Day 26

So it's 12:02 am right now, but I'm still going to consider this as an on-time post! (Haven't slept yet! haha)

Today I wanted to talk about how amazing it is to be at a university like BYU.  At about 9 o'clock tonight we had a Relief Society service project downstairs in the basement.  Our Relief Society consists of all the girls on our floor/wing.  I was sitting with my friend Mariah when she asked me if I wanted to do family history along with her.  I've been starting to work on family history, and I thought it was so timely.  Then Mariah started to bear her testimony of the importance of family history work and she shared a story from the old testament.  I'm not exactly sure where it is found or if I'm even telling it correctly, but it is about Elisha and his servant who were the only two around when a huge army was coming towards them.  The servant was scared, but Elisha's eyes were open and he could see all the angels surrounding them that were there to protect them.  Just like those angels, our ancestors are always surrounding us.  Mariah has such a wonderful testimony of the gospel and especially family history work.  :)  The thing I love most about BYU is that you are surrounded with people who share the same beliefs as you.  I'm not saying it's bad to be around people without the same beliefs because that is perfectly awesome too!  It's just that it is so awesome to be able to talk so freely about gospel topics amongst my own peers.  I never had that back home and now it happens all the time!  I absolutely love it.
