AIA DETROIT AVE

okay that is in my area.

2pac was talking about coca beach! girls are hot wearing WAY LESS THAN BIKINIS~ but with sista williams im keepin real!

AHHHH WE ARE SUCH A DREAM TEAM! I love her sooo much! we are soooo much alike i just die! ahhhh! literally i will have to send you a list! She is from moore park CA, in the TO stake...doesnt know the Hatch's but knows the Talbots so thats weird. i guess Brock and her bro Clay were buddies. cray., She went to BYU and we started with the same major ideas and now are major idea less. gah we have so much fun and i love her sooo much! We have so much fun everyday! and the area is so cool! okay this email is going to be short but it is just so cool

we both get migraines. gingers. born in Ca. dad from ID. creative padres. love to run and dance. ultra crazy and loud. hilarious. weird voices. and soo much more that i cant list.

BUT we have seen so many miracles working together and although it was super sad to leave LW it has been such a blessing to be with Sister Williams. Way too much fun! So here is my area Merritt Island, Cape Canaveral, and Cocoa Beach. I WORK ON AN ISLAND. It is soo sick! i love it. It is going to be such a fun transfer! I am so excited to serve in rockledge east! honestly i totally called that we would be companions. in the transfer meeting I told the sister sitting next to me that we would be comps and we totally were. #inspired. okay sorry this is all over the plave! i love you all. reading through the BOM again. such a good book. read it if you havent. i love it and know all who read it can come closer to christ. the atonement is real. let it work within you.

life is good. keep livin it.

so as this transfer has come to a close I have realized that I have lived in Longwood for 7.5 months and thats the 2nd longest amount of time ive lived away from home...this gingers growin up. #growingpains #itsthebest

I will really miss it here. the members are amazing. like today some of them are taking us to lunch and then going bowling. FUN. wow. people are so nice. i have made it a goal to be nicer to people once im home....imma jerk. lets face it. BUT because of the knowledge of the gospel I have and the PRIME PERFECTION example of Jesus Christ, I can ALWAYS work to become better! Okay so maybe i am being a little hard on myself. (if any of you agreed i am a jerk...sorry and you should try to think the best of others) I just want to be more Christlike thats all.

Okay wellp. This week and 12 weeks has gone by in a flash. someone told me in an email that i only have 6 months left...thats like 5 transfers. Our AP told me that my group(all 27 of us) will have to stay in a hotel the night that we leave the mission because there isnt enough room in the mission home. crazy. but i cant think about that or else itll make me think of the end. AND I WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE NOW! (this is the nowgeneration...are the BEP still cool? not since 2000 late? cool) So here is something cool. we went to this great burger place. CALLED BURGERFI! oHHHHHMYYYYYYYYEEEE GEESE. they had these urban fries with parm and herbs and garlic aoli...OMGeez. THEN they had a breakie burger that had egg and cheese and burger and syrup and bacon and hashbrown. and it tasted more like jack in the box wedges with bacon and cheese - the classic post dentist in CA treat. IT WAS DELICIOUS> count on me to always love food. thats something you can count on. change. and the fact that sister HART LOVES FOOD. call me what you will. but name calling will get you no HAWHERE in life. any who.

I love it out here. i really do. Margarita. just baptized. wrote her conversion story and i am emailing it seperately. it is pretty cool. she was really prepared. but it wasnt an easy journey. Conversion isnt always easy. Being a member isnt always EASY...BUT its worth it! the blessings are eternal. I know that to be true.

okay other news. stamps? hope you sent them. AMANDA IS ENGAGED?!?! what. that is great! to Dallas?! So great. whens the wedding? wish i could see it! OH MY! love it. also DAD. I said bye to the amazing Thebaud family last night and THEY CANNOT WAIT FOR YOU TO COME AND MEET THEM AND SPEAK TO THEM IN CREOLE! so practice. also they do the neonatal service mission stuff for the church and other groups and are going to HAiti in 3ish weeks on june 1st. pretty cool. also. i just love you all. what is looos babys name. saw a pic on fb and Died. also what else is going on with the family. Got a great letter from Billy bob keeping me in the loop with the easter bird rescue. nice dad. BUt other than that. NADA. help a sister out.

ha. okay that may be asking too much of you. i love you. you are doing a lot of good things. so if its too much to ask just don't do it. ha.

okay wellp I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOOOOOOVE YOU! (buddy the elf whats your favorite color?;)

okay peace out lil scouts!

oh i love your faces.

