From Slump to Success

I am the weirdo who thinks Mondays are the best day of the week.

And today been the best day ever so I mean who could hate Mondays. Just kidding I can name people off the top of my head who hates Mondays.

I woke up at 8 Idaho time from my best friend texting me to tell me to get up. My reaction was I hate you I don't have class until 2 stop texting me. Anyways lets just say I texted her and for a good half an hour I went back to sleep till I woke up to an email.

Yes I am a girl who loves weekly emails from some of my favorite people. And emailing my best friend is my favorite part of the week other than going to the temple every week. That is a great habit that I have developed since I have moved here.

He told me something great this week that made me basically cry but I promise you all its not the bad sort of cry. I needed to hear that so much. He said, "Just know that your Heavenly Father, family, and me will love you even if you don't go on a mission." I have been feeling like I am going to be disappointing so many people including him if I didn't go..It has made me so sad and so freaked out to tell anyone that I was thinking of not going. That sentence brought me to tears and it was the most comforting thing I had read in the last week or so other than the talk I read yesterday but not the point.

He is super great and I am so proud of him. He is going home in February and as sad as I am to see him leave the mission field I am so excited for him to be home at the same time. He deserves it.  I am super grateful for him and I hope he knows it.

Also! I have some pretty good news! I am possibly/probably getting a job! I had some guy from Subway call me today and seem super excited about me working there and such. So fingers crossed I get the job! And prayers would be awesome!

Things are finally looking up. I am happy and excited about things for the first time in like a week and a half. Heavenly Father listens to your payers and listens to your concerns let me tell you. I never been so confident about that. It does get better.

I know for awhile I was just drowning myself by thinking why but then this past Sunday one of the women in my ward spoke on this great talk by Sister Cook. It is called Never.Never, Never Give Up. I totally recommend it. Giving up is the last option and I know that Heavenly Father is truly on my side and believes in me.

I love you all and thanks for all the prayers and advice given to me! I appreciate it all. I will certainly have an update this week on everything!
