Well.. way up and way down.

The ups... Already hit the slopes with my friend Ryan :)

and the downs... me.. right now...

I am sure hardly anybody reads this anyway, BUT:

It is a Friday night and I am sitting at home-

FULL of emotions.

I am excited to be home.

I LOVE seeing my family [however I did forget how we have little

problems, all of the time]

I love seeing the mountains.

I love texting, facebook and listening to MuSiC!!

I am freezing, but I love snuggling up in a blankie to get warm :)

I have found out who my friends really are..

and that I don't have very many.

Everything is exactly the same, but completely different.

I am lonely.

I am lost.

I miss my friends in Brazil.

I miss always having spiritual experiences.

I miss having my life organized and planned out for me.

I am a mess, behind a smiling face.

I am full of tears, trying to not let them escape.

I need to make goals, and put into practice all that I have learned.

I need to be a [better person.]

I need to be happy with who I am, what I have, and not want others lives.

I need to have patience and rely on my faith that

I know everything will work out how it is supposed to.

Here is an inspiring quote from our beloved prophet Gordon B. Hinckley:

"It isn't as bad as you think it is. It all works out! Don't worry, I say that to myself every morning. It.will.ALL.work.out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, he WILL hear our prayers."
