So it has been over a month since I last posted. I have done soooo many things in this past month that I am sooo excited about but never figured I would do. I joined the LDS church. I was baptized on February 15, 2009 and confirmed on February 22, 2009. This is the best decision I have made in my life. I am absolutely amazed at the happiness that is now in my life. I myself can see many changes in the way I have lived my life. I 100% know that Heavenly Father is very happy with some of the decisions and choices I have made.
Second, I flew for the first time in my life. I flew from Orlando, Fl to Detroit, MI with a layover in Charlotte, NC. The flight to Detroit was absolutely amazing. It was beautiful to be able to look out the window of the plane as we ascended into the sky on our way out of Orlando. It was still dark out so it was amazing to see the lights and everything. When we started to descend in Detroit and I could once again see more than the clouds and the blue sky I could see frozen lakes and snow in the fields. This was just an amazing spectacle to me. I asked my gma if it was lakes and water below us and the guy behind me rudely told me "It's not water its ice". Well, I am sorry mister :) I have never seen it before so it was actually to me very new. I saw some snow from the previous week that had been shoveled into piles and just little snow flurries. It was amazing to me to watch the snow fall out of the sky although it was very very cold. I was also introduced to the name "POP" for me everyone I have been around calls carbonated beverages "soda". I don't think that I have ever been asked if I would like a Pop but now I have. I also was told that I have an accent when of course I thought it was them that had an accent :P. I learned that they do not say GIT-R-DONE when I asked them if they said this they asked me if I was serious. Well with all this new information about another state in the United States I was definitely in culture shock. I now want to visit everywhere so I can learn the different ideas and sayings of the many different people of the world.
I am so glad to be home. The flight home with all the delays and being sick was a nightmare not to mention that my grandmother and I (who I traveled with) are still not talking. I don't really feel like going into detail but if everybody can just pray for me and my family that would be wonderful. I am also still getting over my sickness. Bronchitis and sinusitis are some tough things to beat.
Another thing that I am very excited about is the experiences that I have had going on exchanges and tracking with the missionaries. This is an amazing experience that I just love doing and I just can't say no because I feel so much better when I get home.
Oh! and one more thing I can not wait until one day when I get to go to the temple with my future mate. I contemplated this 3 months ago and wrote about it in my journal. I told myself that I would never be able to get married in the temple. After three short months and many spiritual experiences I have decided that I absolutely cannot wait. I am going to get married in the temple one day and I know that, this is what the Heavenly Father would want for me. :)
