Zumba -- move fast and have fun!

I know a girl who went on a 2 week special diet and did loose some weight. Then I know another one who is going on another diet to loose some weight. I don't think I can ever go on a diet. I have to eat or I'll die :-) The only motivation I have is to work out. So, these past few weeks I have had the urge to be more active so bad but haven't had or made the chance to. Something always come up -- slept in, had to stay late at work, or it rains etc ... I finally stopped the clock and went to a Zumba class I hear so much from friends these days. My new roommate took me there.

Boy, it was so intense but I loved it. It's a cardiovascular exercise with Latin rythms. You sweat within 2 mintues you start. I decided I am going at least once a week from now on and will add in some pilates and jogging for the rest of the week. Yay, go Zumba! It reminds me of the work out we get from practicing Luau dance back in the day while I was attending BYU.

There is a chapter in each story and there a season for everything. I decided I to own a home last year. I started looking in July and finally found the one.

Where is Spring?

The weather in Utah is so random. We have had temperature in the 50's for like 2 weeks and suddenly it starts snowing again. Although I now enjoy winter and what comes with it, I am ready for Spring but something is telling me that it may not be here soon. I want to see blue sky and trees with blossom.
But no matter what the weather is like, 2 special events happen in early Spring. Thus is the General Young Women Conference and General Conference. I look forward to these because I get to interpret and hang out with some friends from home. And most of all, I get to listen to some powerful messages from general authorities from the church.

This picture makes me happy! They started putting these banner up since last year and there is one in Malagasy.

ETERNITY

Over 10 years ago, I remember going to my first Relief Society meeting while I was still investigating the LDS Church and the lesson topic was on "Temple". I recall I asked the teacher if we had a Temple in Madagascar and she said no but the closest to us would be in South Africa.


My older brother was sealed for time and eternity with his family in the Johannesburg Temple this week. This is special to me because my first temple experience took place there too before I went to serve a mission in Durban. What a blessing for my family! When I spoke to him on the phone before they left to South Africa, he said,"we will be a happier family."
