This week was jam packed but loaded with so many great events and things we were able to participate in..For our Arts Symposium class we went to the Blind boys of Alabama, they have won 5 grammy's and literally were blind and absolutely amazing!! They followed the performance of Ralph Stanley and his group (he did music for O' Brother Where art thou). We didn't know what we going to see until we got there..The bluegrass country and gospel music was a lot of fun and a performance we both really enjoyed!! We got autograph's bought a cd and will be listening to them from now on :)
The next day I was able to go and listen to Stephen Covey up on campus, He is such an incredible speaker and person that really knows how to simplify life and help you know what you need to do in becoming better. He talked a lot on leadership, family values, and getting the most out of each day. I really need to start reading some of his books and the ones he is currently working on when they are finished!
Friday was then my first mission reunion with President Hoer from the 07-10' group. It was so awesome seeing them for the first time since I returned home in 08'. Everyone looked to be doing awesome and they gave great talks and a presentation on fulfilling your purpose and really living the gospel, not just preaching it. Using your time wisely and getting the most out of your day. It complimented a lot of what Covey said and it was good to get that ingrained and set better goals to do more! Nothing better than getting together with people that helped shape and change your life. Great to see the brothers and catch up on everything, Janae was a real sport the whole night, it was a long one!!
As our reunion was going on we were also receiving updates on the USU vs. BYU football game...yes at one point we were winning by almost 30 points..there was alot to be happy about!! The drought had been too long since we last beat them in football..dating back to 1993 - the time is now and the Aggie tide is definitely turning uphill and for the better!! AGGIES ALL THE WAY
Then of course Conference sat. and sunday has been amazing so far!! It has been so fun watching it with Janae, and has helped us enjoy our weekend!! It is an accomplishment just to get to friday afternoon alive haha!! The church is true and the living leaders, prophets, and apostles truly are inspired to teach and lead us according to our Savior's desires!!
Things are going so well and we are continuing to be blessed so much in what is really every aspect of our lives!!
Sounds like a perfect week!!
