New Church Calling

I was recently asked to serve as my church's new Regional Young Single Adult Co-Chair for New England. This area is comprised of 12 stakes in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. 

This calling from my church has a "mission statement" so to speak of striving to create an environment in the New England Region which facilitates transition from youth programs into the Young Single Adult program, foster retention and reactivation efforts among current Young Single Adults, and encourage invitations to other Young Single Adults in the area who are not yet members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

{See what I believe!}

It is a little intimidating to think of the span of area I've been asked to help watch over. But I am so grateful for the service opportunities I am afforded through my membership in the Church. I have found peace and purpose through this calling even in the short time with which I've served and have a co-chair, also recently called, to serve with me who seems very kind and capable.

Here we go!

Christmas Prep

It's been a tough season @ moments for some of us.

The man in the red suit took it pretty hard it would appear, but with a pile of mail-room deliveries like that it's no wonder. Luckily, the next day as I drove by he was back on his feet. Just needed a little breather. Don't we all ;)

Day trip to cut down our own Christmas trees

I was an excellent Axe-holder, but felt like my true purpose lay more along these lines:

*Snow Angel*

 8 trees

(if you're doubting, its cus Becca and I did a freaking amazing job w/ the twine and we made them über compact)

Oh...and

Let's start the new year off right folks

Unknown

 In dreams I have spoken, came I unto you

In ways you would know me

Let my hand to your view

By waters and mountains have I helped you to see

My wonder, my power

What would be, made through me

Though My ways, not your ways, My sight you may share

Turn not, fear not

Assured with My care

In winds and horizons, still waters am I known

Through mists and deep mornings

My hand would be shown

See with me beauty, light through a haze

I stretch forth my hand

As I lay forth your days

Though My ways, not your ways, My sight you may share

Turn not, fear not

Assured by My care

 Mine arm is not slackened, nor taken away

Covenant, I made with you

That promise shall stay

By Me, dear one steady, I trust you to be

Let lift from thy shoulders

Your burdens I’ll ease

Though My ways, not your ways, My sight you may share

Turn not, fear not

Assured of My care

 Your tears do I catch in the palm of My hand

As I hold you and comfort

And help you to stand

For I have descended, through Me do all raise

Like sun before morning

Like mists before skies

Though My ways, not your ways, My sight you may share

Turn not, fear not

 Assured in My care

'Cross fields swept with evening, a glow do I spread

My peace I leave with you

A peace to thy head

Though unknown, uncertain, to you may it seem

Your life to Me known,

Your glory, My dream

My Miss Mitton left me to move to Seattle. Ganna miss that girl. She was a huge part of my Boston home life.

Turlock welcomed me perfectly with this sight

Day trip to the city with mama and daddy-o. 

Visited Chase's new apt. Then they let me go snap-happy experimenting with my camera. 

So much to learn.

 Went to a fantastic fish restaurant, then spent the last of the evening on the wharf.

 Regular home activities ...

(Never fails, my being home marks when it's time to bathe the beast again. she doesn't know it, but she's happier when she's clean.)

Thanks for being awesome, home.
