I Want To Be a Missionary Now



To My Dear Friend Nick Crump,
Today I had the honor of hearing you speak in my ward, and boy what a crowd you drew. Never have I heard a boy speak with such conviction as you did this afternoon. YOU ARE GOING TO BE AN AMAZING MISSIONARY.



Words cannot describe what an influence you have had on my life. Growing up just down the street from you I never pictured myself ever associating with you. But as time wore on, and like it always is, life was unpredictable. Last year I had the privilege of working with you and having you as my PLT dad. You loved me and accepted me and because of you and Lexi I was really comfortable in my skin for the first time. Because of you I was able to extend myself and reach new heights in my personal life. I know I have already told you thank you many times before, but thank you again for being such an amazing leader, friend and example. You loved me for me and never made me feel like an outcast. I would not be half the person I am today if it weren't for the time we spent together last year.



Now, remember as you are going on your mission, that you are a Son of our Heavenly Father, and he loves you. You have made some great decisions in your life and I believe that with the time you have left you will continue to make great decisions. However, the devil is a cunning man and will do what ever it takes to bring you down. DON'T LET HIM! You are too great a person and we need people like you to proclaim the good word of the gospel.



Nick, I love you with all my heart and I know these next two years will be the best two years of your life. Never forget us lowly kids who are waiting for you back home. Go and Do the Work! (:



Love Maegan Kasteler (:





p.s. this is just a little motivation as you are getting ready to leave (:

Beautiful Disaster

She loves her momma's lemonade
Hates the sounds that goodbyes make
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her
She swears there's no difference between the lies and compliments
It's all the same if everybody leaves her
And every magazine tells her she's not good enough
The pictures that she sees makes her cry
She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
She's giving boys what they want
Trying to act so nonchalant
Afraid to see that she's lost her direction
She never stays the same for long
Assuming that she'll get it wrong
Perfect only in her imperfection
She's not a drama queen
She doesn't wanna feel this way
Only 17 and tired, yeah
She would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
She's just the way she is
But no one's told her that's okay
She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She would change everything for happy ever after
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
She just needs someone to take her home

A Roman Holiday

I have decided I love black and white movies

tonight I watched Roman Holiday with a good friend. It had just enough Romanticism to keep me hooked the entire time.

Here are some of my favorite Black and whites



Strangers on a Train (Alfred Hitchcock)


Roman Holiday (William Wyler)


Pshyco (Alfred Hitchcock)
