Make real connections

This is Becky, she is from Idaho and is here studying! She knows Jeanette Leishman and Angela Blazzard from Morgan! Small world, especially in the church. 

Truth be told, I could never be a blogger! haha It's not set in me to make time to be consistent with posting. I do journal regularly though. Things have been going well here in Italy. I enjoy every day, with its ups and downs. This is a beautiful life we live. It's so worth it looking at the good and focusing on the real connections. We can pray for these things too. Pray to not be deceived. Pray to realize when you are focusing too much on distractions. Pray for discernment. He really does answer and helps us see clarity. I couldn't imagine life without the gospel and Jesus Christ. 

My fortune after some yummy chinese food! The man walked next door to the market to get an orange for my orange chicken. Pretty cool. 
Babes in Shades! 

Not everyday do you see this in the local market.
Fellow Morganites! So grateful to run into the Newtons from Morgan. 
I really love sun rays. I feel the spirit when I see them. This morning was special for me and my sweet friend Tere captured it for me.
I may have a Gelato problem. This kind is my favorite! Crema di Grom! 
Here is sweet Tere. She captured me and I captured her.

First FHE in Rome with the YSA. A great message, then Trevi Fountain at night.

I love photos that people take of capturing moments, unplanned, beautiful.
Here at the Mediterranean Sea. So incredible 
Mr. Paul Winder :) He's such a great man and adventure buddy!
Pam and Pina were kind enough to host us down in Sperlonga! 
Water is wonderful
Marmore Falls, a man made waterfall made in 270BC
Dinner after the falls, Authentic Italian!
Ravioli with mushrooms, meat, and sage. Delicious and fulfilling 
<3
Another neat moment Paul captured for me. The busyness and chaos of crowds, but standing still and firm. I love this photo.


I am very happy to share more temple experiences with anyone, just not on here :) I journal a lot and write many things down. It's is powerful to be able to help in the beautiful ordinances that take place in the House of the Lord! The Gospel is true and real. People do accept the work that is being done and yearn for progression.

We are super happy with our hostel. The bed is extremely comfy, the bathroom is so close, everything is super accessible and it's really fun to hear so many accents around. We sometimes hear random farts coming from the others, I think it's mainly the Australian guy. Maybe.,. We got up and had some breakfast. The bread and honey was my favorite. The fruit was moms favorite, mainly pineapple. We got ready and walked to church. It's only a 10-15 minute walk. We are staying so close to where we were last weekend, it's nice to know our way around a bit. Last night when we were walking Sarah to her hostel, we passed the church and realized that her place was right by where we stayed last weekend. It was great to be able to partake of the Sacrament again because last week was district conference and we didn't have it. The meeting was great and hey had a special musical number by the primary children and it was adorable! They sang Nephis courage. We asked a couple behind u...

Today we helped out two of his friends and tomorrow will help our a third. Today for our meals we ate: boiled rice with pork, little bananas, eggs with pork, eggs, cucumbers, two different types of fruit that we don't remember the name of, watermelon, a broth soup for lunch, fried noodles another soup with tofu stuff for dinner, pork spicy stuff. Our morning task was cleaning out the museum and clean up the yard. Mom and I cleaned first and dusted walls, shelves, sweeped water out, from the ground. I was able to clean out an old jewelry cabinet. In this museum was ceremonial clothing, what their houses looked like, baskets and cross bows made out of nature, there were maps of where the Akha ...

We woke up from a very good sleep, got ready for the day. Took a shower that consisted of hot hot water. My experience in Thailand it is either really cold or really hot. Moms been able to find a happy medium. Mom contacted Elder Barlow so that we could keep some things there while we go back to Chiang Rai. We ate breakfast( French toast with honey, fried rice, pineapple, watermelon, and eggs. Some Vegis and mom tried the boiled rice(similar to cream of wheat). We checked out of our hotel and met up with Elder Barlow. Elder Barlow helped us know to take a red truck instead of a Tuktuk to our next destination. We hopped in our taxi and went up to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. It was about a 30 minute drive up the mountains. Up there we hike up 306 stairs to get to Doi Suthep Wat. We saw multiple statues of Buddha and gongs, we hit a really large one, about the size of a car. The view of Chiang Mai from up on the mountain top was amazing and breathtaking. We walked down to a meditation cent...
