11:20 in a Onesie

Why do all of these posts happen late at night? Oh, right, because every second of every day in my life is punctuated either with classes, or with screaming girls running down hallways. Nights are when I have thinking time, which may or may not be that good.

I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, the cause being last Sunday, which was the best church sesrvice I've been to up here. Each lesson was insightful, and the talks given during sacrament meeting were so spiritual it would make the coldest person in the world feel happier.

Accomplishments:
Some things that were said on Sunday caused me to finally work up the guts to talk to my bishop about some things that should have been brought up years ago. I am so glad I did. He was completely understanding and told me exactly what I needed to hear. Seriously, I've never cried out of happiness so much.

Need to do:
Find my temple recommend! I haven't been to the Logan temple yet, and it's within a mile of my dorm. Sad much? Yeah. I am determined to go, but FIRST I have to tear my room apart and find it. I'm hoping it's still in my suitcase from when I went to CA.
I also need to finish an English essay due Tuesday. Who knew writing a sonnet could be so freaking hard?! I dare you to try it, with iambic pentameter and everything.

I've been thinking more about going on a mission. I'm still not sure whether or not I should, I just know that I get a good feeling whenever I think about it. I've been reading in 3rd Nephi lately, specifically about the three Nephites who ask Jesus to let them live on Earth until he comes again so that they can continue to do gospel work. When I read it, I just thought, wow, how incredible would it be to dedicate yourself completely to the Lord for a lifetime? Which reminds me about The Other Side of Heaven; LOVE that movie!

Hmmm... not so sure how I feel about you being in a "onesie." Not exactly a picture I want in my mind. Anyhow, good to hear that things are looking up. And a mission! Wow! Good for you. I never wanted to go when I was younger (and obviously never did) but now I kinda wish I did, just because those that do know SO much, and I feel like I'm so far behind. Still a few years away, but a worthy goal indeed.

I'm with Nats on this one. Onesies--not cool! ;)

And here's a tip for you: stop being so hard on yourself!! Unless you committed some act of homicide, there's nothing you need to work out with your Bish. You are a geyood peerson, and guilt over unimportant stuff (and it's all unimportant) can be crippling.

If you go on a mission, I hope you go to Europe. Cuz I will be jeal.

Hey, onesies ARE cool, thank you very much. One of the more radical pieces of my generation for sure, but it's always good to wear them for a laugh.
