I also testify to this ...

It's all about friends ...

Not too long ago, I read a post on the meaning of a good friend on my friend Jenny's blog. I thought about this a lot and I too want to be that friend who is always there for my friends no matter the distance is when it seems like the whole world is gone.

I had an amazing week by celebrating a close friend's wedding. It was a happy moment for all of us. I am so happy for her and wish the best for her in everything.
I also hang out with some friends from my mission. We were reminiscing mission stories from 8-9 years ago. We even had indian curry and roiboos tea to spice it better. We talked about visiting South Africa next year :-)
A good friend from overseas was visiting for General Conference with her family. Seeing their excitement about the Gospel, their faith, their confidence, and their sacrifice in all of what I also believe to be true gave me comfort and strengthened my own faith.

Temptation ... not easy

Check out this video about temptation. It's cute!
Kids are placed in a room with one marshmallow. The adult tells the child that they can either eat the marshmallow now or wait until they come back and as a reward, the child would receive another marshmallow for their patience. Simple but not easy!

Peace into my soul ...

Tonight, I finally made it to choir in which I signed up for Institute this Fall. I missed the first 2 weeks because of work. I forgot how good this is for me. I just love singing hymns and it brings peace into my soul and my life.
We will have concert coming up:
Fireside on November 8
Christmas concert: December 9 on Temple Square, 11 and 12 at the U of U Institute.
