Hey Yall,
Wow, school is pretty interesting! Having 6 classes can sure tire a person out, but never fear. Dale is always up for a challenge! This week has been a blast to know how many people are achieving so many great things down here in Provo. Even though I don't see all of it, I know it's happening. Friends are taking on their classes with renewed confidence, mission brothers are adjusting to their own lives outside of Chile and Dale is taking the time to make some changes.
Why is he making these changes? What are these changes? Well, the answer to the second question you'll just have to pay attention if you want to know the answer. The first question: why is he making these changes? Well, there is a phenomenon happening down here is Provo for Dale that is both good and bad. There is a sense of being alone down here, despite of how many people around me are great people and I know them well. It is necessary to clarify that this feeling is not loneliness, just a sense of being alone. This is good because it makes me realize how many things I need to do in order to keep my head above water. Some of the changes are changes I need to be making to prepare for my future as an employee, husband, father and brother.
What I've realized is that the Lord gave me all of this time for a reason. He called me to serve a mission and come back to worldly life in the month of October on the specific day that I did because I needed a couple of months before school to get enough in order so I didn't freak out and give up my first week back. He also gave me wonderful friends who make the transition worth it and that help me learn what I need to know.
Being alone entails that I don't have my parents to tell me what to do every day, most of my friends have their own lives and are already on top of everything and that some things I left back at home I don't need any more. Being alone means I have less to worry about for awhile.
The best part about being alone? Not actually being alone.
