| Trick or Treat :) |
I think they turned out adorable, I love my cricut. It is so awesome! And I love that I had a blank space above my couch which can now be my permanent holiday banner zone :) Now I will always have to decorate for holidays or the little cork boards will look oddly out of place...
Tonight I had class and it was awesome because of the people. I have three people that I feel like I am friends with now, their names are Lara, Angela and Brenann. All three of these women have shared incredible stories that have carved them into the people they are. Their experiences have been rough, I don't think I could come out a better person from everything they've gone through, but they managed to take hard things and become awesome. Here is my little thoughts about each of my new friends :)
Lara, She and I connected pretty quickly, we sit next to each other, we help each other out when we have to Skype into class and I think she is amazing. She is super upbeat and funny, and she has really great insights to class discussions.
Angela, She is the CRAZIEST (in the best way possible) person I have ever met. I say this with a huge smile on my face. She is so funny, and not afraid to share her experiences, struggles and her opinions. She makes everything seem so easy even though I am sure she doesn't have an easy lot in life. She is very motivational for me. And she always takes time to check up on me to see how I'm doing. I feel so blessed to have such a great person looking out for me.
Brenann, I don't know this girlie quite as much as the other two because until today I hadn't really talked to her much. But she is very sweet. She has gone out of her way on several occasions to make sure that my needs are met. Today we found out we both drive to school from Utah county, alone. So hopefully next week we will drive together and work out a gas saving carpool system :) Hooray for saving money! She also is funny and uplifting at the same time, what an awesome combo!
Courtney (I didn't list her above because she isn't in my program, but I have things to say anyway) She is my next door neighbor and I love her. She is the one who brings me cookies when my facebook post is depressing and she is the one that I consistently sit next to in Relief Society. Tomorrow night we are going to be frosting cupcakes :) I am so excited to finally (after nine months of living here) get to hang out with her. We are doing cupcakes for our ward Halloween party on Saturday. I just admire how calm and collected and happy and caring this girl is. :)
Basically, I realized that one way that school is boosting my confidence is by providing me with friends. I have been really lonely for a while and I know its my fault for not reaching out, but my point is this: I am so thankful for a Heavenly Father who knows my needs and helps me to figure them out. I needed these influences in my life, and He lead me to them. I am so glad to be in this program. The people who are in my class with me are so great. We have so much love in that room that it might burst one of these days. The spirit is so strong, and I sincerely care about my classmates. I am so glad to be having such a great experience with this program. Also, cool fact: Elder Nielson, my Pathway missionary, the adult supervision for my class, is a Sealer. :) What a cool guy to listen to every week. :)
