Unforgettable, that's what you are

Dear Reader,

Just as the title suggests, I have not forgotten about you. I have just been extremely busy, thus leading to a slow increase in number of days between posts about my life. However, I write to you today just to let you know that not a whole lot has happened in my life recently. Oh, except this:

MY BEST FRIEND RECEIVED A MISSION CALL TO SERVE IN MEXICO!

Yeah, I'm pretty excited about that. I hope my besties give me a copy of the video they made of my reaction to her call. My mind was blown! For some reason I thought she had told me she wasn't considering a full-time mission, so I was thinking she would just come back to school in the fall. That wasn't her plan at all! I'm so glad that she has made this decision to serve the Lord full time and help others find the joy that comes from the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

So, that's my life right now. My best friend is going on a mission and I'm working all the time. My life is pretty exciting, right? There are other things going on, of course. However, those things are not for me to be sharing because they are still progress and they don't need to be shared in the general public. All I will say is that I am surrounded by amazing people. They handle life with such vigor and great attitudes. It is awe-inspiring to see them work they do.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American." With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly. Am I really proud to be an American? Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
