My parents are here with me in hawaii and I am LOVING it! As we drove by I said quietly I have always wanted to take pictures there.... My mom ( the incredible thoughtful mother that she is ) said, " Devin turn around"! we immediately went to this place and took a few fun pictures! Here is one of my favorites :)

Kayaking with the Girls

The Amazing Mandie Rudd

This is my dear Friend Mandie Rudd. If you have not been blessed by her presence I hope that you get that chance. Mandie is one of the most amazing girls that I know. She is SUCH an incredible example to everyone around her. She knows EXACTLY what to say to put a smile on your face :) She is THE BEST listener EVER! She will sit there patiently listening to what ever story I have to tell her even if I have previously told here the story a million times :) I have really enjoyed getting to know Mandie throughout these 6 blessed months here in Laie Hawaii. I knew we were meant to be friends right off the bat! Mandie and I just Clicked ( Two peas in a pod) I guess you could say :) The first day that we met she hopped in a Van that I was in, we were both going to a surprize party for our friend. She introduced herself and right away I knew that we would be friends! We gravitated towards eachother like Magnents! The first day that we hung out someone asked if we were sisters and it went on from there having many instances . ha Mandie and I went to food fest last week and we were asked SEVEN times if we were sisters or twins. ha one guy didnt believe and made us show him or I.D Cards :) I am really going to miss this girl. She has been such a influence for the good. Mandie is Patient, kind, caring, considerate and SO much more! She truly cares about everyone that she comes in contact with and always wants to know their stories. She always listens to what people have to say and wants to know more about them. She has been a tremendous part of my life and I know always will be. Mandie Rudd I love you and am going to miss you! Thank you for everything that you have done for me! Youre amazing! Love your soul sister ~ Kaitlin 

Scripture reading at the temple :)

Sundays are my favorite day of the week! I love going to church and feeling the spirit that is present there. Today we had a wonderful lesson on good affective scripture study! We learned ways to relate to the scriptures and apply them into our daily lives. It was a great lesson and I learned a lot. After church I decided that I needed to go to the temple and read my scriptures. What a better place than the temple. There are no distractions such as electronics, other people…etc. All there was was the beautiful temple, my scriptures and my journal. It was such an amazing experience to sit there and feel of god's love that he had for me. I read in the book of Mormon first nephi chapter 10. It really is amazing how much you can learn from the scriptures if you have the right spirit and set of mind. I am so thankful that I have them in my life. They are an amazing tool and can unlock the power of heaven. A quotes that I absolutely loved from the lesson was this," I sometimes think that one of the best kept secrets of the kingdom is that the scriptures open the door to the receipt of revelation" McConkie." I love the scriptures and all that we can learn from them! I am so blessed! I love this church!

ULTIMATE!!!

Today was Ultimate Frisbee Day in " Fitness for Living", and me being the teachers aid of course meant that I taught the class :) ha Sister Chunn was not there in class today so I took over!! lol I ran to campus and made it there JUST in time! I then grabbed the equipment and headed to the little over to the old gym and got everything set up. As the students started piling in I took attendance. We first started with a Warm up lap! Then I did dynamic stretching with them.After that I split them up into partners and had them practice passing the Frisbee and then we made it a competition. The goal was to see who threw the Frisbee back and forth the farthest without dropping it!  After that I split them up into two groups and had one team put blue pennys on! Then let the game begin! They played Ultimate Frisbee for about a Half an hour! I just sat and watched :) I felt like a Physical Educator already! Well I would have to say that the Class was a Success! YAY for teaching!!
