thus far...

my mum tells me lots of people from my ward in magnolia have been asking about me and how i'm doing. the truth? I'M DOING DO GREAT!!!!:):) for real, i LOVE it here! a couple posts ago i was talking about how i was homesick...well i found the remedy for homesickness at college. wanna hear? FHE families. when my sister and friends used to tell me about their FHE families, i thought they were just some people you hang out with every monday night. they're not. they're so much more than that. i hang out with my FHE family ( well, most of them ) every single weekend. friday night, saturday night, sunday at church and monday night. the connection i have with them is what got me out of that rut i was in.

which reminds me about that calling i mentioned earlier :) i'm FHE leader!!!! there's an FHE dad and an FHE mom. i'm the mom!!! the dad is josh which is the best because josh and i get along so well which makes our calling just the best thing ever! we're in charge of FHE on monday nights. we assign who does what and all that jazz. i love my calling more than strawberries and whipped cream (which is a bunch and then some)!!  there are 16 people in my group, my apartment of 6 girls, a dorm of 4 girls, and an apartment of 6 guys. josh and jared came over today to give thais a blessing because she was tossing her cookies (we found out it was because she ate bad strawberries) and i realized how good it is to have guys that you can just call up and ask for help. it's different in home ward because all the guys are married with kids and you don't wanna take them away from that, but here, we actually love having them come over for whatever reason. i could go on about these amazing people forever, but i won't. so for now i'm just gonna go get ready for bed because i'm super duper tired.

by the way, thais and i have a zillion and two videos that we've been making since school started and i couldn't get them to post on this thing till now so be ready for lots of videos over the next few days! gotta catch up!
