Except me.. Well or so it seems. It doesn't help that I am on a mission right now.. Duh..
I have felt so overwhelmed the last few days.. Everyone I know is Married, Getting Married, or is pretty dang close. I just have felt like I am never going to find someone.. ugh..
ANY WAY!!! I am so tired of being a "disorder". I just want to be happy and move on with life.. Is that to much to ask?
Sister Louderback Cut my hair last night! I LOVE IT! I wish it were longer though and that I didn't have to loose any length.. but the ends were dead. It was time.. :) Can't put it off for ever.
Today we have planning to do and get our car an oil, lube, and filter.. plus do a little this and that.. ugh I feel soo strained. I don't even understand. I know thats really dumb, but seriously.. A chemical imbalance? I don't have any answers.. I feel like I'm walking through a very cloudy mist and NO one has answers for me.. No Rod of Iron, no angel to help.. ugh...
HELP?! Do you have an insights that could possibly help?
Last night I did not want to sleep.. my body would not allow it. stupid body. What does it know any way.. apparently nothing..
NOW I FEEL LIKE I'M WHINING! I hate whining. It's So silly.. Gotta Go.
The plus side, It's A GLORIOUS day! The sun is shining but its not hot! SWEET!

A weekend of Miracles, leads to one day of Stress..
Wow.. I was the participant in SO many miracles this weekend! Starting with Friday:
So.. we had to run to wal mart because we were fresh out of toilet paper (oops..) and plus we needed milk like whoa.. Sooo... after we get the Tp I start towards the Milk not wanting to get distracted. *which is pretty easy..* "milk, milk, milk, milk.." I keep thinking.. "Uhm.. Sister Brimhall?" 'What?! who KNOWS me here?' I look up, and guess who I see?! Sister Renee Sanders from Springfield, My first AREA!!! I was thrilled to see her! We stood and chatted for a while, I have been thinking about her for sooo long.. I was sooo Happy! That was only the beginning..
Saturday was Lynn's Baptism! It was wonderful! absolutely wonderful. The spirit was soo strong.. lots of members showed up.. Sister Gurney and Myers came! So that was fun to see Sister Gurney again! Plus I got a Phone Call!!! Elder Ensign informed me that in Mount Vernon, LUCAS WAS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!!!!! After soo many painful turns in the road! What a blessing!!!! So I called President and asked if I would be allowed to go! He said of course! YAY ME!
Sunday started really rough.. we only went to Sacrament meeting because Sister Louderback was having a REALLY bad migraine.. Sooo.. I took her home and had Carrie, our investigator come over and massage her neck. She really helped make all the pain go away. I think that the blessing from Brothers Pluim and Morgan helped a whole lot too.. Any way so the time came that we were going to drive out to Mount Vernon, HOORAY!! I really felt that I was driving Home... I was really soo excited and full of joy! I knew that it was going to be a great day. As we got closer and closer to Town Square, I started to get giddy! haha.. I am such a nerd! Any way. We pulled into the Grooms Drive and I wanted to cry! I was SOOO happy and full of joy and love.. and EXCITEMENT!!! Makenzie and Easton were out side when we pulled up, and they started to jump around! Then kenz took me to the door.. which was locked? And BREEZY AND THE REST OF THE GROOMS COME RUSHING THROUGH THE DOOR!!! talk about a WARM welcome! :) Best day of my life! Even Lucas was excited to see me! I Gave EVERYONE hugs and Nearly fell over with so much happiness! Man I wish I had other words to describe it..
Any way.. so we sat around talking for a while, and then we had to go.. oh.. can you feel it? another miracle coming on.. Brother Groom let me drive the COBRA!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was soooooooo excited! it was the smoothest best drive of my life! There was a dream come true! I'd never driven a mustang.. So that was great.. Well.. we pulled up to the church and it was probably a good thing that no one was there yet.. haha.. Soo many familiar faces! The Wozniaks, Grooms, Bundy's, Coopers, Rhines, Groshongs, Peirces, It was SOO GREAT! Took lots of pictures and felt the spirit SOO strong. Lucas is such an amazing kid. He bore his Testimony at the end, and it was incredible. So full of love, and the spirit. I am so lucky and grateful that I was able to come back and witness it.
Any way. After a WONDERFUL time there, I had to drive back home. Saddest day of my life. I cried the whole way home.. blah.. soo.. Monday. Uhm.. bad news bears.. we did a little contacting, and then went home for lunch, well Sister Louderback was in such pain in the car.. I tried to get home as fast as I could.. she went up stairs.. I thought I'd give her a moment.. but then I felt the prompting to get up there NOW. So, I headed up stairs and she was bawling.. so much pain! So I sat with her and tried to comfort her, get her mind off of the pain, but it kept getting worse and worse.. so I called Brother Ballstead and Weller and they came over to give a blessing.. I called Sister Jensen and told her that we needed to get to a hospital or Urgent Care.. But because it was Memorial day, they were all closed. (except the Hospital of course!) Right after her blessing, I had the Brothers help us get to the car and I drove straight to the ER. Well.. we got her in, and they said that the Migraine was brought on by heat exhaustion and Dehydration. So they got an IV in her and pumped alot of drugs in her to get her relaxed and to fall asleep. We got a CATSCAN and everything was fine. She just needed those fluids like WHOA.. I felt like mother with a sick child.. I was in such pain to see her hurt. I think I cried just as much as she did.. When we got home, the Budges (who were supposed to have us over for dinner) brought us dinner in a little picnic basket. My spirit swelled with grattitude and the notion. I felt so blessed to be part of a ward who would do anything for us. Because of their examples I want to do the same for others. I hope that I will be a good, kind, loving person to others.. You can kick me if I'm not. :)
Well, she slept a long, LONG time, and we decided to come to the library to update this and to email our families that we wont email thurs, but wednesday instead. :)
What a joy to know that Heavenly Father has blessed us with the Technology to help even with migraines! He truly loves us!

