I am so glad tomorrow is Friday! Can I just start with that?

It has been one of the longest weeks ever. My sleep schedule finally caught up with me which isn't fun..especially how this time difference is still messing with me and I have just been really overwhelmed. When people say their first week of college is hard nope for me it was my second week.

It has been one intense week. With emotions and school and a little side of homesickness and that wonderful jazz I came home tonight and sat on my bed for a good ten minutes in defeat. I am also not getting along with the hill I live on.(Another story,another day)

There are some positives of this week let me tell you. I am so in love with my missionary prep class. Every single time I walk out of there I am like I just want to summit my papers asap but then I have to force myself that I am not ready and that I need to relax abit and that I will go serve when I am ready.

Tuesday! So on Tuesday we have devotional. It is basically something to keep us spiritually focused during the rest of the week. Let me tell you how thankful to go to a university where devotional is a thing. I pondered not even going Tuesday and then I was like well I should go so I went haha.

Other than the President of my university telling us we need to date and do a date night thing I learned so much. It helped me especially on Wednesday when I was just debating everything.

I was so in my head and I literally was like why is this happening? I was so confused. I was like I need a reason why this keeps happening. 

So before my night class on Wednesday I reread the notes I took. I was looking through them and I was like okay I do all of this things like seriously okay maybe I need to work on that more. Then I found it.

Elder Hamula, our speaker said quoted a scripture and the message behind it was something I hadn't really thought of. It was 2 Nephi 28:30. To tell you the jist of it, it is saying how the Lords pattern to us to just give us many small answers over time not just all at once. Right then I was like hello okay that makes sense. 

That made me feel better about something because I literally spent half this week praying about something and I was receiving answers but not the answers I was expecting which threw me into a twist for a bit.

Then I was reflecting tonight on how long and emotionally/physically exhausted this week was. I was like this week has just kinda sucked and last week was amazing. Well then I thought of the blessing I received right before I left for Idaho in the first place. To paraphrase what the blessing said, it went along the lines of you will have good weeks and bad weeks but don't forget how much Heavenly Father loves you and has a plan for you.

I instantly found comfort in that.

I know He loves me and He knows who I am and He has a plan for me.

I may not always know but He does. 

I have never been so thrilled to be apart of the everlasting gospel that keeps me grounded all the time. It brings such joy and peace into my life.

With that I just want to say thanks for all reading my blog and putting up with me!

Much love!
