Mission Pictures

My sister was so kind as to take some pictures of me for my mission! We went to Gardener Village for these, it was perfect because it is decorated for fall which happens for fit rather well for Kansas. The pictures have not been edited yet, so these are my favorite "before" shots :) :)

                                                 

Mission Music

So, I have a confession to make, I sing. Not well or on key, but I sing. A lot. With this knowledge, I know that while I am serving my mission I will need sing then as well, it's not just going to go away! The music standards for my mission is uplifting gospel music by LDS artists. I think. I can't find the letter from my mission president so I am sort of guessing(whoops) Music is near and dear to my heart and speaks to my soul, besides as we learn in D&C 25:12,
"For my soul delighteth in the song of he heart; yea, he song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads"(Learn your scripture mastery folks:))
I have been on a hunt for music to bring to Kansas with me so I don't go crazy and start improvising to make up for the loss.
