Saying good bye

Right before I left, we had a little Bon Voyage, Birthday going away party. My closest friends came and we just enjoyed taking, eating and basically reminiscing and saying goodbye as most of us just graduated and going on missions or college. It was such a nice night and I loved having them all together. I'm so mad and sad I didn't get a picture!!!!! But just take my word for it, they're the best, more genuine, nice group of teenagers you could find. I'm so proud of the boys for going on missions and for the girls headed to college, especially since I saw first hand the amount of work and dedication it took to get them where they are. BYU, U of U, Weber, USU and UVU are very lucky to be getting these friends of mine. Not to mention all the places worldwide that are gaining my friends as amazing missionaries. Saying good bye was so hard, but luckily the next day I was off to Europe and had quite the experience to keep my mind off it. But still, when I texted my friend Evyn about the whole ordeal, he told my other friend Nate to call and make sure I was okay and talk to me. And Emily sent me hilarious DMs to make me laugh. Also, BIG NEWS-Emily is coming to Europe with me and my parents in November, thanks to the extra miles we got because of the cancelations. I'm so excited, especially since we'll have something to look forward to being 4 hours away from each other!!
Yesterday a last goodbye was said over Skype. Thank goodness for technology! Evyn is leaving tomorrow and I can't believe it! We've been in the same ward for forever, so I feel like so much has led up to this. The Sunday school lessons, mutual nights, youth retreats, etc. And it's so exciting to think that the next time we see each other I'll be a returned missionary too! Huzzah! I'm so excited for my mish :)
we talked for over an hour on Skype them finally said goodbye. He's going to the four corners mission, so it'll be super easy to mail stuff :). It was sad to say bye because so much will be different in 3 years, but all the changes will be good, so it's okay.
good luck Elder Conrad!

Good News

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...

Why I Am Choosing To Serve A Mission

Although this is very difficult to articulate, dare I even say impossible, I am going to try! I am choosing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I will serve for eighteen months. I do not choose where I spend those eighteen months, or even in what language I will speak during that time. I will take a break from school, from my dancing and leave my family. It is a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make because I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ lived and died for me so that I can repent, learn to love fully, and become like him. To become better and to learn during my lifetime. I know that he died for every one . I know that he knows each of us, individually, and wants us to be happy. Heavenly Father also loves and knows each of us. He has guided and directed me numerous times, in ways that cannot be explained without fully recognizing His divine hand. The relationships, experiences, trials, and blessings I ...

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...
