This is Elder Clasen who used to be over us Young Missionaries. He was at the Mission Reunion on April 1st it was good to see him and his wife down here again. I miss them a lot. They are cool. I had to get pictures of them before they left to go back home again to Washington. They are the greatest people in the world. He was being funny as usual it was funny to laugh at him and to take the picture of him doing this. I couldn't stop laughing after I took that picture. I hope that you guys enjoy the picture of Elder Clasen. I will be putting more pictures up here hopefully later on next week so enjoy the pics.
This is Sister Ensley, Elder Maynes, Me (Sis Compton), Sister Bechtol, Elder Eberhard in the back office of the Main floor at our zone party. We were having a blast as you can tell. We are always having a blast together in my zone. We are always laughing and having fun. It's going to be weird to leave in a few weeks. I'm really going to miss it and miss everyone here that I have gotten to know for the past year and a half. It's been a great experience for me to be here on a mission and to be able to serve and help people find their ancestors. I have loved every minute of it. I can't believe that I am almost done it's gone by so fast. It's crazy. Enjoy the picture!!!!!!!
This is me with Elder & Sister Palmer who are my zone leaders well until Monday and then we will have Elder & Sister Ricks starting Monday. And then me and the Palmers will be going home soon in about 2 weeks or so. It's going to be really weird to leave the mission but I know that I need to move on and get on with my life. It's been a great experience for me for the past year and a half. I'm really grateful that I came here on my mission and that I got to meet a lot of cool people and that I got to meet my companions too all of them. I am really going to miss them when we both leave. But we will be keeping in touch probably after we leave the end of the month. I know that we will stay in touch after we leave. I hope that you enjoy this picture of me and the Palmers.
This is Elder Cowdell and Elder Utai at the Zone Party that we had on April 15th for the April birthdays and everyone that is leaving this month. I had to get pictures of everyone before I leave too this month. I'm going to try and get pictures of everyone in my zone before I leave this month. They are of course being themselves and making funny faces like they always do. Sorry that it's been a long time since I have updated this I've been busy and I keep forgetting too. So I will do better with it until I leave and then I will have another blog after my mission. I hope that you all enjoy the new pictures of everyone that I put on here this week. I can't believe that I will be leaving soon. It's gone by so fast. It's crazy.

This is the Logan Temple with some snow on the ground by it. I really like this picture of the Logan Temple. I have always liked the Logan Temple. I hope that I will be able to get married in the temple some day too the right one and at the right time and the right place. It's a blessing to be able to go to the temple everyday and do work for our ancestors that have passed on before us and never had the opportunity to learn the gospel while they were on the earth. It's been great to be able to go and do my ancestors work in the Salt Lake Temple for those that have passed on before me. Enjoy!!!!!!!!
This is Elder Utai and Sister Hoffman on the Information Desk in the library. They were being cute and funny while they were on there together. They are always like that when they are together. Elder Utai doesn't always have that look on his face it's just because his companion Elder Cowdell was walking behind me when I was taking the picture and I didn't know it until after and that's why Elder Utai looks like that is because of his companion Elder Cowdell. And Sister Hoffman and I will be leaving together in April on the same day on April 30th. They are fun to be around. I am going to miss them when I leave in April. It's going to be weird when I leave but I have had a blast while I have been here for the past year and a half. I've had my share of trials and pains and happy times too and I have had a blast helping the people that I have helped while I have been here. I've gained a stronger testimony too since I've been here. Enjoy the pic of Elder Utai and Sister Hoffman!!!!
This is my new gift that I got from one of my friends back home for a late birthday present that she wanted to give me last year for my birthday. I got it in the mail yesterday it's big but of course I like it because it's pink. I have the nickname of Pinky on my mission so everyone knows that I like pink. I get called Sister Pink too which is good but other than that life is going great down here on my mission. it' getting closer to when I go home but I have stopped counting the weeks so yea other than that it's going great. I have made tons of friends down here on my mission too which is great and tons of fun to get to know people down here. But anyway here is my new pink bag that I will be using. Enjoy!!!! I will be putting more pics on here not just this one, don't worry. Enjoy!!!!!

