Expect Delays!


So I have named the title for its reason. EXPECT DELAYS! Especially when you want to hear something from me, or get something done with me. I am never a person that seems to do things right away like they should. I guess that is just me though!
Valentines day was fun for me. I worked in the late morning/early afternoon, and then went over to Zach's house around three. We watched Bourne Supremacy, and then I went home and got ready for the dance that we were going to. We went to the dance. It was his Stake having an adult dance for 18 yrs and older, so we went. One of the door prizes was who just recently got engaged. Everyone looked around and Zach and I were just sitting there, then after like two minutes he gets up and pulls me up and then announces that we're engaged. A little embarrasing for me, because I didn't know anyone, but I thought it was cute that he had the courage to do that! We came home from the dance and then realized we haven't had dinner, so we went and spurleged at Applebees at 10 o'clock at night. It is quite amazing that they were still open, but not packed like I thought they would be. It was fun though. When we were finished with our meals, they brought out a shooter with a red teddy bear that said "I Love You" on a heart that it was holding. It was so cute. He leaned over to my ear and said Happy Valentines to me and that was how we shared our evening. It was enjoyable, and I was in pure bliss! I love you babe!

My Testimony

I haven't been on here much lately due to school starting, me working two jobs, and also being a Math Ed. major takes some time away from the computer! I was listening to sacrament this morning in our ward and I just sat there and cried. I wanted to get up and share it, but I also didn't want to because I was stuck in the middle of the row, so here it is now for all of the few of you that read this!
I would just like to bear my testimony that I know this gospel is true. That it is the word of God, and that God does speak to our modern day prophet Thomas S. Monson. I know that The Book of Mormon is true, even if I do have an extremely hard time understanding it. I am so grateful to have the Rexburg Temple here in out midst and to be able to go up and do Temple Ordinances throughout the week, even in between classes. I was grateful to go on the MATS tour this last September. I know I may have lost my camera with all the neat pictures of places that we have been, but I do have images in my head of the glorious places that we saw, and the very strong spirit that I felt in the Church History Sites. I will never forget the feeling that I felt as I walked through the rooms that Joseph Smith, JR. translated The Book of Mormon, or where he received revelation through the divine inspiration of God. In my B. of M. 122 class, I came across a scripture in Alma 27 I think. I don't quite remember, but it talks about pride, and how the we get ourselves so caught up in worldly matters that we forget on what God blesses us with. On how we are so blessed to be able to communicate with him today, and have the scriptures to guide us. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
