It has definitely been an interesting weekend. On Friday night, I had a game. We played the Titians, and beat them 2 to 0. We played really well together as a team, I was pretty impressed. It was a fun game. I's so glad to be playing. After the game I went home and watched The Breakfast Club on my computer, I was pretty tired from playing. (The altitude difference is killer!) Saturday, I slept in for a while before our ward social. The ward social was at the second counselor of the bishopric, Brother Herbert's house. We had a bbq and played a huge game of volleyball. I'll admit it was pretty lame until the volleyball game started. Our FHE brothers Ryan and Martin had everyone laughing. And did I mention Martin's truck, it only seats about 3 people comfortably, but we had 6 people in his truck on the way there.... it was horrible. hahahah. Anyways, when I got home I did laundry which was also horrible because the dryers here don't completely dry your clothes. So I had to bring everything home half wet and hang dry it in my room. Later that night Pedro and I had a Skype date. haha. I was trying to look all nice so I put on a cute top and did my makeup, but when I saw him he had on a full suit with a vest and a tie. I laughed my head off! Which probably wasn't the nicest of me, because he was just trying to be sweet. It was cute. Pedro's whole family came in while we were talking, and they all laughed too. His dad got on the webcam and was like, Hi Leah! where are you guys going?! Is he going to take you from one corner of the room to the other corner, to the other corner, and to the other?! I laughed so hard. It was so funny. Pedro didn't like that too much though. But overall it a nice night. Pedro and I laughed a lot. It was fun. So Sunday gets here, and church comes. I really like the lesson we had on temples in relief society. The teacher asked us to share experiences about the temple that had blessed our lives. I shared about Scotty and how no matter what had happened during his hard times in life, I always knew that we would be a family because of my parents' decision to get married for time and all eternity in the LA temple. And to think that he's going to be baptized in December! Goodness. I miss him. I almost started crying while talking about him in front of everyone. It took a lot to hold it in. After church we all came home and relaxed. I started studying for American foundations. The test is today, I'm a little nervous about it, but we're having a study session with a few people in the class. I think we'll all be alright as long as we study together tonight before the test.
I got a little homesick today... I was laying down, trying to rest and I just picked up the picture of my family and put it on my bed facing me. I miss everyone so much. It gets hard every once in a while. But I think that just makes it all that much better when I get home. I sit and think to myself about all the family vacations and meals that we had together and find myself wishing that I wasn't such a jerk and would of enjoyed the moments that I had my little sisters and brothers with me. And my parents too of course. Leaving has made me realize how much family really means to me. It's definitely the most important thing in my life at this point. And its funny, because I miss everyone for different things, and qualities and characteristics that they have. I love my mom and dad, and Lex, and Fayth, and Bailey and Scotty Boy and Addi so much. I'm counting the days until I get to come home again. It's going to be amazing.
Of course I miss Dana, Paul, Grandma jan, Autum, and all the youth of sixth ward and everyone else. hahah. I just miss everyone!
It's dinner time with our FHE brothers! I made the chocolate frosting for the cake!
Love, Leah!
