I am Loved

So it is easy for me to say that the past week or so hasn't been so great. I've been poked with more needles than I'd like, away from home and feeling, over all, pretty crappy! But it does help to know that, no matter what, I am loved. Here are some things that have helped me get through:

1. My family- My mom came up on Tuesday, went home Wednesday and my dad came up Thursday. They sacrifice their time for me and for that, I am incredibly grateful. I went home for the weekend and they all went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. They are crazy at times, but I love (SO MUCH) them all the time!



2. This is my team. I am number 23. This entire week my team has been keeping in touch with me and asking how I am doing. They are amazing and I love them so much.

3. My Relief Society president just came over with flowers , a card and a hug. Inside the card she wrote "You are loved, we just wanted to make sure that you knew that!"

4. My friends- You guys are always there for me. ALWAYS! I will never be able to find the words that completely desctibe the love I have for you all!

5. While I was home this weekend, I was able to go to a good friend's baptism! She just turned 8 and I felt really bad because I could not figure out a way for me to be in Durham for the occasion. Well, as it turns out, I made it! It was one of the sweetest baptisms I have ever been to. Things like this make me feel so strongly the love of my Heavenly Father. It's through the small and simple things(like a little girl dressed all in white) that He makes his love for us apparent.

Hopefully this week will be better... We'll see!
