Sunday is my favorite day of the week. The time I get to spend just relaxing from the rest of my life; school, worries, etc. I love being in the Relief Society Presidency, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to get to know all the girls in my ward. I find that having this time recharges me for the rest of the week, and reaffirms that I am a worthy child of God. I was thinking today about the fact that this will be my last semester at BYU-Idaho. All in all, I have had an amazing experience here, and I have grown so much! I feel like I know myself so much better, and I finally know what I am capable of. I went from an awkward roommate with very poor social skills to a fully capable adult. Of course, I still have so very much to learn, and I tend to still make things awkward for myself on a regular basis. However, I know I have come a long way! I am so grateful to those people who have helped me grow, and have stayed friends with me, even if I am strange sometimes :) I love the opportunites I have had here, and the lessons I have learned will stay with me for the rest of my life. As I leave this Desciple Training Center, my hope is that I will continue to improve and become more like Christ. I am ready for whatever life throws at me, and I know I will have devine help wherever I go. Recently I have had people ask me if I am scared to move to Germany, where I have no friends or family. I can honestly tell those people that I am not in the least bit scared. I know that no matter where I go, and no matter who I meet, the Gospel and the people that live by it are going to be there. That is such a blessing! To know that wherever I am, I will ahve a family. I love that! I am so excited to go on this grand adventure, and to share the gospel with those who have not heard it yet. Of course, I am not actually serving a mission, but I feel like I will have opportunities to share the Truth with others while I am living and working in Germany.
So, now that I have written a small novel, I'll finish!
Love, Sam :)
Jealous.
