Today has definitely been a crazy one...actually this whole week has been a little bit crazy, in a good way of course :) I'll give a quick run through, but then I have to talk about tonight.
Okay, so on Monday we had our ward talent show and I sang a duet with a friend in the ward. His roommate, also a friend, played the piano for us. I was extremely nervous and thought I was going to pass out the minute I stood up in front of everyone (actually I kept picturing myself not even making it that far, but falling down the stairs on my way to the stage haha :D). Anyway, we sang Come Home by One Republic and Sara Bareilles and it actually turned out to be really fun! I couldn't get off the stage fast enough once it was over, but I really enjoyed myself in the moment which was a little unexpected. That entire night was just fun, and after the show I was walking back to the car with the people I came with and we realized it was me and a bunch of guys haha :D Someone commented on the good ratio I had managed to pull off and that inspired the band name Danie and the Ratio. If I am ever in a band I will have to keep that one in mind :) I am surrounded by such talented, fun people! I love it! Also, I must mention that I have the cutest FHE sisters ever! They came up to me after the night was over and gave the warmest compliments. They are such sweet girls! I love living at the colony and being surrounded by so many great people! Before I get too carried away with that I'll get on with the rest of the week.
On Tuesday I gave a little presentation for one of my classes which thankfully went well, but other than that the day was pretty uneventful. Wednesday was insane! I taught a gym class in the morning, performed in a little play for my drama class shortly after, and then I taught in my mission prep class. By the end of the day I was ready to be done being in front of people. I don't particularly like being the center of attention and it was like the whole world had been paying attention to me all day. It didn't help that I was dressed up like a guy for the majority of it either. It didn't take me long to decide I don't ever really want to be a guy. Sure they have short easy to do hair and the only accessory they really have to worry about is a tie, but I am just happy being a girl :) Don't get me wrong though, the day was fun :) and it ended well too because I got to go to the temple again and relax while doing a little bit of homework, plus I got to go to a mission call opening which is always happy :)
Today I got to be in the schools working with children again. I truly am so excited to be an elementary school teacher, I love kids and I love learning with them :) After I finished most everything for school I got to celebrate one of my beautiful roommates birthday with some of our good friends :) She cooked us a very tasty dinner and we got to just enjoy each other's company. I also made a new friend and spent a lot of the evening talking to her along with one of my other roommates. I feel so lucky to know these girls. They are such strong, valiant girls with so much going for them :) They are both awaiting mission calls and are doing such wonderful things to prepare for them. It was so neat to listen to their insight and come to understand just how important a mission is to them. I love that I can surround myself with people like them because I feel together we can do so much to build each other up :) I love my life so much, and I have so many wonderful things to be grateful for! I was even more so reminded of this when I turned to this verse in the scriptures "Know ye not that ye are in the hands of God? Know ye not that he hath all power, and at his great command the earth shall be rolled together as a scroll?" (Mormon 5:23) In context I realize this scripture may not be emphasizing what I got out of it, but it reminded me that my life is in His hands and He will make sure that everything works out in the end. What a comfort that is and not just for me, but for everyone. He will take care of everyone in the way they need it most. I am so grateful for that knowledge. :) I am so grateful for my life and for the things I learn each day. I love this time of year and the opportunity to really reflect on what we are thankful for :) Thanksgiving is next week! Eek! I can't wait! For tonight, that is all :)
