Yesterday was a day I will never forget. I received a lot of love from people wishing me a happy birthday. I loved it. I had delicious cake, icecream and cool gifts too. Not to mention it was my golden birthday. A golden birthday is when your age and date are the same. For example, I turned 23 on the 23rd. Crazy how time flies. Yesterday, I also received my mission call. I will serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the California, San Diego Mission. I report to the MTC on Sept 19th. I am so excited! Funny story time. This whole time I thought I wasn't going to California, because I was raised there half of my life. I didn't want to go to California to be honest. Let alone being next to the ocean, because I love swimming in the ocean and missionaries are not allowed to swim during their mission. So one thing I mainly learned, never say never. I got called to a mission that I thought I would never serve at. To be honest, the more I think about serving in San Diego, the more I come to realize and know that San Diego is perfect fit for me. Can't wait!

Mission Decision
As some of you may know, I will be a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints this fall. I would like to share with you how I made a decision to go on a mission.
It all started when I was in middle school. When I was living in California, we had sister missionaries over often. I loved these people. I looked up to them. But I never thought I would become a missionary. I had my eyes set on playing professional basketball or soccer. But things changed. Those missionaries asked if I ever wanted to serve a mission. I said, "Yes." Being a 12 yr old kid, of course I still had a long time even before I could serve. I had to be at least 21. Throughout my teenage years, this desire of mine grew bigger each year. I couldn't wait to turn 21 to serve. Then when I turned 21, I wanted to go on a mission, but the time didn't feel right. So I just continued with school. Throughout school, I suffered with illnesses and other things. It was very hard. Little did I know, these experiences in college would prepare me to serve a mission. By going through the hardships in college, it made me realize how important life is and how much I have a deep love for people. By loving people, it made it that much easier to make the decision of serving the Lord and His people.
If I had it my way, I would wait to go on a mission until my education was done. Then comes the next experience. I wanted to change my major from Sociology to Exercise Science. My university wouldn't let me, because of credit restrictions. I wasn't motivated and didn't like Sociology anymore, so there was no way I would finish that major. So I was looking at different schools to transfer to. I was way beyond confused of which direction to go. This whole entire time, the thought of going on a mission was coming up in my mind. But I just brushed it off, because I still wanted to finish schooling first. After a lot of thinking of praying, I felt that it is best for me to put my education on hold right now, and go on a mission and teach people about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And hopefully next Wednesday I will get the anticipated letter in the mail telling me where I will go and serve. I can't wait! :)

Learning through Life
There had been a lot of experiences throughout my lifetime that has helped me become who I am today. I will share some of these experiences, then I will share with you how these have helped my life for good. (On a side note, don't feel bad for me. These experiences have taught me so much in a good way). Okay, here we go. :)
Throughtout my childhood, I have received a lot of teasing and discrimination. I was the new girl (I moved around a lot). I was taller than everybody else (At least for the female gender). I often was teased for being part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Many people call this church, "The Mormons."
I often asked myself, "What did I do to deserve this? I don't want this. This is too hard for a kid like myself to handle. Why am I being teased and discriminated for living a good life? I just want to have a friend and be somebody's friend."
It was definately a hard thing to go through. I thought something was wrong with me. I had low self-esteem for awhile. Then came the next experience.
For those of you that know me, I loved sports ever since I was really young. I convinced my parents to sign me up for soccer. I never really played soccer before except at recess. It was a type of experience that I will never forget. At the first practice, I felt that I wasn't good as the other girls. I heard some say that I wasn't good. That only pushed me harder as a player. I first played Center-Mid, then moved to Goalie. It was the game changer for me thats for sure. Being Goalie helped me boost up my self-esteem. By playing this position, I helped my team go to the playoffs. And I was selected being one of the two goalies for the All-Star team. I was more than thrilled. One of the All Star games eventually came down to Penalty Kicks. When my coach told me he wanted me to be goalie, I was like no way. I can't do it. Then he looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Yes you can." By having a coach have faith in me changed everything. My team ended up winning that game.
High school was difficult. Going to 3 different schools was hard. I first attended high school in California. I played JV/Varsity basketball there in the 9th grade. Then in the 10th grade, my family moved to Utah. It was super hard. I basically had a culture shock. Then a year later, my family moved again to another place in Utah. It was hard being the "new girl" quite a few times.
In the late high school years and college years, I suffered a lot. The teasing never stopped. I got sick a lot to the point where I had to differ from college for awhile.
Also, in college, I was part of this Comedy Improv group called, Academy of Comedy. If you seen the TV show, "Whose Line Is It Anyways," then you know what we do.
I can go on forever, but I know these experiences gave me my life's greatest lessons.
All of these experiences have helped me and taught me so much. Here is what I got out of these experiences:
1. I learned how to stand up and believe in myself. Have faith in yourself. People often told me I wasn't capable of doing things. I am grateful they told me that, because that is what made me push myself even more. Don't let others get you down. You know that you have a lot of strength within yourself and have a lot of potential that can inspire others. :)
2. I learned that if you are being teased/bullied, it will get better. Just be patient and be believing.
3. I learned how to love ALL people. No matter who they are, where they come from or what kind of life they live. Accept people for who they are and love them anyway. Life is that much more amazing when loving people know matter what.
4. I learned to see people the way God and Christ sees them. Seeing the good in people is incredible. No bad judgment here. It breaks my heart to see other people tear themselves down or tear other people down. Not worth the pain. My wish to everybody would be to have them see how much they are worth it.
5. Meeting new people is a blessing. This is something that I got to do very often since my family moved around to different places. If you truely want to get to know somebody, just listen. Its cool to see how much we can learn from somebody.
6. I have gained a lot of compassion through suffering (illnesses). By suffering a lot, it has brought me so much perspective. Life is to be enjoyed, not endured. Live every moment, Laugh often, Love beyond measure. Tell your loved ones how much you love them. Don't assume that they already know. Don't take life for granted.
Our lives are full of happiness and sorrow. It is our choice of how we want to live it. Is your glass half empty or half full? By living our lives with the glass half full, it brings so much happiness and joy. You never know who may be watching. You may be an example for good to some person. You just never know.
With me, I learned to live life with no regret. Just learn through your happy times and sad times. People often ask me what I would change about my past. As I come to think of it, I wouldn't change a thing. I wouldn't have it any other way. I am grateful for my different experiences and opportunities, because I learn so much. I am grateful for trials, not because it is desirable. Only because it taught me to love people unconditionally.
*I hope you got something out of this post. Please feel free to comment if you like. Much love. :)

