Hey minha família!
So when I was on my mission, I remember what a positive response I got from the weekly emails I was sending home. I felt almost as if you all were there with me, and I really appreciated your support, comments, and following of my life.
I am starting this blog because I want to stay connected to you all, even if we don't get the chance to talk as often as we would like. So I guess I'll just give you a quick overview as to what's going on in my life, and you don't have to respond or anything- I just want you to feel connected to me and the important things that are going on with me, and most importantly, the influence that Heavenly Father is having in my life.
So, first off, as I'm sure you all well know (as if I didn't talk about it enough... :) ) Katie left on her mission about two and a half weeks ago (and I'm sure a veteran counter such as Dad could tell me exactly how long it is until she gets home... just subtract six months from my time a year and a half ago!) Since then, I have been trying to turn myself to Christ in every way possible. As has been told me, and as I have hated to admit, I have quite a bit of growing up to do before I'm actually ready to get married. Much of that includes good habits and skills- being a member of the work force, managing finances, being clean and managing my schoolwork. However, an even more vital part of my preparation includes preparing myself spiritually. There is so much that can go wrong in a marriage that only Christ can save two natural people from falling apart at the first disagreement.
And Heavenly Father has already helped me so much! He is helping me to heal a lot of stuff that was created by my relationship, which is vital whether Katie and I stick together or not. He's also helping me to heal a lot of baggage I hardly knew existed! The downside is that my productivity level tends to drop when I am dealing with said baggage. Yet, as seems to often happen, when I'm doing what He wants me to do, He's got me covered. I took a Differential Equations test a while ago and received a 62%- worst grade I've ever received in the Testing Center. Well, two weeks later, it seemed like everyone had done poorly, but I was still discouraged- I wanted to understand the material! And after some miskeying was cleared up and the written part was added in, I found that I had a 90%! (pre-curve, of which there will certainly be one) I also scored a 93% on my most recent Portuguese test, which I didn't deserve, and a 92% in Joseph Smith History, and a 95% in Complex Analysis.
That just leaves the beast which is Abstract Algebra. I have a B at best in that class, and a midterm on Tuesday. I will really be needing Heavenly Father's help to get through this, so keep me in your prayers! I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for me and that He is working with me so that I can help Him in His work to serve others.
Have a great week, everyone!
