I'm okay, and do you know why? Because Heavenly Father loves me and wants me to be happy!

Its true, you know. Heavenly Father loves all of us and wants us to be happy. That's why, sometimes, he gives us REALLY REALLY hard things to work through. So...I mentioned last time that I used to be a hermit. I am doing better at socializing more, and being an outgoing person. I used to love hugs and somehow I stopped liking to hug people, but lately its come back and I love to be an outgoing, hug-y person again. Its kind of fun!
     I am in school this semester, just taking a couple of classes and learning a lot! Its amazing! I love school! I also love that my teachers don't believe in quizzes and tests other than the final! This is great because attendance is required, so I go to class, participate in the discussions, learn a ton, and don't have to cram and study for hours and hours before a test! HOORAY! Don't talk to me around finals week, though...that's going to be crazy!
     I'm meeting a lot of new people in school this semester, which is so much fun! I love meeting new people! Its the greatest thing ever!I know this is where I am supposed to be right now, which is the best feeling in the world, I love it!
    In Institute today (I'm taking a Book of Mormon class) we were talking about faith, and we got this quote, which is AMAZING...here it is:

"There are two kinds of faith. One of them functions ordinarily in the life of every soul. It is the kind of faith born by experience; it gives us certainty that a new day will dawn, that spring will come, that growth will take place. It is the kind of faith that relates us with confidence to that which is scheduled to happen...There is another kind of faith, rare indeed. This is the kind of faith that causes things to happen. It is the kind of faith that is worthy and prepared and unyielding, and it calls forth things that otherwise would not be. It is the kind of faith that moves people. It is the kind of faith that sometimes moves things. Few men possess it. It comes by gradual growth.It is a marvelous, even a transcendent power, a power as real and as invisible as electricity. Directed and channeled, it has great effect."
-Pres. Boyd K. Packer

isn't faith AMAZING? I read that and thought "wow...I need to work on my faith!" 

Any way, I hope you all have a FABULOUS week!!!
