Ward Activity

This weekend was one of my favorite weekends ever! My college ward ended up having an activity at a pretty reservoir and did several various activities.

One fun activity we did was play football. I played for about a half hour while the remainder of the group ended up playing for about 90 minutes.
 
 Another fun activity that took place was that we played and swam in the water..... except me, because I didn't bring a swimsuit. As a result, I ended up shooting  a lot of the pictures and videos.

From the activity we ended up gaining many memories and meeting many new people. It is a time I will never forget.

Busy-work



So yeah, my life right now is filled with homework, homework, and even more homework! It is such a pain in the neck. The good news, though, is that my grades are really well right now....A's and B's. Either way, I wish I had more time to get out and do things; it's a weakness of mine to go out and meet new people on my own. 



So this is where I spend a lot of my time nowdays....either on the desk or in the Library. :) I like studying in the library. It helps me out a lot. I get to see a few people that I know over there as well.

Visiting Converts

Before making it to Rexburg, Idaho this past Monday, I spent a week going to see the converts with my family. It was a great experience being able to see so many of them home and having my parents meet them. There are so many experiences to share and many blessings which have come to these people as I have seen them and heard their stories. Here are a few of the new things I have learned or had confirmed while being on the trip.


The little girl in the photo above was baptized after I left the area.



This young boy was baptized after I left the area.



This young man was baptized after I left the area.



This young man has since been sealed in the Provo Utah temple.



This woman was sealed in the Timpanogas Temple to the man who introduced her to the Church. She has since been to a live endowment session in Salt Lake City.



This girl was baptized after I left the area, and her grandmother has since gone to the temple.



I just learned that this girl helped her college roommate get into the Church.



This couple will soon be moving to Montana and plans to be sealed in the temple in the coming months, possibly in the Rexburg Idaho temple.



This woman is now planning on being baptized this August.



The young man in the middle has since been baptized.



The boy and girl in blue and the boy on the right have since been baptized.


There are some others who have since been baptized that I haven't gotten photos for yet, or who I didn't get to know well enough, but I know that when I reach the Spirit World, that I will be able to see these people, and acknowledge my support for their accepting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