My Incredible Friends
I thought I would make a blogpost dedicated to those friends who have made a real impact in my life. I will add more people to the list later. Its getting late. And yes, majority of these people are those I met at college.
These guys are all my brothers. They are the ones that saved me from insanity in college. From ping pong tournaments to pool tournaments will always be a highlight memory with these guys. When you hang out with these guys, you are guarenteed to have a good time and laugh until your ribs hurt. I love these guys very much!
Ana is one of my great friends. I have known her since I was a Junior in High school. When she is around, be prepared for a lot of laughter and a night of craziness and adventures. I love her so much.
Lindie is a bundle full of sunshine. She is my little sister that I never had. We have so much fun together and be prepared for our next epic foreign accent days..hehe.
Laura (on the right) is way awesome. You never know what she will say which will make you laugh histerically. I love this girl to pieces.
Sarah is way way way awesome. She has taught me so much in life. She taught me how to be positive in every possible way. She is one of the happiest people I know. She is very loving and caring and she will let you know that you are loved too. I cannot thank her enough of how much she has inspired me to become the best person I can be. When I am around her, I can't help but put a smile on my face because she is just that amazing person and friend that everybody would want. Love you Sarah.
Mayra and Kim are some of my faves. I love them to death. They always make me laugh. We all share love for theatre and music all the way back to the 6th grade. Wow, time sure does fly. I can't thank them enough for being such great people. Love you girls.

Joys in Life
Here are some things that simply bring joy into my life.
1. Sunrises and Sunsets. Something about these just put me in another world. Most beautiful site ever.
2. The ocean. For those that know me, I am in love with the beach and the ocean. Its my paradise.
3. Family and friends. I am so grateful for them. They are the ones that helped me become who I am today. I can't thank them enough. I love them dearly.
4. Church. I love going to church and be uplifted. Sabbath day is my favorite day of the week.
5. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They are always there for me.
6. Serving others. Nothing like the feeling you get when you are selfless and serve those around you.
7. Seeing other people happy. Nothing makes me more hapy than seeing other people happy.
8. Laughter and Smiling. A smile is a curve that sets everything straight!
9. People that inspire me to become a better person. I.e: The USWNT team. Amazing people.
10. The Beauty of this earth. This world is just beautiful with all the nature.
11. Having shelter and clothing.
12. Learning about people and their different walks of life. This has taught me to love and accept people for who they are. I'm grateful I have the habit of always seeking the good in people. Only use good judgment! :)
13. I love it when I feel loved by other people.

