Dear Elder (Sister)

A friend of mine shared this on Facebook, and it was (as my mom would say ;p) one of the Lords tender mercies for me tonight.
Dear Elder
This woman has an amazing story, and (just for you blog stalkers) a fun blog. Also her channel on Youtube she has turned into a kind of Video blog if you are interested.

Priesthood Blessings

My roommate has been sick off and on ever since school started. Tonight at ward prayer she asked a couple guys in our ward if they would give her blessing when they all got back home. They of course agreed, and came right over.
Two of my other roommates were in the room when I walked in, so I felt it was okay if I asked to stay, and be a part of it.
As soon as the second young man pronounced the words:
"By the power of the Holy Melchizedek Priesthood, Which I hold..."
A spirit came over me testifying of the power and divinity of the priesthood. I also had a feeling of overwhelming gratitude for those two men, who were in my home, and who exercise their priesthood righteously. Who understand, and live accordingly, to hold the power of our Beloved Heavenly Father.
Can you imagine the love He must have for us? To trust us with his power? How often do we forget the things he has done for us. I didn't realize, until tonight how much I missed living with a worthy priesthood holder. Right now I want to thank my Father and my Brothers for the examples they set for me. And to my Mom(s), Aunts, and Friends for setting the example of the kind of man I want to spend eternity with.
How often do we take "the small and simple things" for granted? From today I am going to strive to be better than I was yesterday. This is all he asks of us.

Zumba

Have you ever gone to a Zumba class? SO. DANG. MUCH. FUN!! We had a blast, and got a good workout as well! My friend and I are some of the most uncoordinated people you will ever find, it doesn't matter! Find a class and go! You will be glad you did!

Gone

Lisa just pulled out. I, of course, cried.

I thought of this scene from Friends this morning when I woke up.
Sorry this is bad quality, and the part I was thinking of is right at the end at 8:11. Although the whole thing is funny if you have 10 minutes.
Rachel Moves Out

Dear Friend I already miss you! Good luck with your new job, and don't forget. It's your turn!

Laughing

Tonight a dear friend came over to visit me. I caught her all up on what was going on with me. Where I'm at in my paperwork, how my job is going, how I've been sick, and how/why my roommate is leaving Logan. When it was her turn to tell me her stories, she started telling me about her new boy and how cliche this romance is. (i.e. she thought she had felt this way before, but now that she really did she knew that past relationship wasn't real.)
I know I am making fun and really he is very nice and so sweet and such a good guy and they are cute together, but all we could do all night was laugh and giggle like we were middle schoolers talking about seeing this H-O-T HOT boy in math and knowing he was the one! At one point I bet her $20 that she couldn't keep a straight face for one minute. She of course lost.
So while she was losing this bet, our situation reminded me of another very familiar situation. And if we had magic nannies here in Logan this is what we would have looked like tonight!

Thank for the laughs tonight dearest friend! And I hope that things keep going well! (PS I am going to win that $20! You know which bet I am talking about!)
