Back in Rexburg...


Oh life is good here in Rexburg! I was pretty dang excited to come back into town. It was really hard to say bye to all of the people I became such good friends with on the trip. We ate in the Presidents room at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and watched the Testaments.

Then of course we had a sweet dance party on the bus on the way home. Oh yeah!

I was excited to be back with students, and in Idaho. I get to go to the temple every week. It is so inspiring to see the baptistery FULL all of the time. They rotate us through so efficiently, but at some point they just have to start turning people away. President Christensen (the Temple President) spoke to us yesterday at Devotional. He said that it is full every day from 6 am to 9 pm. That is sooo cool!

I loved General Conference! Elder Bednar's talk about prayer was incredible and what President Monson said about choosing to be happy now--not waiting till the trials are over really hit home. We really are blessed to have Prophets of God. They really are inspired...

oh I love my life!
