if the title didn't do it for you i hope the pictures did.

so it was my birthday

and we went to the natural hot springs

and celebrated in the nature

it was a good time with good people

21 is great

this guy

here we are it's my last week with e wright, after so many journeys and adventures. that kid is finishing his mission. i already know who my next comp is going to be let's just say that stockton to malone will be reunited for the 4th time in history. e. rosa will be my new companion AGAIN. i've lived with this kid for 6 months, worked in 2 different citites, & i trained him. i was his first comp and now he'll be my last. he's sending me home, i know i still have a lot of time and work to do, don't worry i'm still working and baptizing. e wright's parents come on saturday, e wright's goal is to have his dad baptize a brazilian, it's gonna be good.

olivia, you're all 21 and stuff now. hope it was a good party, me and wright celebrated here too in the best way possible, baptizing. i know some of you think i'm messed up in the head but somebody will have to give me a swirly for at least 4 years to change the way i think. olivia, i hope you found the secret passage of enlightenment, if not, you will...

hey liv, i'm giving e wright a big old hug right now, completely heterosexual.

ok first things first this is bigg pappa wright, olivia have you seen "baby's day out"? basically this whole transfer has been just like that movie. can't wait to get up to bountiful not only to sweep vanessa off her feet but to be at spencer's homecoming. i brought e bruzaferro to life in this mission and now he has come to an end... it was one of the greatest days of my life. keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel, we're goin to the road house.

well more like these guys, i just love these two.

dreams do come true

for the last couple of weeks i've been

racing to the mailbox only to find no

letters. i've been pretty bummed out

to say the least. last night as i hopped

into bed with my mama i had this crazy

thought, what if a package comes &

that's what is taking so long and then

it would arrive on my actual, for real

BIRTHDAY

i smiled to myself wishing that it would

come true.

it did

ladies and gents, dreams do come true

my birthday was a success. i officially

turned the big 2 1 and i'm still alive

here's a toast to everyone who was able

to celebrate with me, from NC to the kitchen

table to the jungles of brasil, cheers!

i'll post pictures later i promise

posts w/ no pictures = boring.

blondes have more fun

before

during

after

i don't know why i look 97 in these pictures

but i love my new blonde locks, celeste did an

amazing job, & my hair looks 2 feet longer now

getting ready for sept 29, first p90x now new hair

spence won't even recognize me, can't wait!

xoxo,

olivia

p.s. i couldn't resist the photo in front of the white cupboards

you could say i'm bragging

i gotta hang out with this guy last night!

for those who don't know, elder scott is spencer's

great uncle and he is truly great.

i've been lucky enough to be in the company

of this apostle of God many times.

did you know he is extremely funny?

when his son was at the pulpit introducing him

he was introducing for quite awhile when

elder scott interupts him from behind on the

stand and questions "am i at a funeral service?"

his witty son replied "yes, dad your days are numbered!"

then they both laughed like crazy.

how awesome is that? i loved every minute of it.

life is beautiful because of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

p.s. spencer comes home next month!

xoxo, olivia
