Okay first....
I've never truly understood what it mean to mourn with those that mourn and comfort those that stand in need of comfort until now. Yes i've always tried to be the the best friend to people that I could be, but I've only been okay at the comforting. I can't go into details, but a dear friend of mine lost a part of her family. I stayed up late with her for awhile just crying with her. I know everythings going to be okay, but thats not the point. Ya know, i've had a hard time this semester, but there are people going through a lot worse things then I am. One of my dear friends is having back problems and theres a small chance she will have to have surgery. I just wish I could be there, and see shes okay with my own eyes. I know she is though... It's tough being here at school when so much is going on at home. Both exciting and sad. My best friend comes home from his mission in less then a week, and i'm not going to be there. My neice and nephew are at home. My nephew is starting to learn how to say my name. How awesome is that?!
The friends I used to spend so much time with here are all pairing off... and I'm..... not. lol but I guess i'm used to that. I know everythings going to be okay, I don't want anyone to think i'm really upset or anything. Sometimes its just nice to say whats on your mind. I've been blessed in so many ways out here, I just worry a lot about whats going on. I'm blessed to have my brother and sister in law out here with me. I'm blessed with awesome roommates. The cool thing about that is we were talking a few days ago, and all of us were praying over the summer for good roommates. I really love those girls. I'm blessed with great teachers. One of my teachers is absolutely insane. The other day he jumped up on a desk screaming. It was awesome!
So I have this calling in relief society. I'm the compassionate service leader. I guess at home, theres more to do, but here at school, it pretty much means I get to be everyones friend. Isn't that awesome! I'm excited for it but also nervous I won't do a good job. I think this calling is probably one of the biggest blessings this semester. I'm excited for it.
