Week 3

Well here we go. This week wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be! I had something that I've always known reconfirmed to me without the course of this week: Heavenly Father has placed some pretty amazing people in my life. I've felt so much love and support from so many people this week! My mom sent me a letter and a care package, Becky sent me a letter, Sister Hatch sent me the sweetest e-mail ever, and my friends are just plain awesome. I am so blessed! My friend Sam and my roommate Alexis and I were talking last night about how it will be so interesting to see how this setback fits into the plan that Heavenly Father has for me. Someday it will all make sense. As much as I want to understand everything right now and know exactly what my future is going to be, that's not how Heavenly Father works. So, things are improving on that front.

This week I've been pretty much studying nonstop for tests. WOO. it's a blast really. This weekend I managed to squeeze in some fun though! My friends and I walked a 5K on Friday night! It was awesome. We came in last place, but we had so much fun! I had to take a test this morning, so after the 5K, Sam was awesome and came over and helped me study! When we finished, me, her, and Alexis talked forever and it was lovely. Today I took my Poli Sci test. As I was taking it I was pretty much convinced I'd failed, to the point that I wasn't even going to look at the T.V. screen to see my score. Well, I decided to look and found that I'd gotten an 87! I was pretty siked. Then I had to come home and study for my Physical Science test on Tuesday. Then I have a Book of Mormon test on Thursday! The fun NEVER stops! At least I get to go to the Hunger Games midnight premiere this week! I'm so excited! Anyways, today I went grocery shopping with my roommate. Then we got some Papa John's pizza and ate pizza for dinner with Sam and Mallory. It was delish. Now I should go to bed because I have church at 9 but I'm just not tired yet. Ah well. Ta ta for now!

A Birthday Shoutout to my Favorite Missionary Cousin!

What better way to return from my unintentional blogging hiatus, than to write a birthday blog in honor of my favorite cousin? Whenever I describe Matthew to my friends I refer to him as, "my cousin who's kind of more like my brother." In honor of his birthday, this weekend I was reading through some of our e-mails that we've written to each other while he's been on his mission and selected my top 10 favorite quotes that encapsulate ten of my favorite things about Matthew. 1. He will forever be a matchmaker.  "So a guy in my ward sent you a message on Facebook. He was going to say that he's single and looking for a girl to take to the temple. I said that would probably be a little strange." Side note: He sent it to the wrong Sarah Freeman, so I never got it.  2. He appreciates good television.  "So I've been e-mailing Michael Scott. I thought you would appreciate that he's been working in the mission office. Please think about th...

Can Weaknesses be Strengths in Disguise?

    One of my favorite scriptures from the Book of Mormon is Ether 12:27. I've loved this scripture for a long time, but this week it took on a whole new meaning for me. It reads: "And if men come unto me, I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."     I've always been a very reserved and sensitive person. In my mind, these have always been two of my most glaring weaknesses. I've always wanted to become that person who can walk into a room filled with people and make everyone feel like a best friend. Instead, I walk into a room filled with people, and feel instantly overwhelmed. I've always wanted to be the person that can shake things off, truly embrace imperfection, and just move on. Instead, my mind goes in relentless circles...
