Maybe my house will get egged for saying this, but....I just don't see what all the hype is about Bluebell ice cream. I just don't think it's all that good. I will probably be kicked out to Texas soon... (I hope y'all still want to be my friends) :)

Oh, and I'm so excited to be Facebook friends with you, Andrea :)

Have I bored you yet with my mission experience with Blue Bell ice cream? I hope not...

As a newcomer to Texas and the mission field I made the grave mistake of saying, "I think Breyers is every bit as good as Blue Bell". My trainer winked at me and said, "Sister you will be cast out of Texas for talk like that." Well...it turns out she was right and Texans were right, too. I just had to get the right flavor of Blue Bell (my first taste was some sort of french vanilla that I didn't care for) Once I had Cookies and Cream by Blue Bell I was converted!!

That ice cream is one of the best things about Texas.
How do you make the blog pictures bigger? I don't even know how they got small.

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