WOW. i love your faces. i just love them. they are so brilliant. beautiful. beaming. and bright. I am grateful that I had such a wonderful amount of time to see them. It may have only been 30 minutes BUT it felt like hours. THAT WAS EASILY THE BEST W.O.W EVER! HANDS DOWN. CANT COMPETE WITH THAT. Seriously. there is no competition. I LOVED THAT. sorry i BAWLED like a babe. i guess it was necessary. i tried to hold back those hart tears. BUT alas. they won. But hey thanks to the nelson drive for "dont be a wuss" i was able to hold them off for awhile. cool. yes those are the things i think of when i think of family. harts - lots o tears. Nelsons - no fears. its just the way it is. no offense to anyone. both are necessary. it just means that MY FAMILY has the best of both worlds. #bragging #notchristlike #sorry...seriously

Okay so this week was a whirlwind of adventure and BUSYNESS and BUSINESS. we had to get erry thang cleared for the miraculous baptism. seriously Margarita Castaner has the MOST AMAZING CONVERSION STORY EVER. i wouldnt be surprised if she was name dropped in conference one day. she was so prepared and has gone through so many hurdles to get this. #quebendecion

also sis BATES is just awesome and her children are adorable. (see photos. LUCY BATES is so cute. she has some pretty scandalous photos for a 2 yr old i must say;) also the SNyders are the best. Seriously. I am so grateful to have been able to meet so many wonderful people down here. they are seriously the best and I love to serve and serve with them. What a wonderful thing. One thing that i have learned is that If you are willing to immerse yourself in the gospel and the church - with all that that entails, even if its lame, overwhelming, long, boring, or even with people you dont like - you can be blessed and guaranteed with success. It may not be in the way you imagined it, but success none the less. i am so grateful to have been able to see that in the lives of the amazing members here in Florida and in Longwood especially. AND in the life of Margarita. She truly understands the fact that if it is what God wants her to do and she knows it is right, NO MATTER what trial she has to endure she knows in the end it will bless her and the generations to come. it can be the same for all of us. Trials will come. IT WILL get hard. We knew that when we signed up for this life. The thing that gets us through is knowing that our FATHER, who loves us MORE than we can comprehend, has a BRILLIANT plan for us and these trials and events and hardships in life are to help us grow and become the people that HE knows we can be.

Brother bates(guy with the beard in the baptism photo, mom has it) gave us this story about how this man was told to push this boulder with all his might. so he did. he exerted all his strength to move it. But it wouldn't budge. he tried so hard and used all his energy to move this rock. but it didn't move. another man came to him saying he should stop trying. that it would never move and wasn't worth the effort. The man continued to push the rock and then in disbelief he began to heed the counsel of the other man and believe the rock would never move. He questioned his master asking why he would have him do so much if the master knew he could never accomplish such a task. The master looked at the man and told him that he never asked him to move the rock. only to push it. sometimes we feel that we have to MOVE our hardships in life when in reality all we must do is press forward trusting in God knowing that it is his will not ours. That story is obvi written better than i can say it but thats the gist.

OOOH. since i finished the new T i started the BOM and have been reading about nephi. SO great! he is seriously the bomb! especially in ch 7. its great!

wellp. i love it out here.

thanks for skyping with me. keep it real

i love you all!

honey honey i can see the stars all the way from here.

Hey Family!

 okay so here's the scoop.

i love you all.

this week was great. it went by soooo freakin fast. geez. i cannot believe it. i have been in LW since october 22. weird. i feel like it hasnt been over 3 months. and then im like - HOLD UP i totally skyped my family here in december. WHOA. so thats crazy.

HOW IS EVERYTHING THERE?

One fun thing.

i was on exchanges this week with a girl from byu that knows some random friends of mine and we talked about winter semester....AHHH! i died! i have no idea what i am going to do about classes. housing. job. anything. how are you working that out? dont worry. i am not worried. although this may make you think "oh i think she's worried about this." Im not. just bringing it up to see what the game plan is. like to be prepared thats all. oooooooooooh. regarding that. dont tell billy bob but the DR HART thing... may not be what im shooting for anymore. i cannot tell you how many times people say to me "youve gotta love what you do" and i do love anatomical medical work BUT i have to admit I LOVE graphics and typography and drawing so much more. #betterlatethannever. #sorryiwontbetherichDRanymore #notsorryatall Yeah so i dont know what direction i will go in school major and classes wise. just finish generals and take some intro classes. i do hate the art dep. at BYU from afar just from word of mouth and what others have said but i can handle it. who knows i may be a DR still i just have to see. lately i have been just confused about all of it. and when people ask i am not as confident in say "I am going to be a DR someday." now its more like "i was planning on being a DR but we will see what happens" #stillgottime Not a worry right now, just wanted to tell you before you find out that my dream is no longer Johns Hopkins (still a dream.)

okay so lately ive been finishing the NT and reading PMG. coolest thing! PMG is the best. if youve never read it. READ IT! #propheticcounsel #blessings. i was reading our of the john(1,2,&3) and it was talking about how with the Love we have for God we should love those around us and be fearless. Because we know He loves us and we love Him there is nothing bad that can happen to us. If we are doing what he asks of us and put our trust in him truly we should be fearless - mostly in missionary work and talking to people. It shouldnt be hard to Open YOUR Mouth if you Love GOD because that means you LOVE the people around you! something that i am working on. (weakness 1230983287: love people halfheartedly) i am going to use my WHOLE HART and LOVE ERRYBODY. i have seen so many miracles in LOVING the PEOPLE here in ORLANDO so now i want to apply it to the rest of my life. The most advice i get from people in letters emails and such is to love the people. Well the advice i would give to you is to LOVE GOD with your whole heart so you CAN love those around you and you will desire to serve them. Hows that for a challenge?

granted the verse says it a little differently but here it is. 1John 5:2-3

Wellp i love you! see you sunday!
