I love the temple. I love the spirit. I love knowing that when I leave the Temple I will be drained from everything because the spirit is so strong there. I also love that despite the fact I am drained mentally, I am completely full of knowledge of the truth of the Gospel and of God's love. The temple is such a glorious place. I am so grateful for my temple covenants. For the opportunity I have to be reminded that all trials are for our own benefit, that Heavenly Father is only trying to make us more like him.

I had a rough week...but it was all worth it to feel the way I felt yesterday at the temple. And now I have 34 days to finish up this semester and I will get to go home and rejuvenate my spirits with my family and my best friend.

I am almost done. 30 days and this semester will be over. That means one more semester until I am done with classes. One more semester until I start rotations and the beginnings of my career. I cannot tell you the joy I have being able to say that. I am so glad I went to school...but I am so ready to be done!

34 days people. 34 days and one semester.
