so, to my surprise there are a lot of people weve met that know nothing about the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. they assume the funniest stuff about mormons, but they are usually genuinely interested and listen closely. but its hard sharing the message with them starting from scratch like the first thing i said we are christians. they also wanted to know then how we were different from other christians, catholics in particular. I told them it was our belief in God, Christ and the Holy Spirit as seperate beings. I mentioned the book of mormon as well, which is such a big part! I wish I could have explained fully, in an environment that I could teach more about doctrine, but half the conversation was explaining that not all mormons live in utah haha we really do need missionaries! but it was so cool to be able to tell her that mormons live every around the world, and that different cultures, languages and people exist within the church; Its also so cool to have things that set our church apart. I was also wearing my YW medallion so I could show her the temple. I love the church and everything about it, im so thankful to have it in my life and the blessings it gives me daily im reading general conference talks and its been such a huge blessing! i miss going to church every sunday but the light and truth can be felt anywhere more on this later when i can type a coherent thought haha au revoir

    Sounds like your mission is going to be just the thing. You'll love being able to share the gospel with people. T minus one year or less! I'm so happy you and Ruby are having these experiences in France and wherever else you end up!

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Help!

Since I'm making the important college decision in a few months, give me some advice! What was your favorite part of your college experience? Do you feel the one you attended was the best choice? Did you stick to the major you went in declaring? If you lived in a dorm, how was it? Thanks!

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...
