On friday after work i got to talk to mcneilie one of my companions from my mission who i love...life is busy so we dont get to talk much but when we do it just makes me happy to have her in my life and im grateful for her...drove with my mom to take my sisters to mormon prom and it was nice to spend some time with her on the way there just to be able to talk...we work such different hours that some times it feels like i dont see her as much as i would like to thru out the week...we went home and beca came over then me, her and brett went and picked up the girls from the dance...seemed like they had a good time...i love my siblings and love with we can spend time together...they both looked so pretty...i love that they wore modest dresses too...great example to me...looking back i wish i would have worn a modest dress to prom...they truly are good examples to me..they even took friends from school to the dance...
i was so proud of myself i exercised 4 days this week...that is alot for me with being so busy im trying to be better..now if i could only stop eatting sweets...its so hard for me i swear...ha ha...ever since my mission...it sucks how much sweets people give u after meals and now its like i always have to have something sweet i hate it but this is a new week and im gonna try to be stronger...we will see if i can do it...
yesterday i made puerto rican food for my friend marina cause she got hermission call to go there and i wanted her to try the food...i miss it so much..it never quite tastes like sister nieves but hopefully the more i make it the better it will taste...=)
church was great i love hearing testimonies and i love how we can just feel the sprit and be uplifted by others..I went with caitie and naomi winters to a youth fireside...one of her friends spoke about her mission and the spirit was so strong...it made me cry so hard as i thought about my own mission...i feel so blessed i was able to serve a mission and sometimes i just have days where i miss it so much...it makes me cry when i think of the blessings of it and the ways i learned and grew and just how it blessed my life...she talked about how she loved her time studying...and actually a rm sister at church mentioned the same thing how she misses studying the scriptutres...like shes good about reading them but not studying them...as i was at this fireside it made me cry more just cause i started thinking about how i havent really studying since i have been home..ive have always hated reading so its hard for me but i know i need to set aside time to be taught by the scriptures and thats only gonna come as i give myself that time to study so thats a new goal i have...ha ha...anyways I guess thats what life is all about right...living, learning and trying to become better...
