This past week has been awesome! It has introduced me to a topic that I have honestly been working for but God's timing hasn't been quite there previously... girls haha. Since coming up to BYUI I feel that I have been putting a pretty good effort to trying to do my best to meet new people. I want to date girls because I enjoy good conversation and fun activities. This semester I just haven't quite clicked with anyone until this past week. On Sunday I was 15 minutes early to church and I sat in my typical area (approximately 3 or 4 rows on the right side) and a girl comes and sits next to me. Which honestly is kind of rare because typically girls travel in pack here haha. So we exchanged names and basic information. This was her first semester back from her Spanish mission in Boston. Church then started and the Bishop announced how there would be a fireside (which whenever there is a fireside I always go). The first thing that always comes to my head is when an activity is announced like that I think "so who am I going to try to go with". I then look to the side of me and I see Sadie (the girl who sat next to me) pull out her Iphone and mark on her calendar about the fireside. I knew right then I wanted to ask her to go with me. So right after sacrament meeting I ask her and she accepts. I get her phone number and then I pick her up and we go and have a great time hearing from our stake presidency. Then when I walk her to her door I receive a very genuine, tight hug. From right then I think "I am going to ask her out again. So on Tuesday I send her a text asking if she want to go to a music quintet of BYUI's music staff. We went and enjoyed the concert. As we were walking home it got a little icy in the parking lot and then she grabs my hand for balance and we walked hand in hand until I walked her to her apartment. Then on Friday I called to ask her out for Saturday. She said yes. Later that night I went and hung out with some guys on my floor and we watched the original star wars. It was a lot of fun. It was interesting though because one of the roommates there is the ward mission leader and called Sadie (the other wml) to come over to help him make crapes for a ward party we are having the next day. I feel like it wasn't coincidence that we saw each other and Weston (my roommate) saw on campus this week too. So the next day on Saturday we went out to go roller skating in the mc. It was really fun. We skated some and then we sat down and talked some and followed that pattern a few times till the place closed. Then we went over to her lounge and watched the newsies. Throughout the night we were holding hands and cuddling. Then at her door step we had both thought of what was going to happen. We hugged and I go in a little bit to see if she wants to kiss and she say "not yet". So we both stand there a little longer and embrace and then I end up kissing her on the cheek. It was nice because it was very genuine it really expressed what was in my heart. So that's my sappy love story for the week haha. We will see what happens in the next week.
In other news last Sunday my bishop announced that the temple needed some more workers. I knew that I needed to step up. I talked to him after church and he said there would be a way that I could just work for 2 hours so a week which I thought was great. Later that week I get a call from the temple and I have an interview with counselor from the temple presidency and they say I could work as service worker which where I would just work for 3 hours or so as a week or an ordinance worker. When he gave me the options I knew right away that God wanted me as an ordinance worker. I took it with faith and the only time I could honestly fit straight 6 hours in a day was at 4 45am till 10 15ish or 10 till 4 on Saturday. I knew that I needed to do the morning if I wanted to be able to do any homework at all on Saturday. I worked there and it was great. I learned almost all of the words of the ordinances except initiatory. The spirit was really strong. Although I stumbled at first I was humbled and I feel blessed to be able to work there.
