I love visitors!

So this past weekend was so much fun! My sisters, Jessica and Jenni, came to visit me! They got here on Wednesday night, (the 28th) and left on April 1st. The night they got here we went on a walk to the temple to see it all lit up! It was so pretty! And it was really nice for us to be able to talk and catch up.

On Thursday Jenni went to my D&C class with me. I don't really know what she thought about it, but it was fun to have her go with me! Thursday afternoon we went shopping and then Thursday night we went to a BYU Men's Volleyball game!

Friday we had to opportunity to go do baptisms for the dead in the Provo Temple! I love going to do baptisms, it makes me feel at peace with everything. And it was awesome for Jenni, because she had only done baptisms in the Denver temple. Friday night we went to the second half of the BYU Men's Volleyball Game!

On Saturday we had to be up bright and early because we were headed to Salt Lake to stand in the standby line for the morning session of General Conference. We got there around 7am and stood in line. A little bit before 8 and girl came up to us saying that she had 4 extra tickets and if we would like them. There was only 3 of us, but luckily there was a guy standing next to us that was alone so he took the other one! I am so grateful to that girl because who knows if we would have gotten in. This was our very first time at conference, and let me tell you, it was amazing! It was so cool to hear the general authorities speak in person. I had heard the Prophet speak at BYU devotional last semester (which was amazing), but conference was a different experience. The conference center was packed with saints from around the world. And the spirit there was just amazing. It was so cool to be surrounded by so many members of the church. I definitely hope to experience conference again in my lifetime! After the session was over, we walked around temple square for a little bit and it was packed! The protesters were just funny, because they didn't even know what they were talking about, and if they read the Book of Mormon or researched what we actually believed they would know that this is the true church. So after we were done there we hopped in the car and headed down to our brother's (Sam) grave. Next week, on April 8th, will be the 11th anniversary of his death. I know that I was only 7 when he died and i don't have very many memories with him, but I still think about him and miss him all the time. I can feel him with me sometimes and it helps me feel   like i am loved and that i am safe. I miss you Sammy! but i know that i will see you again someday!

Saturday night we went to Lowe's Xtreme Airsports, which is basically trampolines and foam pits that you jump into. There is also a rock climbing wall, that you climb and then fall into the foam pit. We had a lot of fun, but i was really sore the next day.

I was so sad when my sisters had to leave on sunday. They are my best friends and i miss them so much when i'm at school. I can't wait to go home for the summer and be with jennifer. I'm sad that jessica will be up at school though. One of the things i have definitely learned while being away at school, don't take your time with your family for granted!

This week my cute little chubby nephew, Jordan, is turning 1. i can't believe he's been with us for so long! i can't wait to see him and his sister, Annie Bear, in 2 weeks! I love my niece and nephews with all my heart and it's sad for me that i'm not there anymore to see them growing up.

But anyway, only a week and a half left of classes, and then finals week, and then i get to go home! i am so excited!
