Personal Progress Award!!

Oh my gosh...So today in church I got rewarded for finishing my Personal Progress. I had so many people congratulate me on finishing my Personal Progress. Sister Thee and my mom gave me a lei during sacrament.My dad was the one that presented me with the award. As I was going to class Sister Reid gave me a big hug and told me how proud she was of me and how I am such a good example. Then Sister Ah Sue said that I was young to get my personal progress and that I got it before any of her daughters. After Sunday school class I went to Young Women's and all of the Young Women gave me a lei and a big hug. Eliza wasn't able to make it so she gave Hannah a gift to give to me. Before I knew it, it felt like there was a bunch of books on my shoulders and I was going to tip over. Then my mom and dad talked about how wonderful I am and how much of an example I am to my brothers and parents. My dad talked first because my mom was trying not to cry. As my mom was speaking she was still crying I think it was because she was talking about Papa. Or because she was proud of me. I was the first one to get my personal Progress passed of this year. My mom heard some of the beehives saying that they are going to try and complete their personal progress during their first year of Mia Maids. Walking home in the wind was the hardest. I had my scriptures, my dads scriptures, my gift, the box that my necklace came in, and some paper. I was trying to walk straight with out hitting anything or anyone every now and then my leis would start to fall of of my head. After all of that I was so tired. My cousins came over at about four. My auntie took my picture because Sister thee wanted it. I looked like I just graduated college or something. After I went to "turtle beach" with our visitors. We watched the sunset and saw a lot of turtles in the water. Then we came home and had beef stew, with some bread from the Nemrows, with pasta salad, rice,and pineapple. Then my friends Rebbecca and Becca Came over and gave me a plate full of cake and a card that said congratulation's we are so proud of you. I had a great day today and I am glad that it is over after all I can only handle so much attention from everyone. MiKKa or what ever I put last time.
