I have no idea why I put this post with this title, but it's all that came to my mind. The last couple of days have been both trying and spiritual. I have been having some arguments with my roommate and I just haven't known how to react to her. I definetly don't want to bring those things up again (because she feeds off the confrontaion), but I just can't stand how emotional she is. It is throwing off my groove of happiness. If you have any advice I am more than willing to hear it. (HEY!!! Ask and you shall receive! she just appologized! But I am still up for the advice.)
The spiritual part of my week was Sunday. I went visiting teaching with my companion, who by the way is the best person EVER!!! Anyway, we were walking to the person's house who we V.T. and some how she got me talking about how I lack at spiritual thoughts. She told me to just start bearing my testiomny and I would be linked with Heavenly Father; he would tell me what to say. I did what she told me to and I could not deny the spirit that told me the words to say. The lesson was about daily scripture study and while I was talking about it I felt how important it is. That was my first time, that I remember, I felt the spirit that strongly.
I guess that my title fits in. Hopefully one day I will be able to feel the promptings of the spirit guiding me to say the things that need to be said.
I
love you all! Thank you for being my family and friends. I couldn't picture my life without you in it.

For a family home evening activity we went to the park and played some night games, but first we had to have fun with the swings. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a high swing and then twist around, and around, and around... it was a very stress reliving five minutes. I should go there again... hummm.... that is a good idea.
At the end of last semester my roommates and I had dinner in one of the elevators on campus. It was soooo fun!!! It was the day after Easter so we had some yummy egg salad sandwich. My roommate Shelley was graduating and one of the things on her bucket list was to have a picnic in an elevator; so we surprised her with it. It was so fun. People kept coming to the elevator and just staring at us. It was quite funny :) Anyway, we had an experience that deserves the description of, "COOL BEANS!!!"
So this is the biggest bruise I've got on my body... so far (I'm sad you can't see the bad coloring very well, but it's HUMONGO!!). I was riding my horse, Oliver, in my horsemanship class and I wanted Oliver to start trotting, I don't know why he did it, but he decided he wanted to run and buck. Luckily I stayed on during the bucking part, but all of a sudden he stopped, which made me fly over Oliver's head. I don't know how I landed, but some how I rolled and landed on my feet (I thank my volleyball skills for that part). So I was on my feet and all I did was stand there, stare down my horse, and ask him, "What do you think you're doin?!" My instructor came running up to me and asked me if I was ok. I wanted look at him with my eyebrow raised and say... "ok?? No I'm not OKAY!" But all I said was, "I will be." I walked my soreness off, well part of it, and got back on my horse.
So last week was AMAZING!!! Even though I have been swamped with homework me and three of my roommates made time for FUN!!! We made a "love plate" and gave it to one of our friends, Jake Thomas. That name should sound familiar to you. If you've been reading my posts you would know that he was my, "crust material." Any way, so we made this love plate telling him of our "affection" for him. There were some major inside jokes brought up on that one single plate. It was FUN!!! Any way, so we were trying to tape it to his door so we wouldn't have to bother the movie that he was watching. When we were walking away, Olivia was running after us. We noticed that she stook out like a sore thumb because she was the wearing WHITE!!! Yeah trying to be sneaky/ninjaish and wearing white... at night... not the greatest idea ever Olivia! (We still love her).