If you go to the Zoo, DON'T BE A POO!!
Yeah Elders.. ugh.. Any way the Zoo was really fun! but i felt very tired after a while. We walked around in the heat for 3 hours. Blah.. :) it really was fun! I enjoyed myself.. Unfortunately Elder Heal was there.. and I must say that I have a bit of a hard time with him. sigh.. oh well!
We took lots of really fun pictures! I have one cuddling in the arms of an Orangutan! It is really cute! and than one Attacking Elder Heal with a tiger.. I love it! I think my fav though is a me laying on a gorillas back. theres something about monkeys that I thoroghly love.
Today we met with our Mission President.. That was VERY comforting. He was in a wonderfully helpful mood. I say that as if he's not very nice ALL the time.. Really he is. he keeps me giggling. I guess when i talk with him i am much more reasured. Like, I can finish the rest of the transfer because I felt his spirit. Weird huh? Any way..
So Tomorrow is the big day for Lynn! He's soo excited! A little nervous but thats easy to expect! Sister Myers and Gurney are coming down to visit so I am thrilled to see Sister Gurney again! HOORAY!
Time to go.
Home? 3 weeks.
Love

A particularly bad day..
Yes.. Last night I could not sleep. I stayed up till 5 in the morning writing a talk on the Strength of youth. I knew that if I did not get these things written down, that I would be in trouble with Heavenly Father. I'm thinking that its for my Home coming talk.. but I do not know.
So after finally getting to bed, I didn't have a very nice dream. It was a bit of a downer, and scary. I was walking across a bridge with Sister Louderback and then we saw a Giant man swimming in the lake, well, in my dream Giants can't see unless they are in water.. but they can hear REALLY well. So we ran to a near by playground and hid in the slide. well.. I slipped and fell in the water and the giant caught me.. and HE KEPT ME! I was his prisoner. Then the light filled the room and I was awake for the day. I don't know what it meant but I do know that I was very frightened. This led into a depression fit. I laid in bed not wanting to move or get up. These are very discouraging. I asked Sister Louderback if she'd ever felt this way. She said yes, and also that she didn't understand why either. So I struggled with that answer. after laying there for a few hours, and Sister Louderback being so kind and patient with me, I got up and showered. In the shower, I shed a few tears and begged Heavenly Father to help me snap back. Suddenly I felt a miracle forming. I finished my shower with a smile and decided that I was going to change my attitude. That is not something that is particularly easy for me... But I felt so much better. I was able to continue on and Teach Lynn about the importance of tithing.
What a blessing to know that our Heavenly Father knows us all very well and that he will help us when we do all that we can!
I'm looking forward to Thursday! We are going to the Zoo! HOORAY!! one day I'll upload pictures. When I figure out how..

Freshly Created
Hmm.. I must be a rebel. Here I am on a mission and I've just created a blog.. I have no rhyme or reason for doing so.. I guess that would be my reason for rebelling. No reason.. I am now conforming to the Rising Generation of Bloggers... This will be fun though.. I will be able to keep an update on friends and such! Hooray!
Ohio. I love it. Its windy and the sun is shining. Lynn Had his interview today! He passed! YEAH! another one of God's children on the path to Eternal Life.. What a dream I am living.. I can't believe that it will end so soon! Where in the world did the year and a half go!? Probably months of sleeping away my illnesses. Uhg..
Ps to all who are in The AZ my homecoming will be June 14 at 8 am. The Address to the building is 1002 Eason AveBUCKEYE , AZ 85326
HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!
