What a Good Weekend!

Well this weekend was a really great one! On Friday night Adria and I went to see a concert put on by the top orchestra, Collegiate, women and mens choirs. It was titled God's Everlasting Love and the text was written by Elder Bednar! He was actually there! We tried to follow him to say hello but we didn't get a chance there were so many people around. Needless to say it was absolutely beautiful.  It was so great to hear the spirit so strongly through the beautiful music.  After that we went out to dessert with Nick (who broke the lamp! haha) and went and watched a movie with his roommates. It was a very fun friday night.

Then on Saturday a group of us went on an adventure to the ice caves! It was freezing but a lot of fun! I love doing Idaho things :)

Then today church was great as usual. In our relief society we've been having a problem with the girls not showing up on time or even coming. Not me of course! So the bishop came to talk to us about the importance of the sabbath day. He said a few things that I really liked. He said to wake up on Sunday mornings as excited for the sabbath as you are on Christmas morning.  I definitely have learned to prepare for sundays on saturday nights by getting enough sleep and I can tell how much I learn more by making that extra effort. I felt confident that I am excited for church each sunday as I am for Christmas which made me feel really good.  Of course he had to talk about dating, and since I haven't been doing much of that this semester I really liked when he said "if he's not around focus on you.  Improve you.  Work on you.  Be the best YOU you can be."  That's what I've been telling myself so I don't get sad about not dating as much as I want to and it was really nice to have those feelings confirmed by someone that I admire and look up to so much.

In the end it was a great weekend. Full of great friends.  Two weeks I'll be in CA! yay! I can't wait to see my family!
