Weeks go by so quickly in Spring Term. Already we are halfway through. Let's see, this week I had my midterms for my folk dance classes. I had more projects for Drawing. Friday night my roommates and I watched "Aladdin" and made smores in the oven. We made them with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. So good! Oh and Friday right before my my dance class, I had the most epic fall ever. So there is this hill right outside my apartment, and instead of going around it on the steps, I usually skip down it because it is faster. Well, Friday it was raining...So I took about two steps and all of a sudden I was on my back and I slid all the way to the bottom. It hurt pretty badly, and it was pretty embarrassing, but also super funny.
Unfortunately, my hip hurt pretty badly from the incident, like I pinched a nerve in my hip, and I was limping all the way to Dance. I wasn't able to dance, and afterwards my teacher took me to the physical therapist for the dance majors and she said that my hips were out of place and a fall like mine could have pinched a nerve. So she put my hips back in place. So weird feeling, let me tell you.
Saturday was a mini reunion with all the people still around from my previous ward. That was so nice to see them again! Two of my old roommates, Alicia and Carolina, came down and it was so great to be reunited again, to listen to the crazy. I seriously got in the car with Alicia and Carolina and felt this overwhelming feeling of "home." We all went up to some canyon and roasted marshmallows over a fire. It didn't last very long though. It seemed like we had barely been there and then a park ranger told us it was almost curfew. So we had to pack up and leave. But Alicia, Carolina, and I went back to our old apartment and we just stood outside it and looked up at our window. It was so weird, because that had been our home for a year and it felt like we were supposed to go up those stairs and all would be back to normal. It was hard to say goodbye to Alicia and Carolina again.
Well today I gave my first Gospel Doctrine lesson. I think I bored them all. I tried to make it interesting and to keep everyone interactive, but only the same couple people would participate. I could see some people asleep in the back and others doing the bobble-head. One girl told me she really enjoyed my lesson, so I'm glad at least one person seemed to get something out of it. I enjoyed learning about the lesson, I just think I bored everyone else.
After church today, my roommates and I watched "The Best Two Years." I'd never seen it before. I really liked it! And it's gotten me thinking a lot about missions. I think it would be really cool to serve a mission. Super scary, but so rewarding. I always thought, oh if I decide to go on a mission, I hope I go somewhere like temple square, because the thought of going tracting, and in a different language in a different country, would be terrifying. But watching "The Best Two Years" made me excited to share the gospel like that. I live in pretty much an All-Mormon society at the moment, living on-campus, and so I don't get the opportunity to share the gospel. Watching the missionaries go door to door and preach the gospel made me want to do it too. I wish I could go to a foreign country and learn another language and immerse myself in the Lord's work. I don't know if I ever will go on a mission, but I definitely want to at least go on a couple's mission, and I encourage all young men to go on a mission. It is seriously one of the greatest decisions you will ever make.
Well, that's all I got for tonight. Goodnight world! Hope you have sweet dreams.
I still have never watched "The Best Two Years." But if you want to go on a mission, I think you would do really well!
