A very big apology to Kathy and Heather! You have probably given up on the Mirm's Nook. But, I'm back! At least for tonight! Life goes and goes. It'd be great if you could slice it into pieces and preserve the best parts for when you wanted them. I think I heard of a pill once...fact or fiction...not sure....but if taken it would allow you to relive any memory you wished and it would seem as real as your breakfast cereal! I don't know if I agree with that...it could probably go horribly wrong. But it's interesting concept isn't it? Switching gears...who are you voting for? I feel like the politics this year are all out of control. Sometimes I am scared about it, other times I try to forget it. When I try to take it head on I get confused and switch back and forth for various reasons. I like what Moroni had to say on his title of liberty. It'd be great if we could send that around and get people to rally and support it.
Anyway..for some Mirm gossip, I'm dating a 25 yr old r.m. (Mexico City, Mexico mission). His name is Paul Trappett. We met at the beginning of school and have been seeing each other for a while now! It's going good and I have to say it's always nice to have someone you like like you back! Perks include: He always opens the door for me, car and wherever we go. I like the old-fashioned type. He lets me know I'm important to him and I'm special! Gotta love that kind of respect. If you want more details, you'll have to wait!
School is great. I love my painting class and printmaking class. I especially love the painting class because I get "in the zone" while working. You forget about everything and escape somewhere peaceful in your mind. That's the best I can do to explain it.
I took a drive up the canyon with my dad to burn some documents and that was a great time. The colors were so beautiful! If you have some time it's worth just driving up there to see it around 6:30 to 7ish while the sun is setting. It really makes the colors more vibrant at that time of day.
I also have a good english class this semester. I think I'm going to post my personal narrative essay when I have a little time so you can comment on it. I need so help in revision because I want to submit it for a contest!
Tomorrow is my mission reunion! I can't believe it's almost General Conference. I've been reading this months Ensign and have felt such comfort from it. I was really feeling down about the world and our country's situation. We really are in a pickle! I think this has been the best Ensign ever for me! I really enjoy having the Holy Ghost present in my life. I think it is really the greatest gift I have every received.
How is everyone else out there? Have you had any neat spiritual experiences lately?
I've been trying to work on being a missionary. I was even called as a Ward Missionary! Paul is the WML...crazy..haha. I have a few attempts at inviting people but I wouldn't call it complete or a success yet. I hope to follow-up. I need to make plans!
Love you all!
