Utah, Utah, and Thanksgiving

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. With school and the semester winding down(I am almost done with my first semester of school what) and Thanksgiving. I am alive and well don’t worry!
  
Life has been pretty hectic. I was so stressed that I was just crawling to break.

Heavenly Father has kinda had a field day with me the last couple of weeks. Trials are not my favorite things. Learning from them on the other hand is another story. Miracles happen though and I am so grateful for that.

I have so much to say that I don't even know where to begin haha.

I really really wanna talk about my recent trip to Utah hence the title.

I am so thankful for the Youngs for letting me stay with them from Wednesday through Today. It was great to be in a family setting again. They also reminded me a lot of home and my own family and I basically got adopted this week so I mean no harm there.

Utah is so beautiful. I am so in love with the mountains. I love the fact that every couple cities there is a temple and lots of church buildings.

I got the opportunity to go to the Brigham City Temple yesterday! I brought 15 names out of the roughly 42 I have reserved to get done. I did five myself and then had a family friend do the ten boy names including both of my grandfathers which made it so much more special.

I got to check another temple off my list. I have a goal in life to visit every single temple in the United States. I want to visit the grounds and do a session there. I have done sessions in three temples and visited four temple grounds.

A cool part of my trip is that in the temple right before I did baptisms is I saw a now return missionary who served in Mount Vernon. That was pretty sweet to see him especially since he lives in Brigham. He was just as excited to see me as I was him. I loved catching up for a couple minutes or so.

Blessings happen! I am so thankful for my trip to Utah this week. It was such a stress reliever and it truly opened my eyes.

Now unto the crazy miracles. Let a lesson be learned not to ignore promptings. You will get a huge slap in the face for sure.

When your best friend asks you for girl advice and then proceeds to tell you that he told someone else he likes them it kinda isn’t fair especially when you can’t really tell him anything… so being mad at him from a distance works.

Well when Heavenly Father decides to teach you a lesson on forgiveness it is the biggest slap in the face ever. I got into a situation a week or so ago where someone did me wrong over something really dumb. I was angry and mad at this person especially when they were close to me.

I had this feeling that I was supposed to be excited for Monday. Behold, forgiveness is funny when your best friend gives you so many reasons not to be mad at him. You also then realize how the stupid situation was meant to put you in the right direction.

Things worked out. I forgave him and I am forgiving her.

I guess my miracle is that if I didn’t have that dumb situation happen then I wouldn’t realize what Heavenly Father really wanted me to do and focus on. If I have to wait for it then I will so wait for it patiently.

This gospel is amazing. Don’t ignore promptings! He will answer your prayers! Patience is key. I got to go to the temple and church and I wasn’t even in Rexburg this week. Blessings happen!

I am thankful for so much! I would just annoy you all if I listed everything.

Sorry this is so long! I promise I won’t go weeks without blogging again!
