I Can Go the Distance

Honestly, I had every intention of deleting this blog tonight, but then I felt as though I could be killing a great opportunity. So, here's where I'm at: I'm tired and need to read my scriptures, I'm scrambling about finances because I'm paranoid about my mission, and I'm ready for some serious fun this break.

I'm loving life right now. Sledding yesterday was refreshing. It was time spent with people that I love, my friends. No major injuries made it the perfect evening. Earlier yesterday I had a great spiritual experience. Taylor and Austin Smith were both baptized, which was absolutely fabulous. They have strong faith and know what they did was right. I'm just so happy for them both. They're twins, so we're tight. I felt the spirit so strongly, and I wasn't really too social. I'm okay with that though. Katie even thought that I was having a bad day or something. She and Melissa are caring that way, but I was fine. I don't really have bad days, just some are more interesting than others. It just really hit me how important Baptism is to salvation.

That's all for tonight. I don't want this to be a journal or anything comparable to it. If it is, tell me ASAP. I'm being serious. I just want to tell a few people the way that I'm feeling and what I've learned. Peace.

James, I'm glad you didn't delete your blog. I sometimes don't really know what's going on all the way up in Logan...haha, so as trivial as that might seem, I would love to hear how you're doing. :) I'm excited for you and all the mission prep stuff- you're going to be a good missionary. Well I love you lots and hope you're happy! :)

Love, Heather
