My sweet Grandma

This last Sunday my wonderful sweet loving Grandma Reed, she suffered from an intense brain tumor. This was a tough battle but she still faces it with a smile. My grandma was the most selfless person I have ever met, she was always serving others.
Some of my favorite memories of my Grandma are when we were little Grandpa would take us fishing and when we came home with all the fish we had caught and once we had gutted it grandma would show us how the best way to cool it would be.
Another one of my favorite things is every night we arrived at her house she would have a mud pie with whip cream and gummy bears set up. It's still one of my favorite desserts.
Just an example of who and what kind of lady my grandma was, was when my parents went to Europe with Karen and Chris they took the whole Thompson family to Death Valley for a week then turned around and came and took all five of us and little Mary. This was a very dirty and extremely hot week, we camped in tents and there was sand everywhere haha during the trip I may not have had the best attitude but looking back it's been one of my most special and funny memories. She put up with 6 stinky dirty children for a week on her birthday of this doesn't show love and selflessness I don't know what is.
I am so thankful for her beauty and love she put into this world, she has truly made me want to become a better person. I love you Grandma thank you for always loving me and being someone I could always look up too, you will be greatly missed but there won't go a day by that I won't think of you. I Love you xoxox

Missionary work

Being in Ireland I have been surrounded by missionary work and missionary opportunities daily, some of them I don't see until later but I know I have been more than lucky to tell people about the gospel, and what we believe in. At school someone who went there before me left some weird impressions on people and stuff about our church and so I have been asked ridiculous questions and some of them I just have to laugh at, for example: "are you aloud to talk to boys?", "aren't you not aloud to date until your 18?" " are you aloud to kiss?" "are you aloud to Go to parties, and can you drink and stuff" that one was more serious but some just crack me up, but with the Faloon's in the school now I think we can get a pretty good name to the Mormons, and straighten out some questions. Sometimes when im telling my mom about someone ssking me stuff at school i cant even remeber how I worded something but I know Heavenly Father helped me know what the correct thing to say was. I have also spent a lot of time with the missionaries, they eat at our house all the time and always come with a lesson which I love and then ask us to do something, by doing the simple things challenges they give us I have felt my testimony grow stronger. I have become good friends with the sister missionaries, and last night for mutual they talked to us about why they came on missions, and at first I really just thought heck no am I going to serve a mission but they said something that really hit me "I decided I could leave my family for a short time, to help others be with there families forever." Sister Fisher. After that I felt that this is something I could do, maybe not when I'm 21, but maybe be a senior couple.

France!!

Last week my family and I were able to visit France for the first time since we lived there!!! It was amazing we had beautiful weather, and we're able to see old friends and be total tourists all over again! The first day we got there I was able to see my 2 good friends from 6th grade, Julie and Emily it was a blast and as ended up having a sleepover that night ;) the next day we went to have breakfast with some old friends who were our neighbors. Okay there house was amazing! It was quite tall but was decorated so nice! I kinda just wanted to move right in with them While we were in France we were able to see my "sister" Marie who had lived with us for a few months a few years ago and was able to spend some time with her which was grand! We were also able to go see all of our favorite sites! I forgot how much I absolutely adore that beautiful country and food ;)

Fashion Show

I was in a fashion show that my school put on for a charity. It was directed by a fashion show director lady. We had practices to practice our walk and routine. At first I thought u was going to die in the heels but after ALOT of practice I am now a pro;) it was such a blast we got our hair done at places in town and our makeup done and we had to model certain companies clothes, I kind of really felt like a model having to get all the hair and makeup done haha! It was so fun! And it was a really good way for me to make some new friends! Sorry there are so many pictures!
