The Most Amazing Experience

This is the most amazing picture of the Rexburg temple i have found. I actually stole it from my facebook friend (and real life friend) Neil but i don't think he knows.

I had the most amazing thing happen to me. As I was driving home from work (it is about a 1/2 an hour drive) I called my best friend bethany (i know driving and talking on the phone not a good idea) just to catch up and talk. We got onto the subject of how inspiration comes and how we know it is the spirit. This is where the cool part happens. The spirit came into my mind and told me what to say. the words just flowed from my mouth. It was amazing. Never before have a felt like that. I am so blessed and humbled to know that i could be the Lords tool. I also am so glad that i could be worthy enough to have the spirit in my life.

So I finally went to the doctor. My foot is not fractured but i have torn ligaments on the inside and outside of my ankle and also in my foot. no fun. Now i get to where this very attractive (actually not really attractive at all) boot. Although it does have a pretty cool bubble thing that if you press it the boot fills up with air and goes tighter on your foot.

I am just glad that I no longer have to have crutches. They were a pain and really actually hurt. I am hoping that my dance teachers understand and let me stay in the class. Cross your fingers everyone.

Well today is Tuesday and I am yet again humbled by so many out there who have harder lives than me. I also admire those you can play the violin. I have been trying and I have been failing. Why is it that I am starting this now instead of the 5th grade.*sigh* But if I don't learn now I never will. I can barely play two measures with out messing up. But I will get this down. I don't know how long it will be but I will get it.

Last night my ward got the opportunity to have FHE with President Clark. Wow is that man amazing or what. From the moment he started to talk I was impressed to ask this question. But I fought that inspiration. If I did ask the question then everyone in my ward would know what I was struggling with and I do not like people knowing that. (that is something i need to work on) But I stood up and asked "why is it so important that we let others serve us?" Oh man did President Clark put me in my place. He told me how others need to care for each other. It is part of our eternal purpose here on this earth. He continued saying that if we do not let people serve us then we have pride in our hearts.

Wow that was a kick in the butt let me tell you. Lets just say that today when people asked if i needed help i let them help.

My grateful list

Ok So i feel like my last blog was full of complaints and that just kept bugging me for the last two hours. I would like to say things that I am grateful for. (keep in mind that these are not in any particular order)

1. The gospel

2. Amazing roommates who help me so much in life.

3. My family

4. The person who just helped me by carrying my food cause i have to use crutches to walk

5. My FHE brothers. They continually take care of me and will do practically anything for me.

6. BYUI and the standards that I live while I am here

7. Trials- they help you progress in life, yes they may be hard but they do help.

8. The scriptures and how they help me resist temptation

9. Music- It relaxes me when needed gets me ready for a run, (when i am off crutches) and makes me feel like I have talent when i sing.

10. Friends because they always make my day with their funny comments, random phone calls or huge smiles.

11. My body- My Heavenly Father gave me this beautiful body that is strong both physically and mentally.

There is much much much more but now i have to get started on Homework

My Physical Trial

Walking to my world dance class last thursday I did not notice that there was a patch of ice up ahead and of course being the person I am slipped on it. Well now it is Monday and my foot is still swollen and I have to be on crutches. In the mornings my foot looks almost normal but by the end of the day I think it has more resemblance to a hobbit foot than my own. (unless of course you think I have hobbit feet lol). About 10-15 people have come up to me telling me to go to the doctor. I probably should but really I don't like visiting the doctor. And I hate spending the money. What can I learn from this. Well I have been told to that I need to learn how to except help from other. But I hate that. I love being independent. I love being able to say that i could do that all on my own. This is going to be hard.

The picture that goes with this by the way is me being bored and playing with photobooth on my computer so it really has nothing to do with my situation. But I will put a picture of me on my crutches later.
