the busy life.

I guess maybe I should update this blog every once in a while, huh?

**Disclaimer.. I started writing this blog a few weeks ago. Sorry. just posting now.

So, yes! Life is good! 

I want to share kind of a continuation/confession from my last post. So, that day that I met with the Bishop and I wrote that he put things into perspective for me and I realized that I was where I needed to be at that specific time. 

So... I walked into his office, but it was the whole bishopric. I thought to myself, hmmm... this is pretty serious. They asked me to be the Relief Society President. You could say I was in a little bit of shock. They told me they would call me at the end of the month, so I had a little bit of time to find my counselors.  

It was an incredible experience to choose my counselors. I would make a list or have a sister in mind and I remember having a pretty good list for my presidency, but when I went to stake conference a name came to my mind when I wasn't even thinking of it and realized very quickly who the Lord wanted to be in this relief society Presidency. 

So. I waited a month and we were finally called. :)  We're not going to be a full presidency for very long. My 2nd Counselor was just called to the Rome Italy Mission! YAY missions! She's going to be one incredible missionary. My secretary just got engaged. last week. and my other secretary is moving home in the summer, so i'll have to start this process again very soon.
My ward is incredible!! so many people are moving in and out all the time that it's hard sometimes to know who's staying and who's leaving/has left. assigning visiting teachers is quite puzzling.  But I love this calling! It's such a good learning and growing opportunity and am so excited to serve.

So Yes, Relief Society President, Full time School, (Pretty much) full time work, and making time to be with Jesus, which btw is going incredibly well. Couldn't imagine life without him.
So yeah! Life is good!

Also... I am student teaching in the fall and I'm very excited for that opportunity!
I got an email about 2 weeks ago giving me the opportunity to do an internship instead of student teaching. They emailed 20 people with 10 spots. I knew I could get the spot and this is a really good opportunity! It's half salary and considered your first year of teaching. It would definitely be a challenge, but one that I am ready to take.
So I met with the advisor and he explained what I needed to do- take classes in the summer (during Spain). So I thought about not going to Spain, but that same day went to my Spain meeting and told them about this job opportunity to which they informed me if I didn't go I would still have to pay. hmmm... If i'm going to pay for it I decided I might as well go.
So.. I gave up the internship opportunity and am still going to Spain. It will also be a good opportunity!
I am student teaching next year somewhere in the Salt Lake School District. I'm not sure which school yet, but i'll keep you updated!
I am also very excited that the semester is almost over... I have one french final left. YAY!!!
