The Missionary's Printable RECIPE Edition

Thank you mom! 

My mother is amazing and already had put together a printable recipe book and had made me a recipe book for college of some of the favorite recipes from the book. I guess organization does run in the genes... 

So this Edition was the easiest to make and has 100% infallible recipes for appetizers and salsa, beef and pork and poultry, breads, breakfast, desserts and cookies, salads and soups, and side dishes. 

All tried and tested by one of the best cooks around and some of the pickiest eaters. 

Hopefully this will help kick start your own recipe book!

The Missionary's Printable HAIR Edtion

First, a big thank you to all my sisters for being so interested in my Exercise Book! I am so glad that one of my favorite projects has become such a favorite with you ladies! 

Next up, you asked for a Hair Edition and so here it is! The Hair Edition of every easy hairstyle on Pinterest and some ideas for days when you maybe have a little more time.

I also included some tutorials of how to do some basic braids just in case you need some help with that, because I am a braid fanatic and might have included a couple extra. ;)

Let me know if there's something you would like me to add or change and I would be happy to incorporate those! Good luck on your missions and let me know if there's anything else I could make to organize our missions for us!

The Missionary's Printable EXERCISE Edition

Welp... I did it! I made my exercise book!

It seems so weird to actually start making the things I want to use for my mission, buuut maybe it's just me.

So, I heard from a few different sisters that the exercise routine gets a bit monotonous, 

thus my Exercise Edition was born.

There's probably a book floating around somewhere with a bunch of exercises, but I don't know where it is so I made my own.
It took long enough to make it and I hope that if this was something you were interested in this will help jump start your project!
Next step: Printing it...

Annnd here's a copy of your own Exercise Edition! Have a wonderful mission! :)

My Mission Checklist

Well dang it! I thought I would be better at this blog posting thing...turns out it wasn't meant to be! Despite this post being to remind me that I still have a blog I think I'm going to make a list of everything I still need or want to do before leaving on my mission.

• Make a tulle skirt! I saw a Pinterest (I know, how typical sis mish...right?) tutorial and it looks so easy and cute and I want one!
• Organize and create a binder to help me come back to real life after the mission instead of floundering around:
• how to get back into school
• my class schedule
• housing
• plan to start looking for a new car
• plan to start looking for a new job
• financial budget
• Move all my stuff from my apartment back home
• Sell my car

Ok, I think that's it! My to do list, guess we'll have to see how it works!

Let It Go, and Give It To The Lord

Let me teach you how to make my bed: 1. Place the fitted sheet and top sheet on bed. Straight. No wrinkles. Even on both sides. 2. Place heated blanket. Make sure the cord is tucked under the bed. 3 Put comforter on. Make sure tag is on the bottom of the bed and there are three quilted squares on both sides. 4. Tuck everything in military style. Tight. 5. Put levi blanket on. Tuck in. 6. Place duvet comforter on top with no wrinkles. 7. Place pillows. 

My friends know that it is most likely we will sleep on the couches and floor for sleepovers because I hate it when they throw back the covers in the morning. 

My mom knows that she cannot put away my clothes for me because she will not be able to hang up my color coordinated shirts in my closet and put my pants correctly in their places in my drawers. But nope I’m not a control freak. 

I just like things my way. 

Sometimes it is hard for me to let go and let somebody else do what they want or what they think is best. Honestly it kills me. I cringe inside when working on a project and someone is bound and determined to do something  that will undoubtedly screw up the project.

Sometimes it's hard to let go and let other people handle situations, but what about letting Heavenly Father control our situation? 

What about letting the Holy Ghost guide? 

Sometimes it's even harder to let Him control the situation than people you can actually touch and feel. 

As I was contemplating my decision to serve a mission, one returned sister missionary told me 

"Let it go, and give it to God." 

Wow. Never ever has a phrase struck me and stuck to me as long as this one has. I think it's hard for many of us to let go and completely trust the path our Heavenly Father is leading us on. We know what's best for us after all, it's our life! 

But He knows us. He knows me. 

He has seen all that I can become and has placed me in the optimal position for achieving this potential. 

So here it goes. I'm letting go! I'm giving it to the Lord.
