So I have officially decided to start a blog! Slowly, I join my generation in the normal technological world. I still have a flip phone and not a smart phone, showing that I have more thresholds to cross.
I've spent the last hour online reading about the apostles visiting Africa. I am getting so excited to go! It's coming up so soon. I already love the people. One of the thoughts I had from the Relief Society broadcast yesterday was that we love people more as we serve them. I guess I'll find out how much more love my heart can handle:) I'm excited to learn from the people I meet there as well. One of my favorite things about traveling is spending time with the locals. We all have different life experiences and there is so much we can learn from each other. One thing I've read about the Africans is that they are so happy even though they don't have much materially. They are so grateful for that which they do have. Sometimes I fall into the trap of entitlement. But we are really so much happier with an attitude of gratitude.
Here is a quote I like from Elder Nelson: “Education is the difference between simply wishing you could do something of value and being able to do something for your fellow men.” I've been thinking a lot about education lately as well. I'm considering going back to school. I want to do all I can with the time that I have.
I love journaling, so I am excited to get this whole blog thing figured out. Well, it is pretty self explanitory, but one day I'll take the time to cutify it and all.
I'm getting very excited to listen to general conference!
A few other thoughts of late:
How I totally loved the movie Pitch Perfect...I totally got pitch slapped:)
How Taylor Swift speaks to mine and every girls heart
What would it be like to live in the South
I wish I had tickets to go to the Shins concert
I want to see fall leaves
And on that note, I'm gonna call it a night.
