Blessed

I feel so completely blessed right now. I feel as though I need to release all the happiness that is bottled up inside of me. Church today was the BEST. I feel like the Lord was standing right above me, blessing me with insight for my life. I had so many thoughts that I need to pray heavily about, things that will alter the course of my life. I feel as though being out here all on my own (with the companionship of only the world's best roommates) has really made me look at my life's goals and wonder if they were what is best for me, or just what everybody assumed I would do. All of the things I want to do in this life are good things, but I think the Lord has even better things in store for me. He has blessed me so much thus far, I can't even imagine what else he could do for me. I'm scared of the unknown, and of the idea that I need things I can't imagine, but I know that if I trust in the Lord everything will be okay :)

The Good Life

So I figured its about time for an update of my life. So much has happened in the last few weeks. First of all, in case you all forgot, I am in Utah at BYU! I have just finished my first week of classes and I am LOVING it! Before I left I was so nervous abou things like roomates and school work load and finding my way. Although I still have troublbe finding my way around sometimes, especially to my Doctrine and Covenants class (I'm still not sure how I got there last time) I have found that there is so much here to be grateful for. I am so grateful for my beautiful roomates, the great friends I've made thus far, My body, Great music and friends to share it with, my talents, my relationship with Christ and my Heavenly Father, and the companionship of the Holy Ghost. I am seriously living the good life. I don't even know how to relate how much I'm loving life! I know that there will be hard times, but I know that with a little bit of prayer, faith and a dash of the Priesthood, I will be able to make it through ANYTHING!!!
I couldn't believe it the first few days, that I was actually HERE in Utah and living at BYU. It was something I had dreamed about for months and its finally happening. Somethigns are going faster than I expected but I know that a little bit of perspective is all it takes :)
P.S.
Last night I pretty much went on the BEST date EVER!
My good new friend David agreed to get ice cream and a movie with my roomate, Tori and her friend Bryce. We waited around for David for almost two HOURS haha. He's a pretty fun guy though, we decided just to meet him at the Creamery rather than have him come to the apartment. We were standing in line waiting and talking when Elder L. TOM PERRY walked into the creamery with his wife. he walked into line right behind us and we were all shocked. It was the Craziest thing. of Course I immediatly texted Facebook and then David and told him what was up. When he walked in, he hadn't gotten my text and was shoked to see The Apostle  standing there. :):) he shook his hand and then began talking to us in line. Bryce then explained to Elder Perry that David was late for his date and so Elder Perry told David to get up next to us in line and pay for all our ice cream (Which put me off the hook for I had offered to get him his favorite :]) He got up in line and we all got our ice cream and then went outside to sit and eat. As we were sitting there, The couple came out and they were going to sit down at the table next to us, we asked them if they wanted to sit with us and so we sat and talked and ate ice cream with one of the Lord's twelve apostles! I feel like it wasn't real, but it was. I guess that's Utah for you! Anyway, we sat and talked and he told David that he should be an Accountant not an Engineer, I think he is going to seriously consider changing his major, though he is positive about minoring in Portugese. Although we were upset at first, for the tardiness of David, It illustrated the point that good things come out of every situation. We would have never had the amazing oppurtunity we did if it hadn't been for David being in "Neverland" ashe had so gracefully stated on his way over....
After we finished our Ice cream Elder Perry joked about wanting to see our grades at the end of the term. Tori and I agreed this morning that in August, we would mail a copy of our report cards and a gift card to the Creamery to Elder Perry :) along with a letter of course. I can't WAIT until the October General Conference so that I can hear his talk. Meeting him made him seem more real and he had such a freat spirit about him. I loved it.

Then after ice cream, we went an got a movie and then proceeded to come back to my apartment and watch it. It was a great night filled with lots of laughs and great food :)
Needless to say, I love it here, and I couldn't have picked a better place for myself at this time of my life.