In this picture is Ashley Taylor and Me at the Finger Food Farewell on Sunday February 14th. Elder Newbold took the picture of us together and then he sent it to me via email today. I am glad that he gave it to me. It's a really good picture of Ash and I. As you can tell I am in pink of course. It was a blast to have Ash down here for a week. I can't wait to see her again in April. It will be so much fun to see her again and this time she will be down here to stay. Anyway I hope that you enjoy the picture of Ash and I together again as usual. We are the best of friends and always will be the best of friends. Enjoy!!!!!! Until next week!!!

In this picture is me at the plaza hotel where Ash was staying. Sister Bohnstedt was having fun with my camera taking pictures of everyone and so we were all posing for the camera for a couple of pictures. It was tons of fun taking pictures of everyone at the hotel that was there. It will be even more fun when Ash is down here to stay in April for school. It's great to have her down here when she is down here for a while. We are always having fun when she is down here. We are always laughing and having fun we always have fun when she is down here. It's great fun to have her down here for a while. I love it. I just can't wait to have her back down here in April. I will have more pictures up here next week hopefully. I have another blog but it's going to have anything on it until after my mission is over in April. But for now it's just this one. I will let everyone know what it is when I get home from the mission in April. Enjoy!!!!!!!!
In this picture there is: Sister Compton (Me), Sister Anderson, Ashley Taylor hanging out at the Plaza hotel where Ash was staying for a week while in Utah visiting. We were over there almost every night after work hanging out with her until about 9:15 then we had to head back to our apartment before 9:30. We had a party every night. We had chips and dip and pop and oreos and we even had burping contests. Which was tons of fun to do in the hotel room. I can't wait til Ash comes down here to Utah to stay for school in April hopefully. I hope that you all enjoy the pictures on here this week. I won't be updating this on my P-day tomorrow. That's why I am doing it right now so that I will have one less thing to do on P-day. Enjoy!!!!
In this picture is: Elder and Sister Burress, Elder Maynes, Elder and Sister Simmons, Elder and Sister Reynolds, Elder and Sister Davis, Sister Carlson all at Chuck-A-Rama for our group activity. We had a blast over there. It will probably be the last time we are all together as a group before some people leave in February and March and then the rest of us leave in April except for some like Elder Maynes, and Elder and Sister Reynolds. They leave later this year. As you can tell we are all having fun together like always. We were all laughing and having fun as always. Enjoy!
This is Elder and Sister Lewis with Sister Sweetland and we are at Chuck-A-Rama for our February Group Activity. The Sweetland's leave the end of this month to go back home to Oregon. I am really going to miss them when they leave. They are really cool people. We had tons of fun going to Chuck-A-Rama for dinner that night. And my new companion Sister Bohnstedt came with me so that I wouldn't be the only young sister there. It was great fun. I think that we had everyone there that is still here in our group. It was a blast. I don't know what we are going to be doing for our next month's activity before the Davis's leave the end of March. Enjoy the pictures that I put on here this time. Enjoy!!!

This is Sister's Taylor & Compton in our apartment before Taylor left having a good time and goofing around as always. We were always like that at our apartment. We like goofing off in our apartment when nobody is watching. We like being silly. We are inseparable and we will always be inseparable even if we aren't together 24/7 anymore. But when she comes down here in April to go to school we will be hanging out together alot probably. I can't wait to see her again. And it will be so much fun to hang out again like we used too when she was here. We were companions for 11 months and that's the longest companion that I've had and will ever have on my mission. I have only had 3 companions and the longest one was Taylor. The shortest one was Elkins which was only about 3 weeks or so. Enjoy the pics.
This is my November group that came in with me in 2008. We went to the Humanitarian Center for our activity for January and then we went out for ice cream afterwards. It was tons of fun. We had a blast. In the picture there are: President and Sister Hatch, Sister and Elder Davis, Sister Compton, Sister Simmons and Elder Simmons, Elder and Sister Lewis, Elder Maynes, Elder and Sister Palmer, Elder Sweetland, Elder and Sister Burress, Elder and Sister Oshima. We had 20 people there it was good. I hope that you enjoy the pics. I learned alot from the Humanitarian Center. I'm glad that I went.
This is Sisters Compton, Drake, Bohnstedt with Elders Barry, Thompson for the US/CAN zone social for January. It was tons of fun to go to it but it would have been nicer if someone was there. And Sister Bohnstedt had her eyes shut in the picture of course. She doesn't like pictures. Oh well. I hope that you enjoy the pictures that I put on here this week. I hope that I will continue to update this until I leave in 3 months from today. It's gone by so fast. It's crazy. But I have enjoyed it since I've been here for over a year and a half. Well enjoy the pictures!

