I got my associates degree. You should be proud I actually put this out in public. For the longest time I've been so embarrassed to tell people that I'm JUST getting my associates at 24. (Actually I was 23 when I got it..) Anyway, I thought it has taken me forever and I was worried that people might think I'm lazy, stupid, or overall lame. Well, I've come to the conclusion that people are probably going to think whatever they want about me so I should pride myself in my accomplishments, no matter what anyone else thinks. I've always cared what others think of me and sometimes I let myself believe that I need to let the fear of others thoughts control me. Why does it even matter so much? (For the record, I had to work a year before starting school and then I took 2 years off to serve God. Take those three years off my age and I'm right there with most people getting their associates.) It's kinda funny how I let the little things get to me and it doesn't even matter.
OH! Those answers I was so frustrated I wasn't getting from God in my last blog... Well... I got answers!!! He always comes through! I love Him.
Right after school got out for me I started working at EFY. For those of you who don't know what it is, let me explain. Especially For Youth is a week long church camp that is WAY fun and WAY spiritual. I worked there for a while, I seriously loved it! I loved all the youth! It was exhausting but it was totally worth it hearing everyone's testimonies at the end. I'd do it all year round if I could!
Now I'm living with my parents again, waiting for Potato harvest to start. It's been nice to just relax a little. I've gotten to go hike Table Rock, go visit mission friends, go to Lagoon with old high school friends, and still get in some good quality time with my family. (Even though we are in the middle of grain harvest right now.) I've also got some good time in with my guitar Ebeneezer. I've written a few songs and learned a couple new ones. I'm still not very good, but I'm good enough to get a ton of joy playing.
As yall can tell, life is great. I couldn't ask for a better one.
Elder Stander has 3 months left..or 12 weeks..or 90 days. I'm not excited for him to get home at all! :) Transfers are also next week. I'll update yall if he moves.
