18 Months an Angel: The Sequel

From Tuesday to Tuesday a lot has occurred! Shall we begin? Tuesday: Country and Latin dancing As all of you have probably noticed, I enjoy dancing! After getting out of my 251 English class I headed over to dance. When I got there and as I was setting my stuff down I say someone out of the corner of my eye staring at me, a shocked expression written on her face. None other but Madeline Hawkins, one of the sisters who served with me in Buenos Aires and a CCM buddy. She ditched momentarily the guy she was dancing with and tackled me in a hug. It was so great to see her! We both had a great time country dancing :) I stayed for the latin dancing, and was able to help out a guy who was just learning. He picked up quickly and was a pro at dips! I danced with a couple very talented latin guys and managed to keep up, although we were all exhausted as the dancing ended at 10. Wednesday: Country swing date After getting out of class at 7:40... which was extremely interesting as usual, I h...

Hola mis amigos! Alright, let's take a look into this last week :) We're going to run through a Thursday temple trip, a Friday visit to the Provo City Center Temple open house, a Saturday temple trip/Walmart trip/International Cinema/Korean food/Mockingjay 2!, a Sunday meeting/Ward Prayer/movie night, and a Monday frozen tupper/frozen rain/FHE! After classes on Thursday I headed back to my apartment, where I was planning on heading straight to the temple. However, I was having a lot of trouble focusing/my thoughts were all over the place, so I decided to get my Book of Mormon reading done first. As I was doing so I read a verse that said "Go", and felt quite distinctly that I needed to go to the temple right then! I was in the middle of a verse, but the feeling was strong, so off I went. I've gotten into the habit of bringing a question with me when I go to the temple, and this time was no different. As I was walking up the sun was setting, casting a beautiful g...

Hi friends! Another quick week: hard to believe we're already halfway through February! Ok, let's get caught up on the week shall we? I was able to go to the temple twice (once with Emily:), take my 16 credit Spanish test, watched Shakespeare's Twelfth Night in about 4 different versions, go sledding hardcore, play board games, attend ward prayer, and be an amateur editor to earn my pizza, as well as attending the Adam's Family Home Evening:) ALSO, Country/Latin Dancing last night! I went to the temple on Thursday and Saturday. On Thursday I went with Emily:) It was a long cold walk, a peaceful session, followed by a very short walk, as some kind fellow temple-goers offered to take us to our respective locations. Blessings! My Spanish test wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, and I finished it in 35 minutes! After that I got together with my English group to discuss our project for Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal", followed by the 1988 version...

Hi guys! So, I know a lot of people wanted me to continue blogging after "18 months an angel", or my mission blog. Hopefully this blog will help keep all of you up to date as to my life :) It won't be quite as structured as my mission blog, and will contain pieces of the writing I'm working on as well. Let's cover just this last weekend to start. For those of you who don't know I'm studying up at BYU in Utah as an English major. I'm taking 18 credit hours/8 classes which keeps me busy! Those 8 classes consist of 3 english classes (shocker, I know;), 1 spanish class, 2 dance classes, and 2 religion classes. I'm also working as a secretary at the Faculty Center in the library here on campus. This last weekend I had the great opportunity to eat at both an Italian and Argentine restaurant (vamos Argentina!), as well as attend a devotional with President Holland and his wife with Lindsey Roberts, go through the Salt Lake Temple, and have dinner at...
