Women's Conference!!

 This weekend was spectacular!!!! I had the opportunity to go to Women's Conference in PERSON at Salt Lake City yesterday!!! I've never been in the same room as the First Presidency before and it was just an amazing feeling to know that a phophet of God was in the room. All of the speakers were excellent as well as the music, and the Second Councelor in the Relief Society Presidency made me cry my eyes out talking about the Atonement. Both her talk and President Benson's meant so much to me and made me feel so special and at peace. I am so grateful for this opportunity I had to go with my ward and I am so happy that I was able to partake of that spirit in person. :)
 So many women!!!!!
I love the Salt Lake City Temple!! (But I <3 the Mesa Temple the most)

Brigham City Temple Open House

 
*sigh* I love temple trips, they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Although the entrance to this temple was underground (which was pretty weird to me) it sure was a beauty outside and in!!
Since we travelled by school buses filled with young adults it felt just like the last open house I went to with the youth in my home stake. I'm so grateful to be here at BYU and to have the opportunity to go to the temple anytime since the Provo Temple is a few blocks from my dorm. Being able to wake up everyday and feel the spirit on campus where ever I go is truly the greatest blessing I could ever have as I study and continue to grow each day, for the next 4 years. ^_^

First Month at Brigham Young University

So now that my roomates have started blogging I suppose I should give this another go since I'm dreadful at journaling and being at BYU I should probably get better at this. Classes have been great so far, Astronomy is AMAZING! Although this next week might be tough with my first couple exams. BUT tonight is Stake Conference and tomorrow my stake is going to the Brigham City Temple open house, so I'll get an extra spiritual boost for the week!! ^_^

For references sake, heres my class list:
Rel A 121 (BOM part 1- so far I've learned that if I'm not honest I'll be thrust down to Hell >.>)
Math 302 (Calculus 2 w/ Engineering <------crazy hard sometimes!!!!)
Physics 191 (kind of an odd class but it talks about careers in physics)
Physics 121 (Physics part 1<-----The teacher is insane!!! He dumped water ALL over the room yesterday showing us what happens to a bucket of water in centripetal acceleration if the speed is too slow XD)
Physics 127 (ASTRONOMY!! Which is in the planetarium!!! aka: my new happy place)
ASL 102 (ASL part 2 which is a bit intimidating since the teacher is Deaf but it isn't that bad, thanks Mrs. K for being such a great teacher in high school!!!!!!)

And there we have it! My awesome schedule with buckets of homework! But it really is amazing here with weekly devotionals, FHE groups, ward prayer, and just having prayer at the beginning of class! the spirit here is so strong all the time and it is so easy to make friends if you just put in the effort :P

 
 
 
 
 
 
Anywho, next week is the Brigham City Temple dedication, and I got my first temple reccommend which makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! So I've decided it's pretty much guaranteed to be a good week!!!
