Busy Two Weeks

In case you haven't heard I started EFY as a counselor again. This year they even decided to pay me. That is a pleasant bonus. My first week started the last Monday of May. It was held in Montpelier Idaho. It was great. The spirit was strong and I enjoyed it. During this week I also go to stay with a host family. Im this family there were five young kids aging form 12 to 3 or 4. They were so so wonderful. I think they are one of the greatest families in the world. This is greatly due to the parents. Some things that stood out about them.

1. They are easy going and open.
2. They are kind and patient (this was greatly displayed when dealing with their kids at the breakfast table)
3. They are giving and they truly care.
They delight in the joys and successes of others and feel sorrow and concern for them as well.

I could go on but the goal is to keep this short so I will get some sleep tonight.
Anyways, I was so exhausted from EFY that I got sick and spent all Sunday morning throwing up. As a result EFY decided that it would be better to stay home this last week.

Lucky me because I ended up getting engaged this last week.

The wedding is set for July 20th. We are going to be married in the temple for time and all eternity. I will try to post more soon.

Good night.
