This past week has been a great one. Not only am I on spring break and don't have to work, but I also had the opportunity to go up to conference and hear from the prophet. I take for granted and probably really don't truly comprehend how lucky I am to have a living prophet here on earth and to be able to get guidance and instruction from him. A friend from work has been taking the missionary discussions and has committed to being baptized at the and of April. We got tickets (they are free, but it is hard to get in because so many people are trying to go!) given to us so that he could go and see what it was all about.
Driving up to Utah was a spiritual experience in itself. I had Alexa in the car and ended up having to drive a separate car by myself. The weather was bad and it was snowing and very windy. Around Beaver, Utah I hit some black ice and my car lost control. Amazingly I was able to stay calm as it was happening. It seemed like an eternity. Alexa and I were carrying on a conversation as it was happening to try to keep each other distracted. As we were spinning I told her I was glad we had on out seat belts. She then said to me not to worry because she had said a prayer. Her perfect little faith knew that we would be fine because she had prayed and asked Heavenly Father to keep us safe.
During conference, a new member of the quorum of the twelve apostles was called. I was really excited because my best friend's husband's uncle, Neil Anderson, was called. I have only met him once, but have heard a lot about him from my friend and he is an amazing man. As we were asked to sustain him as a member of the twelve, it reaffirmed my testimony that all of these men are called of God and are here to serve the Lord and to guide and direct us. I hope that I can take the things that I have learned this week and make myself a better person.
PS. A friend and I were interviewed while we were up there for
mormon.org. If it ever shows up on their I will link it.

You go girl!!! Sorry we missed you. What happened? Get ready for me to be in town. I get there wednesday and leave saturday. Plan on hanging. I will call you this weekend! Later.
You forgot to mention that your parents were in the temple during the accident and that another special prayer was being said about the same time! Tried to talk myself out of going that windy evening and thought the pioneers would laugh at me! Also, good thing you felt you should take your hands off the wheel. I did a "pioneer" family name that night! Not a coincidence!
