Hey yal,
So it was amazingly wet this week haha we got drenched all day everyday
basically. but it was so good. I decided I didn't care to stay semi dry and
went through 4inch deep puddles as fast as I could and it was awesome! but I was
so cold after that. Me and Sonenstahl have become wussies to the cold now. but
its ok well get back into it. so much fun though I love it!
Yes the Fijian made her plane and should get back tomorrow to a brand new
apartment.
Best part of the week! Went to the temple today like 4 hrs ago and oh man
it was the best! I went asking about college as my big question and boom I feel
I've gotten my answers or at least some push in the right direction because after
I got out the hermana's we rode down with..... one went to BYU-H and told me I better
apply cause all the poly friends I've made out here are going there and it is
cheap and she said I would just fit in. Which if I can get in would be as cheap
as BYU Provo.... and she said the classes are way easier cause English is a 2nd
language basically soooooooo I could actually do good in grammer and English
classes for once! heck yes!! So I'm going to apply there and school then doesn't
start til September. Plus president also said if me and E. Jackson room at USU
he would help with $$ for a apartment and vehicles. so I'm still tryin to work
out that whole thing and will be calling him this week and meeting with him the
13th to talk about it. So hopefully he will help but the overwhelming answer I
got in the temple was don't rush the Lord. And that I need to be patient and be
satisfied and grateful for a days filling of help or basically taking things on
the Lords time and letting the things He wants for me roll in motion. Plus all
this time I've been so greedy I cant believe how greedy I've been.... I want to be
a Fire fighter, I want to do military, sheriff, I want to go to Logan, I don't
want BYU... I want I want I want! Finally I humbled myself and realized its not what
I want. So graciously He reminded me of parts of my Patriarchal blessing and I
realized I want to do whatever He needs of me. I want to be put in the places I
can help Him with the things that I can do to help. I want to have a career,
schooling etc that will allow me the adequate time I need for my family and for
my church callings to help others. And I gotta follow my plaque scripture. Funny
how I picked that and its been a theme in my whole mission and basically what I
teach everyone.! crazy
Loving my mission basically! Yesterday for pday was a state holiday so I
couldn't email but pres let us borrow one of his crown vics so we looked like
cops and drove down to Morgan Hill to see mama smith and e. Hardy and Whaley it
was a blast! Plus went to the boot barn and picked me up a new hat! Its
basically legit. hahah love it. Love my mission. Love the way the Lord just
makes my day everyday and how he has a huge elaborate plan for me and it just
keeps falling into place better and better. Love it so much. Other than the
temple its just the usual.....few dinners and trying to find a new investigator to
teach the gospel to. We're keepin our heads up and workin hard and having a
blast! So thankful for yals prayers they are what I need! and I feel them
strengthen me and keep me movin forward. Its crazy my time is so limited but
still feels like I'll be here forever. Its so good though. Transfers comin up in
2 weeks. nervous but hopeful.
Love yal so much! Sorry only thing is temple on my mind but I'll have more
fun crazy adventure for you coming up next week!
