I left super early on January 3rd and it was crazy! I was delayed because of the snow and ice and I ran to my connecting flight in Denver, arriving just in time. Needless to say I was very happy to arrive back in Virginia.
I hung out with Raquel for a bit before heading back to the airport to pick up my friend Stockton. It was nice having someone in the car to drive home with and keep me awake!
I hadn't ate basically all day, so I went on an adventure to Cook-out. I was absolutely exhausted but I had a new resident text me saying she was arriving at 2am... So I had to do something to stay awake. We ended up renting Me Before You and watched that in the art hallway till she arrived.
Life jumped right back in with work on Wednesday. I really did miss their cute little faces and laughs. They are some of my favorite little human beings ever! Its amazing to see how much they grew up in a few short weeks.
Classes started on Thursday the 5th which was a little crazy. Half the school wasn't back yet, and everyone was thrown off by the middle of the week start. But I think I am really going to like my classes!!
I have Institute, Choir, Museum Studies (This is the best!), Organization and Leadership, Pilates, British Literature, and Genre Studies: Fiction.
So along with classes starting Thursday, I got called in to meet with my Bishop.
I am now the Buena Vista YSA 4th ward Relief Society President.
I had a feeling this was coming! I am excited and nervous and anxious to get everything in place and moving along. But I have such a love for the women in the ward and am excited to work with all of them!
And just to keep a theme going... 3 out of 4 of us in the presidency are named Lauren. :)
Friday Anna, Alex and I played Bananagrams. We were throwing it back to Freshman year. It was great!
Saturday we got some snow! It was such a relaxing day. I slept in, did some homework, watched a tv show.. It was so nice!
Saturday night I was reading in 1 Nephi. In 1 Nephi 3:5 it says,
"And now, behold thy brothers murmur, saying it is a hard thing which I have required of them; but behold I have not required it of them, but it is a commandment of the Lord."
The Lord often requires hard things from us. That is how we grow and change and progress towards our eternal home. But because he requires hard things, he also has provided the way for us to accomplish those hard things if we just have faith!
