Waiting Paitently

Happy 2016!

I realized that I haven;t blogged at all this year so hello everyone!

We are 12 days into this new year and so much crazy stuff has already happened!

I don't know where to start okay.

I am currently living in an apartment with six other girls. Yes you read it right. Six. I went from having one roommate to six. Funny how that works. Oh two of my roommates are from Ohio! A different stake but still. 

I literally had an anxiety attack last Tuesday because I didn't know how the heck I was going to bond with my roommates when I only lived with one roommate last semester and we didn't really talk.

Heavenly Father answered that one pretty quick. I got called as Family Home Evening Leader yesterday. So basically I have to plan activities with my co-leader( who doesn't know what he is doing as much as I do so it should be an interesting semester) and make sure we feel the spirit and abide by the rules here at BYUI. As the people in the YSA call it. I am a FHE mom to 17 kids.

I have been kinda freaking out about my calling and kinda bonding with my roommates and such. Sunday, there was a worldwide devotional by President Nelson of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles. I am not kidding you when I tell you that I really think that he was speaking to me! I had so many of my prayers answers in that devotional that night. Heavenly Father truly answers prayers.

Callings are giving to each person for a reason. We are expected to be prepared to do the impossible. And in my case be FHE mom. It is such a challenge especially because I have no idea what I am doing. But I realized that I was supposed to get this calling and it meant for me to grow outside of my comfort zone. That was a pretty sweet realization Sunday night.

One thing that I realized that I really need to work on this year is patience. It is such an important skill that is vital in the work. Yet, I am not the most patient person.

One example is that one of my best friends is coming home from his mission super soon and it is literally driving me insane haha. Like I am so excited that I am just ready for him to come home yet he has a little under a month left. I cannot make time go any faster for him or me even though I won't see him for awhile when hes home. Not the point.

I have to be patient with whats to come and patient with what is around.

It is something to work on that is for sure.

I am so excited for this year. I have a good feeling that this year is gonna bring a lot of good things.
