Hello all! Yet another week has come and gone. And with so many fun things!
Last Sunday I went to a CES Fireside where Elder Oaks spoke. It was so wonderful! On Tuesday, for our devotional, I got to listen to Elder Neil L. Anderson. So it was a great way to start off the week! Both of them spoke about Honesty, Truth, and Tolerance. I learned so much but one quote that I really like is from Elder Oaks. He was talking about how we must be tolerant with others, especially where our beliefs are not the same. Then he went on to say that we should not be tolerant with ourselves. We need to be strong with ourselves. To "be the one who makes a stand for right, even if you stand alone."
As far as classes go, it's just been the same old thing. I love all my classes and I love getting to learn in this environment. My physical science teacher started off class on Wednesday by saying that the chapter we're covering in class isn't supposed to be understood... by anyone. He doesn't understand it, another professor (of quantum mechanical physics) doesn't understand it, you're not going to understand it. Just except it as truth and don't ask questions. So science is definitely new and interesting. :)
Friday night I got together with some friends and we played some "Minute to Win it" games and had a lot of fun! :)

On Saturday I attended World of Dance (a show put on by the BYU Department of Dance) It was really good and had all types of dancing and music in it. :) That night I went to the "Big Game" (aka: BYU vs Utah State football game) Clayton Anderson invited me a few months ago to sit with his group of friends at games. I did and it was a lot of fun. I ended up sitting next to his roommate who was really nice and helped me get into the game a bit more... only to be twice as crushed when the score turned out to be BYU-10 Utah-54. But it was still fun enough. But until I can be convinced otherwise... I'm of the opinion that football is not all it's cracked up to be.
Today I played the piano in relief society... songs I've never played... with no practice before hand... but it went well enough haha. :) This morning I saw Bethany and Ryan and the kids for a few minutes. It was nice to see some family. Then tonight I saw my friend Chapman and his mom from Wenatchee. They were driving through on their way home from a wedding and stopped by just for about 10 minutes. It was also nice to see them and get to talk a little bit. Tonight I have ward prayer and then TUNNEL SINGING!!! :D
That's all I got for this week. Still love and miss you lots. <3
