Life Goes On

I just got off the phone with Sister Jensen (my mission president's wife) and had to write before procrastinating yet again! Amongst the many random topics discussed were record keeping. She mentioned that Elder Scott actually has 3 'journals': 1 for the public, 1 for family and close friends, and 1 for personal ONLY. There are some things so sacred and personal that we don't share them with anyone, but keeping a record of these things is our way of showing Heavenly Father that it is important to us. That's when I realized that I need to be doing better at my record keeping, because I have been given some pretty special things/experiences lately and I don't want to forget them!
This week has been full of fun little experiences and great growth! Sister Foy and I have been catching up and having little mini-companionship studies...oh how I've missed that part of the mission! It's amazing how much more we can learn when we share our studies and inquires with others! I absolutely LOVE this gospel!!! It gives me the peace I need while attempting to get a life...which seems to be a longer process than I imagined :S There's just something about knowing that you're along the right path, despite the fact that I can't see everything ahead of me...it's a little too foggy for that...I know that I'm headed the right way. Heavenly Father is kind enough to leave little hints here and there along the road.
I FINALLY heard back from Wells Fargo yesterday...the managers have been out sick all week. They filled the 2 open positions, but they'd like to keep my information for a position that will be opening soon. They claim they really liked me and would like to contact me when that opens. Office Max is more promising. He talked with me as though he had already given me the position. He will be talking with the managers that already interviewed me to see if they'd like me on the floor or in the print shop. If they do put me in the print shop he is going to work something out so they can use me on the floor as well...apparently he thinks I'm a good saleman and have a good computer background. We shall see what happens :)

A little taste of heaven :)

This weekend has given me another little taste of heaven! Thursday I made some cookies for missionary companions still in the field and called to get updated addresses before sending them off (this week was transfers). When trying to find out if Sister Foy had been transferred or not I heard from a member that she went home...I immediately thought the member had just misunderstood, but in talking with the ward mission leader in the ward had the news confirmed. I immediately began stalking the Foy family in every possible way but one, I did not YET go to there house, only 15 miles away! I decided enough was enough and I would have to wait a day before going to that point....she called back :) We talked and talked and talked and then hung out the following day. Being with mission companions is a little taste of heaven! It's especially great when you live close and are able to see each other over and over again :)
Today one of my roommates took me on a hike...my first AZ hike! It was absolutely beautiful!!! It was an average hike, only took about 1 1/2-2 hours, nothing big and crazy. The view was great though and the weather was perfect...I'm guessing 80/90s with a nice little breeze as we approached the top and all the way back down too. What a sight to behold up at the top! I LOVE it down here in AZ!
