Hello!

Yesterday was CRAZY! Just because I was doing something all day from 9- 10 at night! I did feel pretty cool though, we had to do a prep video for icover yesterday and we had to play our song while they had these professional cameras on us and all these crazy colored stage lights, I felt like we were famous or something... haha no but we do have to go in this week to practice with the stage presence coach which will be really cool. All the bands get to do this and I think it will make me less nervous... because I just found out the number of people that actually go to this on their icover thing it said thousands of people! AHAHHAHAH! Its okay though we are going to keep practicing... and practicing and practicing!

I am soooo super exited to come down for the twins baptism! It does seem weird that they are in that stage of life! All of everyone is growing up! You know what this means don't you? Not less crazy children, but MORE!!!! HAHAHA pretty soon you will be bombarded with a stream of endless crazy grandchildren that will progressively get more insane as the years roll on! I know I've said that I want to live out of Idaho but I think that I just want to travel around to other places but live here. It's nice here, I love Idaho, some of my friends were talking about how they don't have mountains where they live and I think that would make me go crazy! I also just love all the nature and the people and everything. So I hope to live here it's a good environment!

I'm super exited to vote today! A lot of people are going now, even this guy from Arizona who is going to see if he can vote here now because he has lived in Idaho for school without going home for so long. I am really exited. Also they give you fun chips to vote with so that will also be fun. Good news mom, I believe that I am becoming evolutionary more effective and productive. Its natural selection, If I don't I will die! So I do. Also I might possibly be getting better at my spelling, and actually, funny as it sounds Its because of spell check, I always look to see how I've spelled a word wrong so I can remember it for later. Gotta love it.

Well love all ya'll! Sorry I didn't get this to you Sunday!

Love, Mikayla

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." (Marjorie Pay Hinckley)

"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places--and there are so many--where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand Utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human being s should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." (Howard Zinn)

“God made the world for the delight of human beings--if we would see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we’ve waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us--you just can’t resist Him. I believe there’s no such thing as luck in life, it’s God’s love, it’s His.” (Mother Teresa)

“[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing the things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.” (C.S. Lewis)
