Late


So, yah, I haven't written in a couple of months. Things just became so busy and finals came so fast this blog took a back seat in my life. However, I survived my first semester. I ended up with a 3.75 GPA for the semester and have a 3.85 accumulated GPA. The sweetest part is the fact that I am a sophomore now! It sure paid off to do all the crazy classes my last year of high school. But, I was home for two weeks at Christmas time and felt it was way to short. Most of my friends had a little over a month. However, I get out of school in April whereas they get out at the end of May. Anyway, this semester is pretty easy for me. The benefits of being a semester ahead. I'm able to hang out and have more fun than I did last semester. However, I am juggling a job still. I was promoted however! I'm the new Accounting Assistant in the BYUSA Student Leadership office. I love it. I have also gone skiing a couple of times this semester and want to try and go again this weekend but we will have to see what happens.

The main reason I felt I needed to write was to clarify my testimony of the power of the Priesthood. My home teaching companion and I had the opportunity to give a couple of blessings this week. Those are always the coolest experiences because you really begin to understand that you are being a mouthpiece for the Lord. I was not the one saying the words, it was him. I also want people to know how much I love this gospel and to have them know that I know, without a doubt, that it is true. I have seen some of my closest friends in high school veer and sway with the crowd. I have seen people make hearbreaking mistakes. I have seen lives fall apart. It hurts me to see it but everybody has the answer to their problems, it just takes a little humility to get on your knees and ask for help. Anyway, I'll try and be a little more diligent with this.

Congratulations on your promotion to sophomore!
I'm going to be a sophomore, too... but it's not quite the same, is it? :)
I'm glad that you're liking BYU- sure miss you, though.
Congratulations on your mission call, too! That's really neat! I used to live right by Phoenix; it's super pretty.
Keep praying and working hard; we're all praying for you, too :)
