Summer 2012

This has been a really great summer! Wow, Cody and myself really have a lot to be thankful for. So this summer started off really really good! Our sisters Nicole, Jena and Cira came up for a week of Adventures For Youth camp at the BYU-Idaho campus. They were able to make new friends and try new outdoor activities while learning more about the gospel and strengthening their testimonies! They had a really spiritual time and told us all the things they learned and about the spiritual experiences they were able to go through. I am so grateful we were able to have them up here and all three are excited to come up to BYUI when they graduate! Cody loved this summer because he was able to have his brother, Jake up here in Rexburg. Jake was a AFY counselor and he said it was such a spiritual experience for him that he will remember forever. We were able to hang out with him on weekends and do fun things. We also attended two baptisms this summer. One was a girl I knew in high school, who never in a million years I would of thought would join the Church. Her baptism was super spiritual. Another was one of Jake's best friends and he is also super close the the Gamboa family. They had been friends since high school and he said that he knew this is where he belonged! We had him as well as others up here last week and they loved it! I was able to secure my internship for the fall and also start working full time 7 weeks early! I am a Public Health Coordinator at the Student Health Center and I love it. It was the only internship I wanted and the first one I applied for. I am so glad Heavenly Father blessed me with this opportunity! Cody and I feel so blessed to be living the life we are. My testimony has been strengthened by the fact that if you do what is right and your heart is truly fixed towards doing good, then Heavenly Father will bless you more then you could imagine. I am so grateful for the husband I have and family that is always there for me!