In this picture are: Elder Allred, Bergmark, Watkins, Sessions, Sisters Compton, Elkins, Kohler, Evans, Bohnstedt, Anderson, and of course Taylor in front being goofy as usual during her "photo shoot" as we called it. We planned a party for her before she left the mission in October 2009. We had a blast at the party. We had chaperones too and they were Elder and Sister Kohler. We were in the 3rd floor lunch room cuz we had some food there too which was chips and dip from Sister Hoffman and cookies from Elder and Sister Kohler. We had a blast! I am glad that we decided to throw the party for her. You can tell that we are all crazy but it's better that way I guess. We are all weird sometimes. Enjoy!!!!
This is Eclipse Singers at our church house on a Sunday night after they did a Fireside that night. We got invited to go to it instead of going to our Down town Conference that night. So it was a lot of fun going to it and hearing them sing that night at our church house. They are really good singers too. I am glad that I got to go to hear them perform. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity too which was really good. I hope that you guys enjoy the pictures that I put on here. I will be putting more pictures on here too I just have to find some more to put on here first. Enjoy Eclipse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is me and my family at my Mission Farewell in October of 2008. My grandma sent them to me via email. And so I thought that I would save them on my flash drive so that I can have them. In this picture are from left to right: Grandma Croft, Josh (brother), Mom, Dad, Me, Whit (sister). Yes I am the one of the shortest in my family. I know and I am the oldest too how sad is that. I used to be one of the tallest before my brother grew and I stopped growing. This was taken at my church outside by the pavilion after Sacrament meeting. It was a blast being with my family and friends that were there for my farewell that day. And when I get home I will have more people at my homecoming than I did for my farewell. It will be tons of fun to have some of my friends that I have made here on the mission be at my homecoming talk. Enjoy the pictures!!!!

This is my grandma's dog Chazz that she got from my uncle which is her son. We were over there for Christmas Eve dinner when I got home. That is my dad holding Chazz. And that was the first time that I have met Chazz and when I got there he was running to me and he is really small too. And he is really funny too. His eyes look evil but they aren't believe me. He is the cutest thing except for my own dog Louie back home. I think that my dog is cuter but my grandma's dog is also cute too. He is always running around too which is really funny. Enjoy my grandma's dog Chazz.
This is my little dog at home his name is Louie. He was being cute when I was home for Christmas in 2009. He was laying down by my mom on the couch and playing with his bone that we gave him for Christmas in 2008. He just loves that bone that we gave him. He is always playing with it and having us throw it down the hall for him to play fetch with him it's so much fun playing with him when I am home but it will be better when I am home for good in April when I get done with the mission. I will get to see him everyday and not just every couple of months when I go home. He is the cutest dog in the world. He will be 2 years old in April too. I can't believe it. But he is still cute no matter what. Enjoy the picture of my cute dog Louie.
This is before Sister Taylor left. We were all in the hallway of West Temple Apartments and wanted to get a picture taken with Taylor before she left. And in this picture is Elder Sessions, Sister Compton, Elder Newbold, Elder Squires, Elder Baird, Sister Elkins, Sister Taylor in front of course. Me of course doing the shoot me sign that I love to do all the time. I hope that you all enjoy the pictures on here. I will be putting more on here don't worry. I just thought that I would put this up here. Enjoy!!!!!
This is us Sisters with my first companion Ashley Taylor when she was down here in Salt Lake for a week in December of 2009. There is Sister Anderson, Bohnstedt, Compton, Drake and Ashley Taylor. We went to Gateway to get some food with Taylor that night. It was really fun to hang out with Ash that week while she was here. I have really missed her alot. She will be coming down here in April to go to school at LDS Business College and I go home in April too. I can't wait to see her again in April and hopefully in February if she comes down. Enjoy the picture of us Sisters hanging out and having fun.

This is the Sister Missionaries with Eclipse at our Stake Center when they did a Fireside that we were invited to. It was really fun, it was on December 13, 2009 because Ashley Taylor was down here that week and she came with us. Which was really fun. We even got our own little concert in the foyer that night too after the fireside was over. And we all had pictures with them too which was really cool. Enjoy the picture of us Sister's with Eclipse!!!!!!!! That was a once in a life time experience for us. I am glad that I was there for it.
