Blast from the Past

It's been forever since I've blogged and blah blah blah but I'm ready to be committed again. Well at least for the rest of the summer. And what just happened to me is way too cool to not blog about it. Okay so I signed onto Facebook this morning to one new message. Here's the message...

okay so you probably dont remember me but as you can tell from my fb profile im Adan Banda haha ring a bell? i was in your first grade class Mrs Gaches hahah
yes i realize it was a long time ago, but little do you know a certain memory resounds through my mind from that time. it may sound silly and insignificant but when we were at recess one day at KDN i said some things to you that were not particularly what a "whatever-old" should say. Being newly baptized into the LDS church i didnt realize the significance, i was a rude nasty little kid...
you said something i never have forgotten,
"you should probably be a better example of the church... and be a better Mormon."
That day stood out to me more than ever and now I will be serving a mission for the church. ive come a long way from that little kid.
I depart next wednesday for the Paraguay Asuncion North Mission.
Thank you for putting me in my place that day. You dont even know how much i've wanted to do better from that day forward.
Thank you

Isn't that the coolest thing ever?! Who would have ever guessed that sassy little six year old Mallory could have influenced someone's life forever. I am glad that I was a good enough kid to set the example even though I don't consciously remember setting it. I am grateful that I had parents to teach me what it meant to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at such a young age. I guess what they tell you is true, you never know when someone is watching you.

I promise a 4th of July blog with photos will be up in the next few days.
