I drove out to Palmyra today with a few of my friends that I have been super close friends with in my Stake. Unfortunately it rained all day, which really stinks but over all it was a great time. There are a lot more pictures uploaded on my Facebook of the little trip too! 


I love driving out there, which is only an hour and a half away which I have promised myself today that every two weeks I'm going to make a trip out to Palmyra to visit the sites. I've realize how amazing it is to be able to visit and hear something different every time. I remember in Testimony meeting last Sunday at the YSA branch, a lot of people were talking about how our testimony strengthens when we hear other people's testimonies. I know for myself, that is so true. Hearing Sister Vaterlaus talk to us while giving us a tour, really reminded myself of me. I really could connect with her and relate to her.

It's absolutely amazing to know that such miraculous things happened so close to where I live and I need to take advantage of that. I am so very blessed.

Driving home today was really hard for me for some reason. I felt really alone and extremely sad. I still feel that way, to be honest. For some reason, I just really want and feel the need to be around missionaries as much as I can. I think it's because in my area and branch there aren't a lot of girls and guys my age that I feel like I can really connect with and have the same interests as and also share the love of the gospel. I really can't wait for him to get off of his mission. He is everything I have dreamed about and this is going to be so extremely hard not being able to talk to see him, but I know the Lord needs him right now and that I have my whole life ahead of me to be with him. 


It seems that the only way I can get through my week is to be able to know that there is a church activity coming up or something like that. I'm trying my hardest to keep my head up lately and I know with the power of a personal relationship with my Heavenly Father, I can do anything.
