elder update.

Elder Bryce Goodfellow is doing so wonderfully!!! He has 102 days left of serving his full time mission! and as he said.. he is not ready to come home yet! (I am.. but it's fine)He loves the work he is doing and he feels on top of his game! he was recently called to be a Zone Leader.  So proud of him.  He also had the opportunity to see the canal for the first time! He knows the language like a pro and sometimes in his letter he will put some Spanish words in there without even realizing.  Every time I have been able to hear his voice I hear his accent getting stronger and stronger.  The people of Panama are so lucky to have him there serving and sacrificing. While I was watching the first session of conference I thought to myself.. me and him are both doing this right now.  Very rarely are we doing the same thing at the same time.  I am so proud of him, how much he has given, and how strong his testimony has become.  He will have so much to teach and share with us at home when he returns.  I am so blessed to have him in my life.  I love you Bryce. 102 more days :)

Disney Wonder Cruise

okkkk I better blog about this before I forget about all the wonderful adventures!!! So the week after my spring break.. (ya I just missed a week of school it's fine) me, my mom, my dad, brittany, joe, kristi and family, and jason and family all headed to LA... to board the Disney Wonder for a week of..well... wonder!!! Me, Brittany, and Joe were in stateroom 6631! The cruise was amazing (for my family particularly because we are disney FREAKS)! You would be walking around and.. oh.. there's Mickey Mouse! nbd!! Every night at dinner... we would all order everything!!! I tried so many things because it was all FREE well... included :)! all you can drink soda.. all you can eat ice cream! oh and another awesome part! there are all of these kids clubs so the kids just go in there and play ALL day and all the adults can hang out in peace! I pretty much only saw them at the pool, dinner, and the ports of call! oh duh ports of call.... we went to Puerto Vallarta where we went to the beach and pool of my sister's friend's condo which was a really nice resort.  and then we went to cabo san lucas where we took a glass bottom boat tour to lovers beach and pelican beach... and of course we did some shopping! I got a mad deal on some cute authentic backpacks!!! Me and my siblings and parents saw a lot of variety shows like magicians, jugglers, and ventriloquists.  We also partook in a LOT of karaoke!  We got to know so many awesome people at the shows and the dance parties... oh the dance parties!! and wait.. get this.. my BROTHER danced! ya and my BROTHERINLAW.. i don't think I have EVER seen either one of them bust a move! Basically, overall, I am SOLD on cruises! once you are on that ship (can't call it a boat.. drives my dad crazy) you don't have a single worry! well here goes the picture... I had to pick only a few out of the 300 that I took that week!!!! 

no explanation needed for these ones... :)

my dad had some business in kanab.. so we toured the area.. took us about an hour :)

slept in vegas for a night to spend time with uncle jim and ranae!
