Welcome, Welcome, Sabbath Morning

Dear Readers,

Sunday has become my new favorite day. It is impossible to say when this occurred, but Sunday is definitely at the top of the list now. The day is normally filled with a million things to do such as tunnel singing, devotionals, church meetings and home-teaching. All starts off well by getting up early and enjoying the morning silence and beauty.

That is how my Sunday started out yesterday. I woke up and rode my bike around before coming back to a certain spot and slipping in and out of consciousness for a couple of hours. Around 12:30 I got around to putting the ward bulletin together for church at 1:30, which consisted of three wonderfully spirit-filled hours. Sacrament Meeting was great, but bittersweet. Brother Kunz and his wife will be leaving us due to the fact that he is being released from the Bishopric. We will now have Brother Adamson and his wife to be part of our ward family. While they were all sharing their testimonies, it was great to sit there and write down the things that came to my mind about the future and about things going on in my life right now. I feel like there was so much direction given in that meeting.

After Sunday School and Priesthood I took a quick nap before going off to a Sign-Language group. I became interested in the group through a friend who was talking about it this week and I decided to go. It was very educational and I'll probably return next week to practice more.

Then came ward devotional and home-teaching. To finish off the day was tunnel singing, of course. I can't express how much I love going to tunnel singing. It is a great way to just let go and express love for my Savior. I highly recommend going if you are in the Provo area.

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

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...
