This week was great as always. My testimony of prayer and how God loves us and answers grew. This week Sadie has continued to give me mix vibes. We went stadium singing last Sunday night but her interest has dropped and I really don't know why. I understood that this week would be the "make or break" for us. Either something was going to happen or not. I called her Friday afternoon and she didn't answer and then called me back about 2 hours later. She told me how she thought I liked her more than she liked me. I thought about that and what she said and I definitely agree. But I pondered about relationships between family and friends and girlfriends, etc. I learned how we get out what we put in. If we want to have close and personal relationships we can't expect to only give ourselves a little bit and require a lot in return. I have tried to apply this idea to my prayer. I now try to be more open to God (even though he knows what I am going through and what I am thinking he enjoys hearing about it from me).
On Thursday night our ward went to place to play mini golf and laser tag it was fun and I had a good time. After doing both for a little bit I started talking to a girl from my ward there that I didn't know. We exchanged our names and basic information. I then invited her to play mini golf with me. She accepted and then we got done and it was that moment where if my heart wasn't infatuated with Sadie I would asked for her phone number. She left wanting for more. Then the tender mercy came in. After about 2 or 3 minutes she came back and asked for my number (that doesn't happen very often haha). So I got her number and then I went home.
The next day after Sadie told me how she wasn't interested in going out anymore and I texted Talisha. She seemed so excited to hear from me. It was nice change. After talking for a little bit I asked her out for the next day and she regrettably told me that she had other plans. Still upbeat from her enthusiastic tone I went to bed shortly after to wake up early to be rested to work at the temple the next day.
After working the next day I came home, ate, and then went to do my accounting homework. Being optimistic I thought I would finish the assignment in a relatively short time period considering the hours I worked on it the night prior. However to my dismay I was very mistaken and I began working on hours at end. Thankfully God sent me another tender mercy. Talisha sent me a text and told me her ride fell through that night for sledding and told me she was still interested in going out that night. I happily told her to come and I had something positive to look forward to after finishing my homework.
I picked her up and we went to a cello concert, then played some pool, and then we watched "Emma Smith My Story" (which is a great movie). It was great night and I thought again the blessings God continues to give us.
