I started writing a post, and then it deleted the whole thing! What is going on here?! Anyway. It seems like today I have discovered that a lot of people are sad. It's amazing that when you really think about it, probably everyone you know has cried in the last month over something. If I could do one thing in the world, it would be to make everyone a little happier, even if that's just by listening or baking cookies.
My sister Hannah has the most amazing talent for listening. People will just tell her things, out of the blue, and ask for her advice. She is a wonder when it comes to getting things off of your chest! I'd like to emulate that. So, if you're reading this, and you just need someone to listen to you, come talk to me. I'd love to help you. Do you know why? Because I think my gift is to love people. I just love people! And I would love to help you out any way that I can. I like to give hugs.
No one should be sad. And if you are sad, you shouldn't be lonely. Come get a hug.
My dear, dear cousin Andrew is going to the MTC this week! YEEEEAAAAAAAAH ELDER KELLY!!!!! He's the best. My favorite cousin ever. And he is going to be a wonderful missionary. I'm praying for you. Be safe on your flight over. And if you need anything, I'm five minutes away!
Gratitude Moment:
I am grateful for people. Pretty much this was inspired by prayer meeting today. So, for those of you leaving, here's what I have to say. Thank you, Madison, for saying hello to me on the bus and various other places. It means more than you know. Thank you, McKay, for your excellent home teaching skills. You'll certainly be using them in Mozambique. Thank you, Lauren, for saying hello to me whenever you saw me. Again, it means more than you know. Tyler, I know your sister more than I know you, but you are a wonderful example :). Kami, you just make me laugh, and I love your testimony. Julie, the slightly strange experiences we've had with each other this semester (chocolate milkshake, randomly barging into your apartment) have created this really weird friendship between the two of us, and I really like you a lot! Kati, I think you are lovely :). Taylor, you are a wonderful singer and the fact that you worked on the MOA is awesome (I wasn't creeping on you, I just happened to see that you were working there :). Michael N.--I don't know if you remember, but you walked me home from a meeting one time and I really appreciated that. You are a really awesome person. Nathaniel, I don't even know if you go by that name (which is really sad), but I really liked the designs you drew on the table at the Christmas party. It reminded me of home. And, Cassidy, I'm really, REALLY sorry that I wasn't a better visiting teacher, but I wish you all the luck and prayers and happiness in the world as you go to New York. You will be wonderful, because I know you will be :). Those of you I didn't just mention, I still love you! And whatever it is that you're leaving us for, please remember this amazing ward and know that there are many people who believe in you. Don't ever give up on ANYTHING. I love you all :)
Scriptures for the Day:
2 Nephi 31:20........"Wherefore, ye must press forward with a asteadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of bhope, and a clove of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and dendure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eeternal life."
Good stuff.
