Feb 24th. Fwd: Family Reunions, getting roped into more singing, and I love being a missionary!!

Hello Everyone!!!
We had a fabulous week this week. Did you?? Probably one of my very most favorite parts of the week was that I got to contact my great Aunt Ann who lives here in the grand juction area?! Isn't that crazy! We had dinner together and I got a bazillion pictures from her of hilarious pictures of my parents and aunts and uncles when they were younger! She also gave me a family history coloring book!!! I found out that one of my ancestors was companions with Wilford Woodruff and Thomas B. Marsh!!! He was also bishop of the Nauvoo 9th ward!! So cool! My companion said she felt like she was apart of a little family reunion haha. It was really cool getting to know them better. The only bad thing about going to dinner with them, is that they live out of our area. We got permission to visit them but it kind of made us half an hour late to a primary baptismal preview that we were suppose to sing at. Don't worry we made it barely in time to sing for our part. Thank goodness!!! 
We even went to the wrong building!!! I called the elders in our ward, who had a part in the program too, in a panic trying to figure out where everyone was.....this conversation proceeded...

Me-"WHERE IS EVERYONE ARE WE AT THE WRONG BUILDING....???!!"
Elder Horman-" Pause.............BAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!"
Me-"I'M SERIOUS WHERE IS EVERYONE! ARE WE SUPPOSE TO BE AT THE MELODY LANE BUILDING??"
Elder Horman-"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH........HAHAHAHA"
Me-"WILL YOU PLEASE STALL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN MAKE IT FOR OUR PART IN TIME??"
Elder Horman-"BAHAHAHA....HAHHAH.........ok ok, i'm composed now.......HAHAHAH AHHAHA BHAHAHA........yeah we can do that.....""
Me-"WE ARE DISAPPOINTING LITTLE 8 YEAR OLDS I'M GOING TO CRY IF WE MESS THIS UP!!!"
Elder Horman-"BAHAHAHAHA...HAHAHA"
*CLICK*

.....For some reason the elders think sisters are suppose to be perfect so when we mess up they get some pretty good enjoyment out of it. #annoying 
Don't worry it all went perfectly fine. I just panic when people are counting on us and we are late. Worst feeling in the world. Especially when you show up at the wrong place!

So yeah, things are going so fantastic. We had interviews with our mission president this week. He asked me if I felt like i was the missionary I wanted to be. I paused and thought about it, and I smiled. I mean this in the least prideful way possible, but I seriously feel like I am finally where I want to be as a missionary. I feel like I have officially become a missionary. I feel super comfortable in the work. I am always pushing myself, reaching new goals, and accomplishing things I never thought I would accomplish. I ABSOLUTELY love being a missionary. I can't picture my life any different. I am soooo happy!!! Thank you everyone for all of your support. for helping me get to where I am today!! I know all of you played a special part in this process. Keep being amazing! keep influencing those around you for good and keep sharing your testimony!!

I love you all!! have the best day ever!!

Love sister Jones
