I woke up and set my alarm an hour later. When I finally dragged myself out of bed and stepped out of my apartmnt it was SNOWING IN APRIL!!! Just lightly so I was able to get here and eat the last of my 2 oranges. I also had an avocado, strawberry Greek yogurt and one of my yummy Sunbelt Fudge dipped coconut granola bars. They are sooo good and sooo cheap. It is just 2.25 for a box of 10 from Walmart. I am so glad someone served them to us here so I could discover them.

That student FINALLY emailed me his paper without errors!!! I was beginning to wonder if it would EVER happen. I think that was maybe revision #13 I gave him. Hallelujah!!!

I've always known theoretically that my friend is good for me or why all the freaky divine support, BUT last night I REALLY knew that. I thought I'd have to wait years to get that, BUT IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS TO ME. 

May is going to be very busy. My mom's birthday AND my sister-in-law's birthday is on the 27th AND it's ALSO Memorial Day. Mother's Day is coming up as is ULA from the 1st to the 3rd in Provo. My graduation is on the 17th here in the Dairyland too. First I didn't care if my family came or not. I was just going to take pictures with my coworker friends BUT I don't want to be the loser without anyone there so I'm going to work on getting my family there now. I wonder when my appeals meeting will happen. I am resisting the urge to follow-up. That is so difficult for me.

2 Nephi 5
27 And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of happiness.


Out of all the verses in this chapter I like and relate to this one the most!!! Men are that they might have joy. In some ways it seems like a foolish pursuit but so many other things create that joy and happiness. Joy does not exist without struggles, trials and love. Living after the manner of happiness sounds nice. I feel happy now although there is still so much out there that will give me additional happiness and joy.

Come Unto Me - President Eyring
Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
We are under covenant both to lift up those in need and to be witnesses of the Savior as long as we live.

We will be able to do it without fail only as we feel love for the Savior and His love for us. As we are faithful to the promises we have made, we will feel our love for Him. It will increase because we will feel His power and His drawing near to us in His service.
As we give devoted service to Him, He draws closer to those we love in our families. Every time I have been called in the Lord’s service to move or to leave my family, I have come to see that the Lord was blessing my wife and my children. He prepared loving servants of His and opportunities to draw my family closer to Him.

This is the true Church of Jesus Christ. Only in the priesthood keys held by President Thomas S. Monson is the power for us to be sealed in families to live forever with our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We will on the Day of Judgment stand before the Savior, face to face. It will be a time of joy for those who have drawn close to Him in His service in this life. It will be a joy to hear the words: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” I so testify as a witness of the risen Savior and our Redeemer in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
