In the very beginning of May, my mom came up to visit me and we went to Women's Conference together. The Conference lasted for two days and the closing speaker was President Monson! The spirit he brought with him was incredible. On my mom's last day, we (me, my mom, my brother, and my mom's friend Judy) went down to Salt Lake early in the morning and went to the temple. My brother and I did baptisms while my mom and Judy did a session. When my brother and I got out of the font, the temple workers told us we had JUST MISSED the Prophet! I guess he came in to do a sealing. It was an awesome feeling to know that I was in the Temple with the Prophet.
In other exciting news, my little brother, Andrew, opened his mission call yesterday!
He is called to serve in the Trujilla, Peru mission and reports to the MTC on September 17th! I was worried that he would be asked to leave while I was in Europe this summer, so it's a major blessing that he leaves so late, cuz now I can be here to see him off! I couldn't be more proud of him.

Congratulations to Cousin Andrew! My birthday is the 17 of September, so I will be sure to remember that! If he has any questions, Dad (Uncle Neil) served his mission in Peru (back when the whole country was one mission) and I know he would LOVE to talk about it and show him pictures and things.
Yay for Andrew! Bummer you barely missed good ol' Monson... but definitely cool that you were there the same time as him!
