I Love The Gospel & My BFFs

So, I had a birthday party about a week and a half ago because I'm behind in my posting :) It was so fun! I had a bunch of friends there and got some pretty cool stuff. like this elephant!!
And this hat that I put on my daddy. My friend RAR Jean Jean made it for me!! :)

Best part of the month by far was the temple trip! We had to wake up at early o'clock though.
This was on our way to the church. Totally worth 4 hours of sleep though!
Me and Gina
 My Darling Logan Eason
 My Eason babies' last official temple trip with the G2 Youth.
I love them SO much

There is no describing the spirit that is felt doing baptisms for people who actually lived on the earth and after a hundred years of being taught are now starting their journey. It is amazing to me and I feel honored to be able to do this work for them :)
Logan, who is Madison's sister, and the greatest girl on the planet, has autism and she barely wanted to get baptized at her own baptism. The time before this trip she did one baptism and that was a big deal because she had only ever done conformations, but THIS time she did 10 baptisms!!! It was amazing!!! I was so proud of her! She is grand! I want a seat right next to her in heaven. <3

Collard festival was this weekend and I skipped the parade to go to the temple, which was a pretty biggy d cause I'm the drum major. But IT WAS WORTH IT! I wouldn't have missed it for anything. So, Collard Festival. The Martin McDaniel Band was playing saturday night, down town. They are amazing. Madison and I were there awesome crazy stalker fans that yelled "WE LOVE YOU!!" every 5 minutes. :) After they finished playing we went up and met them and they all signed Chuckles' (The drummer's name is Chuck and Drew, the bass player called him chuckles :)) drumstick. We let Madi take it because she was about to move. It was SO fun though.
It didn't hit me at all that my dearest friend was moving until Sunday night when they had departed in to the vast world of roads to Virginia. Then the tears came. But, my friends are the best I could ever wish for. I will always be close to them and, in the not so famous words of Regina Spektor, there's "no need to say goodbye."
Unfortunately, there is a need to say goodbye because I have a test tomorrow so I need to go to sleep soon. :) Oh! There is no seminary tomorrow! :( I love seminary! The Old Testament is a VERY cool book. Full of these crazy stories and amazing ideas. I was surprised to find out how little I knew about this one book. Every day is a new adventure in the world of the scriptures! And I will close with that.
Appreciate your friends,
Tell your mommy you love her,
Read the scriptures every day.
All My Love,
