I'm enjoying summer so much I love the hot weather and all the time to myself!! I have been working lots which is good I'm still doing eyelash extensions and also working at the Beauty Bar as an Esthetician. I mostly do pedicures and the occasional manicure and facial it is a great job for the summer cause it is just so relaxed and i'm on call most of the time so I get a lot of the day to myself so I really do enjoy that and I love the girl I work for she is awesome!! So come in and get stuff done from me!!
Other regulars things I am loving this summer is Wed night family night! This summer I feel like I have just gotten so close with my family and I have been loving it! So that has been fun and what is even better is on Mondays the girl get together and watch the bachelorette!! (: we have even gotten my dad watching it too its pretty hilarious actually!! so pretty much it started out with the girls just watching it and now it is pretty much is a family function now that you don't dare miss!! we have fun I love it and I really do just love my family! I'm grateful for them and the examples they are to me and how they are always there for me without a doubt!! I really do feel lucky to have them all in my lives and I would be a lost person without them!!
As much as I am loving summer it really isn't the same without my friends here though!! This past month has been a lonely one for me! I was so used to hanging out with my best friends Kelon and Preston everyday!! now that they are gone I feel like the biggest loser honestly!! haha!! I couldn't be happier to see where these boys are at in there lives!! a couple weeks ago I was feeling really bitter almost.. I was asking myself honestly this isn't fair to take all my friends away from me for 2 years and that I really miss them and I was just really down! Well than Monday came I got an email from Benny and it said exactly what I needed to hear
Jackee I was thinking about the mission. My purpose here is to help people. I will learn and grow and change a lot that is true. But, I am not here to change my life. No, to change the lives of these people. I spoke in church this week and taught preisthood, it was a good thing for me. I was able to bear testimony of why i am here. I am not here to bring more people to church or to have more tithing or to grow the church. no no no. None of those things. i am here to help people increase their faith in the lord jesus christ. There is no other way to be saved jackee. I think about if i didn´t serve think of all the people that would have been affected by it. Not just me. But the entire world would have changed if i didnt serve a mission. I am not saying that i am great, however i am saying that the work is great and the ordenanzas of the gospel are the only way that people can be saved. there is no other way jackee. I love you so much jackee. Tell someone that you love them today okay. Love is a big deal.
So yes I miss them so much but I couldn't be happier to see where these boys are at in there lives!! they are all growing so much spiritually and are all just SO happy! They are changing lives everyday! I think about it and am just so happy for them! I am so grateful for missionary work. I see how much Ben has helped the people of Colombia and that is just one missionary! I am so grateful for there hard work and sacrifice if it wasn't for these young boys the gospel wouldn't be where it is at today and i'm so immensely grateful for that!! (: I have the best friends yup I do they are awesome!

| Just ALL the farewell pictures |
To jump around some more. we are closing up July and I do love July because of all the celebration!! This year was different you could say though for sure!! Went to the eagle wood firework on the 3rd with the girls, went to the 24th parade with the family and not going to lie it was not good this year I didn't think it was super short and just wasn't good as usual so a little bummer about that than went to Mueller park fireworks with my girl Kandis and met up with some of our friends! the Mueller parks fireworks were great though!! they were long and just really good!! so that is always good! so to say the least the celebration of our country and state were great but definitely didn't compare to last year one bit!! Eagle wood fireworks with Benny, the Rigby party with the Belnaps, home firework with the Belnaps, Mueller park firework at Bennys grandmas house.. okay so yeah pretty much I think it was great cause Ben was here, and just really missed him this July for sure.. Everyone probably thinks my obsession with him is getting old but oh well it is cool right.. I just miss him that is all!! haha!!
well I think my rambling is done for now!! so this blog is all over the place but ohh well!! hope everyone had a some great fun over the 4th and 24th!! LOVE YOU ALL