From the Heart
A lot of things are going through my mind right now. A heart full of love and gratitude towards those around me. Things have changed in my life so quickly and I have recognized so much support from those I love. This means a lot to me. I have come to recognize that I am loved more than I thought. Also, my love for people has grown so much. Almost to the point of tears of joy, because its just an amazing and heart-warming feeling. I love everybody no matter who they are. I believe everybody should be loved. I want the best for others. I want them to be happy. I want them to succeed. I want to help them out in any way I can. Living the life of loving others and serving them is the best life for me. To those who are reading this, remember you are loved always.
"Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring"
Remember to Live every moment, Laugh often, Love beyond measure.
Love,
Laurel Greathouse

Realizing
In the past of couple of weeks, I have realized many things. I realized that things may not work out the way you planned. I was petitioning to change my major at BYU-Idaho from Sociology to Exercise Science. Since they are super strict about the credit limit, they rejected my petition. Then they changed my major to General Studies without me knowing. So if I decided to stay at BYUI, all I could do is University studies or general studies. So therefore, I wouldn't have a "real" major anymore. So I decided to think about schools that I can transfer to. I thought about UVU or somewhere else out of state. But I couldn't make a decision. I was so confused that I literally lost it and thought my head was going to explode. It was definatly a time of trial and trying to figure things out. After giving much thought and prayer, I finally realized what the next chapter in my life supposed be. I feel that it is right to put my education on hold and to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It felt so right. I was so happy that I finally received direction in my life. I was so happy, that it brought tears of joy. :D I am so happy! I know the mission will be hard, but so worth it and rewarding. I know that this is the direction that God wants me to go, so I am willing to do His will. I'm working on the mission papers right now, and should be done very soon. I am trying to wait patiently to find out I will be sent in the world. I have never been so happy in my life. I know this will be the experience of a lifetime. :) Love you all.

Life Experiences
1. Tell about the best day of your life. Daddy-daughter date to Angels/Red Sox game. Got the tix for my 13th bday and the Angels won which made it amazing.
2. Who has made the biggest impact in your life, and why? My dad. He knows me best and we share a special relationship that is undescribable. We also share a deep love for sports and can go on for hours watching games and talking about them. I love him very much.
3. Worst injury you got, and how you got it. Probably a sprained hamstring. I injured it playing soccer in high school and had a basketball game later. Talk about bad timing.
4. The most heartbroken you have been, tell the story. When I had friends that betrayed me for no particular reason.
5. A random funny story. I slipped on ice right in front of a moving car...lol
6. Where have you traveled? California, Oregon, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and Nevada. Yeah I know, I need to venture elsewhere. I'm working on it.
7. Have you told anyone your deepest secret? If so, what was their reaction? Only my family and closest friends know. They had the "oh, thats cool" kind of look.
8. Tell about an adventure you have had. Tubing down the Oneida River with friends and a rope snapped on my neck and I fell down a dip with a huge rock. Luckily I stayed on the tube or else I wouldn't be here alive.
9. What were you like as a child? I was the kid full of spunk and adeventure. I hated girlie things. I liked to play in the dirt and catch bugs and worms then chase other girls with them in my hands..lol. I didn't care what people thought about me. I was the tomboy in the family. Just ask my family! ;)
10. The best thing that has ever happened to you? College for sure. Making the Varsity Basketball team my freshman year in high school too.

Joy In the Journey
The phrase, "Joy in the Journey" has been going through my mind a lot lately. We all face hardships and trials in our lives. Yes, our trials and hardships can be very hard to go through. It is never easy. I learned by finding Joy in the Journey in our lives can make our time through trials much easier. And I have the United States Women's National Soccer Team (USWNT) for teaching me to bring joy in the journey in my life.
This amazing group of women are an answer to my prayers. They are the ones that taught me to have joy throughout life no matter what happens. They have so much love and respect for each other on and off the field. As well to their fans. This is why I LOVE them so much. Through their happy times, they stuck together. Through their sad times, they stuck together and showed me to always smile no matter what the situation may be. Truly thankful! :)
Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Trials in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important—and what is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. that we may adapt to the changes in our lives, that we may realize what is most important, that we may express our gratitude always and thus find joy in the journey. Remember to LIVE LAUGH LOVE.
Love,
Laurel G.

There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Trials in our lives come regardless of our circumstances. We must deal with them the best we can. But we should not let them get in the way of what is most important—and what is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. that we may adapt to the changes in our lives, that we may realize what is most important, that we may express our gratitude always and thus find joy in the journey. Remember to LIVE LAUGH LOVE.
Love,
Laurel G.
