I LOVE MISSIONARIES

Really I do! I think that one of the most honorable things you can do, especially for a young man, is serve a mission. It's a completely selfless act of service, giving up everything to go preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ for two years. Away from friends, family, loved ones. Giving up time and money and the comforts of home. Yes all these sacrifices bring about tremendous, indescribable blessings but that is not to say that it isn't a challenge. You have to be completely dedicated, and probably the best thing about losing all my friends because they are leaving is getting to see the drive, the passion, the desire in their eyes before they go. I love my Savior Jesus Christ and if I was able to go serve at 19 you can best believe that is where I would be right now. But since I cant, I wouldn't trade anything for the opportunity I have to support these young men, who I care for so dearly, as they go off to serve the Lord. I love missionaries. I love the idea of being a missionary. I love the idea of writing letters and sending pictures, hearing stories about their experiences. I love it all. And I am so grateful for the role I have to love and support missionaries, because it is truly a blessing in my life!:)

UPDATE

UPDATE: saying yes is hard, sometimes (a lot of times) I choose sleep over clean hair, and these people make my heart oh so happy! As I continue to give fully to my job and to the people in my life, I continue to learn more and more that these humans give me more than I could ever give them.  And that is completely worth it.

I Sort Of Hate Making Decisions About Life.

Sometimes I have to make decisions about my life. And those decisions are hard and they scare me and I don't know what to do. Sometimes I think I have an answer and then a few days later I am doubting and second guessing everything that I think I  have figured out. It's so not cool. And above all I can't handle that fact that I don't know what I am supposed to do! How do I figure this out? How do I know if I am making the right decision? How? How do I know what it is that I am supposed to do? My life is a tad jumbled and messy right now.

The Top TEN!

Okay so it's actually two different top ten lists but that's fine. Here we go. The top TEN…. Things I have learned this semester… 10. Even when school is hard it can be enjoyable. 9. Drives up the canyon can do a lot of good. 8. Sometimes I struggle with people. 7. People are more understanding if you just go talk to them about what is going on. 6. My brain is capable of more than I ever will understand. 5. Some days you just need to buy a cheesecake. And that's okay. 4. Taking chances=worth the risk. 3. Even though trials may be hard, in the end you will learn something. Keep going. 2. People can be major blessings in your life. 1. I will do absolutely anything for the ones that I love. Even if they don’t realize it. Things I did this semester…..(in no particular order) 10. Went snowboarding TWICE (this probably doesn't seem like a big deal but it actually is). 9. Sparklers up the canyon. 8. Tri-wizard tournament (scrapped my shoulder up pretty bad...
