Deadline 2: June 19

Summer has been AMAZING these first few weeks! I spent 2 weeks in a row with my long time best friend and cousin, Brittany Bott.
Brittany is 14 and just plain awesome. I love her so much! She is hilarious, smart, pretty, and always fun to be around. Brittany and I had the chance to go to EFY this summer. While we were there in the dorms together, we not only grew closer to our Heavenly Father, but closer to each other.
Britt and I have always been very close but being together 2 weeks straight and rooming together brought us even closer. I don't know what I would have done if i wasn't going to EFY with her. We know EVERYTHING about each other and aren't embarrassed to do anything in front of each other. That's what best friends are, right?

First day of EFY in front of our room. 
Believe.Hope.Endure.
This was the theme this year, based off of the 13th Article of Faith. This was such a great theme, especially for Brittany. She is moving this summer so these 3 simple words really meant a lot to her. While at EFY I could tell that Britt was changing in a way...her testimony was growing. She was happier and always made everyone laugh. I don't think there was one person in our Company that did not like her. What's not to like?!
We decided that we were going to go to EFY every year together and I can not wait until next summer. Hopfully we see some of our really good friends from STE (Smite The Earth) next year!

These girls in the picture above are all so funny and sweet. We all became best friends 2 weeks ago at EFY. Time went by so fast! We were all sad to have to say goodbye, especially since all of them but Brittany and I lived in Arizona. I miss these girls so much and couldn't ask for any better friends. Thanks for being your great, crazy selves. I love you!

Best Company Ever! SMITE THE EARTH
Brittany Michelle Bott, this post is for you. I love you so much, don't ever change. Get ready for EFY next year!
