Today instead of having our normal Sunday church services, my ward was able to give service.
My ward was given the opportunity to go to the Randolph Training Center. It is a home for the severely handicapped. We got split into groups to go get our "friends" from their cottages and then bring them back to a gym, where we held primary. It was not quite and reverent like you would expect when you are in your church meetings but it was absolutely amazing. The spirit was so extremely strong and over powering, I loved it!!
I was partnered with a beautiful sweet lady named Tony. She was very shy and quite and kept to herself, but I could feel her sweet spirit so strongly I can't put it in words. Although she was unable to speak and couldn't carry on a conversation I could feel not only the love that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ not only has for her but also for me. It was an amazing experience. The whole time I could not help but smile, all the people there had such sweet spirits and are so much closer and know so much more about our Heavenly Father. I also felt such a true unconditional love for her.
I would love to be able to go all the time and spend time with these sweet spirits. I wish I could know more about them and their stories. I enjoyed being able to go and serve all of them. It was so awesome. It was wonderful and I want to do again, it made me get out of my confort zone and in exchange be able to feel the spirit and have a Christlike love.

Sea World
Sea World for the 4th time in a year crazy?!!
Not if you have season passes. They had a deal that if you bought a day pass you could upgrade to a year long fun pass... so that's what we did when we went last fall.
This trip though was a combo of a birthday party and trip to Sea World.
Jenna turued 5 Nov. 7. We originally were going to have an Elmo Party because Elmo's Bay of Fun just opened this fall, but Jenna had other plans. She decided she wanted to have a Shamu Party instead, because she had already had an Elmo party.
We said ok, and went to work.
Lorinda made Shamu cup cakes. They were awesome.
It was a very fun trip. We took it way easier this time since we had been there a few times already and let Jenna pretty much be in charge since it was her B-day.
We got to see the Manatees this time, they most definately are very weird animals. We also saw the pet show it was very funny.
The Shamu show was awesome, it actually was different then the past two times, it's still the Believe show and about following your dreams. But this time there were two whales and trainers involved. It was lots of fun. These are some of the pictures that I took.
Believe the show title.
Whale Surfing
The Finale!!!
