Flashback: When I Received My Call

OH man! When I got my call! What a great day! I was scared and excited all at the same time. It was awesome. Haha I was so excited I look like a total goober in all the pictures. 
My mom came up from California. My cousin Joe came up from Utah. And a ton of my friends and family came to watch in person and on google+. It was awesome.

I waited at the mailbox and watched the mail man put my call in my box. I remember he took so freakin long! I wanted to scream "HURRY UP!!! DON'T KNOW SOMETHING IMPORTANT CAME FOR ME? MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS RIGHT NOW." I didn't because obviously he didn't know that.

My best friends waited with me and I couldn't stop dancing and smiling because I was so happy.
I had to wait all day until I could open it. Strangely, I was really calm and was able to wait. I might have just been in shock. I don't know. It was an awesome day. 

I can't believe that I only have 12 days until I report! Crazy! I cannot wait to serve in Detroit!!!

The Book of Mormon Challenge!

Alright people!

A girl named Alisha Straatman that is part of the "Many are called....but few are sisters" Facebook page challenged all of us to take a picture of our Book of Mormon and post it on our instagram with the hash tag #bookofmormon 
Since a lot of the posts with that hash tag are about the play, she thought it would be a good idea for us to flood instagram with the real thing!

LET'S DO THIS!!!

I Love My Friends!

Hey Everyone! So I just want to tell you how much I am grateful for my friends. They are so wonderful, loving and supportive! I am going to miss them so much when I am gone on my mission! I don't have video of all of my friends and I don't have time to film all of them, so this will have to suffice! This video contains less than half of the people I love. Enjoy! And stay tuned this next week for a video of my family. :) I'm so excited to make that one! Love, Emma Heywood

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

It's almost midnight, but I just had to post, so here ya' go!









I love my mom so much! When I went off to college I appreciated her so much more than I ever have, but I hear that's how it usually goes. :) She is so wonderful and loving. Even if I get frustrated with her I know that she just wants the best for me. She pushes me so that I can be the best that she knows I can be. It's going to be hard to go away for 18 months and not be able to text, Skype, or call her every day. 
I love you Mommy!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

And Happy Mother's Day to all of the wonderful women in my life. I am so privileged to know and love you all! Hope you had a wonderful day. Muah!

I'm Serving a Mission!


 Hey there everybody! I am Emma Heywood and soon to be Sister Heywood! Woo Hoo! I am so excited! I will be spending 18 months in Detroit preachin' the gospel of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to those who are willing to listen. My life will be 100% dedicated to the Lord, my Heavenly Father, OUR Heavenly Father. Doesn't that just sound so wonderful?! I think it does and I can't wait! I made this video a few days ago and finally got it to work, so I actually have 33 days until I leave. CRAZY!!! Well, I hope you enjoy! My parents will keep up the blog with emails and pictures when I leave so keep following! Detroit, here I come!!! Love, Emma Heywood :) PS I will post other things before I leave for Detroit, but while I'm gone this will strictly be for my mission. Love you all! Muah!

Love,
Emma
