Today, I am HAPPY. Happy as a clam. I don't know how clams are considered happy. Perhaps its the way they're shaped. Regardless, I am a happy person.

Happy birthdays are in order!! EMILY!!! And BRETT Robertson!!! And Paige Knudsen!!! And Inez!! I actually lost my birthday list...but please know that you are not forgotten! I found that precious piece of birthday paper!! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Love you all!!!

THANK YOU Tiffany, Grandma & Grandpa Davis, Grandma & Grandpa Harmer, and Margaret for ALL your support and love. Seriously. You have no idea how much those notes of encouragement and support mean to me.

Life is good here in Salt Lake. It's been a CRAZY few days. Literally. Crazy. I will miss Sister Moisio so much. I know I say that from time to time with these companions of mine, but seriously, she is a forever friend. I learned so much while we got to serve together.

Sister Maneha is wonderful. She's Hawaiian. From Oahu!! Yay! And for kicks, she even speaks Hawaiian. She loves ice cream too. I think we'll get along just wonderfully well.

One of the 12 apostles, Elder David A Bednar, went to DENMARK!! People. I am telling you....Denmark is on the map. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like my friends Benjamin is the face underneath the arrow in one of these.! Miss you Denmark....

Something that I learned this week is to really be happy, I really need to soak in the moment. Whatever that random moment is, I can choose to love it or not. It's been really hectic trying to schedule sister missionary coverage for the Beehive House, especially during General Conference. We're expecting over 100,000 people to Temple Square over the course of 2 days. Yep. Unreal. We'll see if I'm still standing next week.

Sister Moisio and I got to be with Aunt Suzy!! Uncle Ray's sister!! She's wonderful. She let us explore the behind the scenes of the Tabernacle. She was SO generous in doing so. She was so busy, but she made time to be with us. Seriously. Angel.

I am grateful for the blessings in my life. Grateful for the privilege it is to serve my loving Heavenly Father every day by loving His kids. I hope that I am learning how to be more patient, more kind, more sincere, more understanding and more charitable. All that for 18 months? I'll take it.

Love you all so much. Thank you for everything!!!!
Much Love,
Sister Amy
