And now... it has been a while. Life has been crazy. I am taking 15 credits, playing competitive soccer, fulfilling my calling, attempting to work a part time sales job, and turn in mission papers. Yes, ladies and gentlemen... this small town girl is going to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
We had General Conference this past weekend. For those who may not be familiar with it, every first weekend in March and October, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints gather all over the world to hear from our Prophet, his apostles, and other leaders in the church. The girls have 8 hours of church and the men have 10 hours for the weekend. I love it.
But once of the leaders (General Authorities) described what being strong is. I have been told I am strong and I have told others I believe they are strong. But when it really boils down to it, did I truly know what being strong really entailed?
Being strong is described as making consistent, faithful choices.
I try to be strong in every moment of my life. I know how horrible this world is becoming and in order to serve a mission, in order to get married in the temple, in order to raise a family, I have to be strong. And so, I will be. I'm strong enough to be so.
As far as temporal things are going, I am learning to love where I am. I'm learning from my past, living in my present, and preparing for my future, whatever that has in store for me. I do plan on going home to Oregon the week of Thanksgiving to see friends and family, and hopefully bringing a few friends with me. I have a trip to Logan planned to see old friends, and my parents are planning on coming to Rexburg in a couple weeks. I am way excited!
I have lots mroe to report on, just never any time. I have an assignment due in 1.5 hours and I'm here blogging. Sigh, story of my life. Hopefully more news to come later.
Victorious
