I always knew, but I didn't want to admit it

Everything happens for a reason. No matter what happens, things will work out the way they are supposed to be, even if it's different than what you expect.
Even though I absolutely didn't want to go to Utah State, I know that's where I'm supposed to be. I guess I sort of always knew I'd be going there, but I didn't want to admit it. I kept thinking "anywhere but USU," but Heavenly Father had a different plan in mind. Now that I know it's the right place for me, I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. People keep telling me, "you're gonna love Utah State," and even though I'm absolutely, positively, terrified, I know that it's just a way to help me grow. My Mom keeps telling me, "things just keep getting better and better." You know what? She's probably right.

one of those days

I hate those days when you just feel...blah. why do I feel blah? I have no reason at all! nothing bad happened today. I watched lots of psych, I ate some subway, I wrote 2 missionary letters, I even saw some hilarious magic tricks by the brother and his friend. I shouldn't feel blah, but I just do. It's probably just hormones or something.

My first Elders!

Today my pals Garrett and Tanner had a double farewell.  It was my first friend farewell, and I actually did a lot better than I thought. I still cried, but I was ok with that. They were amazing. They are going to be incredible missionaries, and I know they are going to make a difference in Tallahassee Florida (Garrett) and Farmington New Mexico (Tanner). I couldn't be more proud. :)
