88 Easy Hairstyles for Sister Missionaries

Hey! I don't know about you, but I'm not super creative when it comes to hairstyles. So I cheat and use Pinterest and Youtube all the time. Seriously. I really love Pinterest.

While on my mission, I won't have access to Pinterest or Youtube. So.... I made a book of 88 different hairstyles! I mean, I could have done 90 or something, but 88 sounded good enough I guess...

All of the hairstyles are quick and easy. Nothing hard or complicated here! There are also useful hair tips and hacks in there too.

I really wanted to share this with you guys, so here is how to make your own Sister Missionary Hairstyles Book! It's super easy! All you really need to do is cut and glue, I've done everything else for you :)

Stuff you need:

-Scissors

-Gluestick

-Spiral-bound notebook

-Printed hairstyles pages

-Tabs for organization (if you want to be organized)

First, you're gonna want to print all the hairstyles. Click here to print them! In the top right-hand corner there is printer button. Make sure you print them portrait style, and not landscape. Otherwise, the pictures will get all messed up. Also, when I printed mine, to save on ink, I changed my printing properties settings. There are the options of best, better, and draft. I clicked on "draft" for my pictures. It doesn't use as much ink, but you can still see the pictures clearly.

After you've printed the pictures, you can start cutting and gluing! I've organized the pictures into different categories for you. So that way, if you wake up feeling like you want to braid your hair, but can't decide what kind of braid you want, boom! You can flip to the braids section and make your choice! Unfortunately, I didn't think of organizing mine into categories until I had already glued all the pictures in. So... This is a nice perk for you to have!

Also, I recommend using a spiral-bound notebook. Because that way, your book will lay flat when opened. I would have a hard time doing my hair while holding a book open. I just used an old notebook that I already had. It's a really good size, not too small or too big.

Anyways, that should be it! It's pretty self-explanatory. So have fun and enjoy your new hairstyles book! Also, if you want to save this post for later, you can save it on your Pinterest! There is a Pinterest button at the bottom of this post for your convenience :)

Life is kinda hard...

Life is hard. Really hard, actually. There are countless disappointments, struggles, and unpleasant trials in this life. There are so many things that seem unfair. You didn't do anything to deserve what's happening to you. You were just going along in life, and bam! Your brother is sick in the hospital all of the sudden. That pregnancy test reads negative. Again, for the sixth time. You failed that big test, even though you studied your guts out. But I promise that things do, and will, get better. But even then, when things do get better, it will still probably hurt. Life hurts. Life is uncomfortable. That's just the way it goes.

My senior year in high school, I got pretty sick. I was having horrible stomach pains that would literally knock me down to the floor. It was so very painful. There were times when I couldn't move. My mom would find me crying on the floor. I was also always tired. As soon as I got home from school, I would sleep for a few hours. From January-May 2014 I hadn't completed a full week of school. I was gone at least one day a week. Those months were full of doctors appointments, tests, and tears. I felt horrible that my medical expenses had cause my parents to reach their insurance deductible within a few months. I became an expensive burden. I felt really guilty.

That school year, my schedule was very full. All of my classes were either AP or concurrent enrollment with Weber State. I was also on a ballroom dance formation team. During those months, I literally just about dropped everything. I dropped many classes, which caused me to forfeit college scholarships that I could have had. I missed dance practices and performances, and only showed up for the year-end recital. I was on the brink of failure.To be honest, I barely graduated high school. If it wasn't for my wonderful mother, I would not have graduated. Even though I was sick, she woke me up, and made me do my work.

I couldn't see past my current situation. It was really hard. They never did find out what was wrong. But for whatever reason, I slowly got better. I would never have guessed that one day I would have accomplished what I have.

If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it.

The hard... is what makes it great."

Life is hard. But it gets better. Please don't lose hope. You can do it! I believe in you! This is not the end. I learned a lot during that time. We are here on this earth to learn and to grow. And as unpleasant as it sounds, how can we grow if we are not tested by life's trials and hardships? So push through and endure life's struggles. I advise you to pray to the Lord. He will listen. He loves you. Things may not, and probably will not, turn out how you would like them to. But I have comfort in knowing that Heavenly Father know what's best for me, and for you, and for everyone on this earth. He is our father. He can see past my current struggles. He loves me. He loves me enough to let me have trials and hardships. For He knows that that is the only way I can grow and learn. I am so thankful that he gave the world His son, Jesus Christ. Christ suffered and died for our sins and sorrows so that we don't have to be alone. We are never alone. Christ has experience our sorrows so that He can relate to each of us individually. He died for you.

"In the gospel of Jesus Christ you 

have help from both sides of the

veil, you must never forget that.

When disappointment and discouragement

strike--and they will--you remember

and never forget that if our eyes could be

opened we would see horses and chariots

of fire as far as the eye can see

riding at reckless speed to come to our

protection. They will always be there,

these armies of heaven, in defense

of Abraham's seed."

Please don't give up. Giving up is not worth it. I plead with you to keep pushing forward. Keep moving. Even if you can only take one step right now, take it. It's one step forward. Do not retreat. You can do it! I have faith in you. Everything will be okay. I promise.

I'M GOING ON A MISSION!!

Guess what! I've decided to serve an LDS Mission! As a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, I will be giving up 18 months of my life to serve and teach people somewhere around the world. I will be teaching people about Christ and helping them to find true happiness.

I know that gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true, and I can't wait to share that knowledge with others. It brings me so much happiness and peace in a world that is full of so much chaos and confusion. I love the feelings of comfort and happiness I have by being a member of the Church. I am so excited to be dedicating the next year and a half of my life to the Lord!

I will keep you all updated on this next adventure in my life! If you would like to learn more about what I will be doing and why, you can go here.

Best day ever!

Yesterday I was blessed with the opportunity to go through the Lord's Temple. It was the best day ever! Hands down! I've never felt so happy and at peace before.

In Mormon Temples, Church members participate in ordinances designed to unite their families together forever and help them return to God. By receiving temple ordinances, we can be with our families forever even after death. We know that we will be with family members who have passed on again. If you have any questions at all, feel free to send me a message over facebook by clicking here  or you can visit this website.

I'm so thankful that I have a temple so near my home. I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to make covenants with the Lord in his House. It has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I highly encourage everyone to be worthy to enter the temple. If you currently are not worthy, start the process to get things in order to become worthy. I promise you that it will be one of the best things you have ever done. You won't regret it.

"Keep trying. 

Keep trusting. 

Keep believing. 

Keep growing.

Heaven is cheering you on today, 

tomorrow and forever."
