Its Been a While

Hello everyone! Its been a while! Hence the title of my post. I have been moved home for 2 months now, and this was the right decision for me. I am attending UVU and actually have a job! I only started working about a week ago and I am loving it! I kind of wish I would have just stayed at home in the first place and I could have moved out now. There isn't anything I can do about it now, besides live with my decision, and I'm okay with it. I have changed my major from Mathematics Education to Elementary Education and I am much happier with that choice! I have already gone and observed teachers in elementary schools and it was so much fun! I got the opportunity to work the 2nd graders and holy cow they are so funny! They just kind of say whatever and have yet to understand what is really important and what is work arguing. It kills me.

On another topic, today in institute, we talked about developing our talents. One of the quotes that was shared was about how we all were born to be rulers in the next world by President Kimball. One of the girls in class asked how she could understand that SHE was a ruler. Her point was Pres. Kimball wasn't a prophet when she was alive. So how does this quote apply to her? The answers from the class were absolutely amazing!! I believe the most applicable answer was from one of the boys in class that said that to God, time doesn't exist. Time is a very material thing and just because Pres. Kimball wasn't a prophet during our time, does not make his words not applicable to us, or else the scriptures wouldn't be applicable to us either. He stated that the scriptures were written by prophets of old and they are the mouthpiece of God. They were revealed to us to help us return to Christ and be prepared for the 2nd coming. I totally agree with that statement!! I KNOW with every fiber of my being that the scriptures and the words of the prophet are revealed throughout time and they apply to every single one of us no matter what generation we are living in. It is amazing to see how much this gospel blesses my life when I follow the words of the prophet. I love this church and everything about it. My testimony is still growing and I can't wait to see how much more it develops!
