so, i know that it has been a while since i have "blogged", but i am pretty sure you all survived without hearing from me. i decided i need to get better at this whole blogging thing seeing as i will be leaving soon and for some it is the only way they will really have any clue what is going on in my life. i suppose i will just write about today and let you guess at what exciting things you think i have been up to since i last wrote. today was sunday. haha. i got up all early, (810), and got ready for church. i was actually getting ready to go to zeke clemmons farewell talk. i got up, got ready, and was on my way. i headed over to pick up jayce, he decided he wanted to go with me, i think this is because a certain girly is in the ward we were going to, but i could be wrong, only im not, haha. i also called my friend tessie to tell her that i would meet her at the church, she had told me she wanted to come. we got to the church, sat down, and sacrament meeting started. tessie showed up right then! she sat down. sacrament meeting was good, zekes talk was really good. he is the only member in his family and a lot of them came to hear him talk, so he pretty much just gave the first lesson a missionary gives to an investigator. he did a great job. then some older lady talked, and i wont lie, i wasnt paying much attention because there was an adorable little curly haired boy sitting in front of me, (and yes, he was LITTLE, as in a baby, i wasnt just trying to check out good lookin people or anything), and so i spent most of the second half of sacrament making faces at him, and playing with him. it was fun. then sacrament meeting was over. tessie said hi to zeke and then was on her way. i told eric urry i thought he was either going to end up in idaho or florida on his mission, but im really not sure where i think he will go. then jayce and i left. i went to my parents house. had some cheetos, got some oil, went home, took a quick nap with my puppy. then caitlyn, christy and i headed off to church! christy was excited because she hasnt been in a while. i was excited because i had to miss last week because my puppy was sick. and so we went, all excited to church. well ... sacrament meeting no sooner began when christy realized she has not taken her afternoon pills. for everyones information, her pills are very important pills, and skipping them is very dangerous. so we waited, took the sacrament, and then we all went home real quick to get the pill situation taken care of. once we got home we realized that the pull situation was much bigger than we had realized, it turned out after her afternoon pills she was out of pills, and needed to go get her perscription filled. so we headed off to frys. and they filled them ... except for one, which was the one she really needed to take. so we had many adventures trying to get these pills. finally, we found out that we could take her to upc and they would most likely give her the pills, just for tonight, there. so off we went, to phoenix. we got to upc and had to sit around while christy got everything taken care of, it wasnt overly exciting, but it wasnt as bad as previous visits had been. well, she got her pill and we took off. then i went to my parents house for dinner, hawaiian haystacks. and then we had some cake, i came home, did some stuff online and voila!, here i am. anyways, caitlyn and i decided that one good thing did come out of the pill situation, i now have a very nice picture on my phone of one quite good looking pmt! haha. anyways, have a good night and remember ... prayer is an amazing and wonderful gift, given to us by a loving Heavenly Father. if we go to Him, He will answer all of our questions, and help us in all of our trials, struggles, and sorrows.
scripture of the day: Joseph Smith History 1: 17, 25
" ... When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other - This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him! ... So it was with me.I had actually seen a light, and in the midst of that light I saw two Personages, and they did in reality speak to me; and though I was hated and persecuted for saying that I has seen a vision, yet it was true; and while they were persecuting me, reviling me, and speaking all manner of evil against me falsely for so saying, I was led to say in my heart: why persecute me for telling the truth? I have actually seen a vision; and who am I that I can withstand God, or why does the world think to make me deny what I have actually seen? For I had seen a vision; I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it ..."
today i am thankful for:
* a home teacher that worries and cares about my roommates and me.
* a car and everything that goes with having a car so that i can get around to places that i need to be.
* a family that still knows the importance of having dinner together, even though it is getting harder and harder to fit everyone at the dinner table.
* the restoration of Gods true church, and my knowledge and understanding that it is the one and only true church and that by living its teachings and principles i will be able to return to my loving Heavenly Father one day, to live for eternity with the people i love most.
* my puppy, Poky, and the time that i have been given with her. she makes my life better and happier. she is my constant joy. for her ability to love me unconditionally, even though im not always sure i deserve it.
* friends who make me feel important and loved by simply smiling and waving at me every time i see them.
<3.
