I just love our ward and the girls who are in it! This year has really been such a blessing for me. My calling has changed me in more ways that I could have ever imagined. Last year I hardly knew anyone in my ward except for maybe 8 people out of my apartment and that is just because I spent a lot of time my second semester in the apartment above me. This year I made it a goal to really get to know each girl in my ward and for the most part I am pretty sure I did just that. I am going to miss all of our girls so much! It is crazy how close you can get to a group of people and love them all individually so much! The only bad part about having the retreat so late is everyone bonded so well and now it is about time for us to all leave. To be honest I don't want to leave because I love everyone so much.
However, I know life must go on. Lucky for me though some of the girls will be coming back to Snow next year while I am finishing my last semester here. Plus I have be invited by a bunch of them to spend time with them and their families because I will be here this summer instead of going back home to San Diego (I'm trying to get Utah Residency.. eh not sure how I feel about this one).
I love our ward and am so grateful for the amazing bishopric we have! I love our bishop so much and have really grown close to him these past two years. It will be really sad next year because I don't think I will be in his ward since I am moving over to C building instead of being in B. However, I know they always welcome their house up for me and have told me plenty of times to come on over and how I always have a place to go whenever I need. Oh how I love bishop and his wife! I really admire and look up to his wife! She is one AMAZING LADY! (Who also took this pictures, the video was kinda filmed by a little bit of everyone).

Sarah will be in Utah this summer also and will be taking classes at UVU. Maybe you two will see each other. We just confirmed her housing for summer yesterday. We had it confirmed for fall but then she just decided a week ago to she wanted to go this summer.
Where is she going to be staying? I am still looking for a nice place to stay this summer. Any ideas?
