So life at Aspen Grove is over, I actually am going to miss it. I enjoy hard work and now feel like I am kind of not sure where my life is going to go, I mean, not like I was moving forward too much at Aspen grove, but at the same time, I felt like I was learning a lot about how to find joy in every experience. I also made a lot of great friends. I mean, great great people work there. So down to earth, and there is something about working with people, and working hard, that brings you together. I am gonna miss you guys! Not to mention being in such a beautiful place, there is a very special spirit there, I love it!
I wish I had something to do in my life that put me to work, especially for other people and not just myself. I was contemplating a mission, at the moment I have no way to pay for it...even called my bishop at home and he said that they are already supporting a missionary and can't afford it, and every time I try to move forward with it, I just can't bring myself to take the next step of filling out the papers. I don't know if I'm just scared and unwilling to sacrifice or afraid of the unknown/change, or if it isn't the right thing to do. So many decisions! But I want to be put to work and do what the Lord wants me to do! I will be glad to have EFY coming up!
I've been thinking a lot about sacrifice and wearing out your life every day for good, especially in service to other people, I have realized how much I have been wasting my life on myself, really. Oh how much we have been given, what can I give back? I feel like I have so much I want to give but don't know where to start.
I also started getting applications in for the U of U (GASP!!!!) to take some classes to get into my grad program (Child Life). I can't believe I am applying there.....seriously...LOL! But, they have a great program, actually they have the only program around here.....and I can't actually get into it until I get those classes and then an internship (480 hours). Don't worry, I will wear blue and white EVERY DAY!!!!
But now it is....do I go to school, or go on a mission? Hmm.........
On another note, we are getting our new ward started on a great note. It is really hard for me to reach out to people, being kinda shy.....even with people I've known for a long time....but.....I am so glad that my roommates are here and that we are working together, trying to really rope in the new people and get stuff started! We have all kinds of ideas for the ward, and since lots of people are moving out and lots moving in, we figured it is a great time to turn things around and make people feel more welcome and loved here.
Anywho, that is life at the moment! Oh yes, and I am going home for two weeks in about a week! yaaay!!
