The "lasts" are starting.
Monday for FHE we played General Conference Jeopardy. Have I mentioned how much I love General Conference?
Everyone should be very proud of me. I actually ordered scrambled eggs in the dinning hall. They were delicious!
I got a surprise package from Grandma Lambert on Wednesday. She must know me really well because inside was chocolate and a coloring book. It completely made my day!
I really love this scripture.
Trials come from God, and the Lord gives us strength to bear them. We must go through life being cheerful and full of patience.
Thursday was our last big group RA meeting. It was really sad. The Hiatt's had us all submit one word to describe every RA. Then they compiled the list and gave it to each of us to remind us that each of us are extraordinary. It was a lot of fun and as we got down on our knees to say our last "family" prayer together, I got really sad. This amazing group of people is going to be all over the place next year. We have quite a few getting married, some transferring, and some going on missions. I have loved working with them and getting to know them. They are truly amazing.
This was the start of all my crazy tests and projects coming up. Friday I had a macroeconomics test and a Spanish test. I had accepted late Thursday night that if I didn't know the information, I wasn't going to know it. John John's advice was "As Squirt (from Finding Nemo) once said, "You're going to rip it, roll it, and punch it!"
It definitely made me laugh.
I felt good about both test though, especially macro. So we will have to see how I actually did!
Friday Kaylee and I sat and colored while watching Lizzie McGuire. Can't get much better than that!
Saturday winter made an appearance. It was snowing which you definitely cannot see in this picture..
My RA from my first semester is amazing! Merissa definitely took care of me all the time and just let me follow her around. If she hadn't taken me under her wing that first week, I don't know how I would have survived. Second semester she went on a mission. She had to come back early for some medical reasons, but Saturday she GOT MARRIED!
A group of us all headed up to the temple. Most of my friends did a session and Nicole and I did conformations.
It was a lot of fun to just sit and catch up with Nicole. She asked me an interesting question at one point. She said "What is the biggest change you have seen in yourself this past year?"
Uh....well.....hmmm
Where do I even begin?
Merissa looked absolutely stunning. It was so good to hug her and be with her quirky personality again.
I rode with Brigham, Alayna, and Jordan but Nichole, Lainie, John John, Lucy, and Cory were all there. There were a few moments throughout the day that I sat and thought, "I am so grateful for these amazing people in my life. I'm grateful to have come to SVU so I could meet them. I love how we can have gospel conversations and go to the temple together. I just really love my friends."
Please ignore my hair. This was after a very long day of running around, snow, and wind.
Three "generations" of RA's
We were starting to drive home and we turned a corner and there was the temple all lit up! It was beautiful! What a great reminder of its guiding light.
Its hard to believe the semester is ending. A lot of changes are coming next semester. Job wise and people wise.
Sunday I bore my testimony on change. I am grateful that we change and can grow. Its so important to remember that we are children of a Heavenly Father and as we stay close to him we can change for the better.
