Blessings!

This past week I have had so many little blessings that I feel I should write them down just so I can never forget and come back to the memories when I need it! For one of my Family Seminar classes we need to have 20 hours of volunteer hours. Erika works at Legacy Health Care as the volunteer coordinator! This summer when I was unemployed I went with her to a couple of activities. Little did I know this would help me now! So I gave her a call and she was so nice to hook me up! She put me with a older man at an assisted living facility. He is the sweetest man ever! I have only visited him twice now but I can tell this man is going to change my life! He has alzheimers so I probably have heard all the stories I am going to hear. . . twice. But the way he lights up when he tells them is great! He even lights up when I ask if I can visit with him! (even though he has no idea who I am) I visited him last Saturday. When I arrived they were playing BINGO. So I sat at a table with Ray and another man. Ray was pretty good at the game he understood the concept I would just have to remind him to put the chips over the number. The other man at the table was a different story however! He just did not understand where the numbers were coming from, and how I knew to put the chip on his paper. See he thought that the chips had the number on them, and he just could not find the number! Poor man! I was just trying not to laugh the whole time! Even when he got a BINGO he just didn't understand because all the chips were in a row but they were not the same color! I wish the picture was how our BINGO game went but it defiantly was not! By the end he just kept saying how amazing I was at this game! I just explained to him that I have practiced this game a lot and it was a very hard game so he shouldn't feel to bad! I couldn't stop smiling all day it was just what I needed! That afternoon I also attended by second cousins baptism. His Grandpa was able to baptize and confirm him. It was really nice to feel the spirit that was there and to be with my family to support him in his decision. I hope he continues to choose wisely and stay close to the gospel. Overall this weekend was a good one and something I needed!

Scuba, Bowling, Chastity Belt!

Apparently the only thing that I am going to be writing about is my weekends! Friday we started our scuba class! I will admit I wasn't that excited at first because for the next 5 Fridays Scuba West is where I will be Friday nights from 6 to 10. However, it was really fun! We were in the class for two hours but then we were in the pool for the other two! It was way fun! We practiced some different skills, but then got to just swim around and play! When we got done with class some people had rented out the Sportsplex and were going to play soccer. Now soccer is not my sport, and I had a test Saturday so I stayed home to study! Well let's just say I fell asleep on the floor (which I never do) and on my stomach (which I never do)!!! But man it was so comfortable!
Saturday I took my astrology tests (bombed it). Then me Kiah, and Tom went bowling in Salt Lake. We met up with Jeff and Missy. They had tom's nieces and some of his cousins! It was a little out of control but it was pretty fun! No worries I broke one hundred both times and that is GREAT for me! After bowling we came back to my house made some oreo-banana shakes and hit up the tub it felt good!
Sunday we had a very interesting talk in church. The past two weeks we have been talking about sin and repentance, little did I know what it was leading up to! Sunday was ward conference. So we had sacrament then all the relief society met together in the chapel. They explained that in sacrament they had been leading up to today in wanting to talk about the law of chastity and talking to the bishop. They talked about where the line is and crossing over the line. After I got over the awkwardness of it all, it really was a great lesson. It made you very great full for the gospel and the tender mercies of the Lord. I am so happy that this gospel is so forgiving and no matter how great the mistake you can always be forgiven and come back to the straight and narrow! I guess our bishopric really know what they are doing after all! ;) Back to school tomorrow hopefully this will be the week that I get back into the school-mode!
