*First Weekend in Utah*

Joslyn and I hiked to the Y this weekend and wow was it harder than we thought! We both woke up so sore, maybe we should start working out again!?? ha ha Now every time we see the Y we feel so good about ourselves! :)



We then went to Landon's ward on sunday and it was a wonderful meeting. (Landon gave a WONDERFUL sunday school lesson! You are my hero!) The talks were based on facing adversity and having an eternal perspective in our everyday lives. Especially at this point in my life when i am starting to make important decisions on my own i need to make sure i am making time for the Lord. I have only been on my own for a week but i already feel my testimony growing. I have recently been asking the Lord for direction and i came across a talk i really liked about personal revelation. Here is a clip from it,

“When He answers yes, it is to give us confidence. When He answers no it is to prevent error. When he withholds an answer, it is to have us grow through faith in Him, obedience to His commandments, and a willingness to act on truth.” By Elder L. Lionel Kendrick of the seventy.


I enjoyed the spirit today that i felt in that ward, and it makes me so excited to finally go to a singles ward. Everything happens for a reason, and i know there is a reason i am where i am today! Wish me luck!
