Volleyball, Friends, and Meat Markets

Moving into Crestwood Apartments was one of the best decisions I ever made.

I have made the greatest friends and the greatest thing about them is that they are live right here with me. I feel so blessed that I'm about to make a whole post just about it. And although I could rant and rave about all the experiences and friends that I've made..I will make it simple and to the point.

All previous singles wards that I've been too I didn't like AT ALL. 

It felt like a huge immature social event every time I went to church.

When I go to church I want to feel the spirit, learn something, etc.

I do not want to hear your sob story about how your not married or how your testimony somehow relates to Lion King....don't ask.

And then you try to go to the ward activities and it was like a dating service or meat market where there is no stops between meeting someone and being sealed to them for eternity.

Think I'm kidding don't you?

Completely serious right now.

This ward is the definition of a ward FAMILY.

If I ever need anything at all I know there will be at least 5 people there ready to help with whatever I need.

I feel the spirit and learn something new every sunday and every activity is just a blast and I meet someone new all the time.

Yesterday I had the WHOLE day off. Possibly the best day of the year.

I played sand volleyball for 6 hours..we had a legit triples tournament going.

Had a bbq and even got to sleep in.

All those people I met and got to hang out with yesterday was the best, I literally was in heaven.

People are so not judgmental and so friendly here its insane. It's the complete opposite of a normal provo singles ward or even a family ward.

I've learned something in this ward.

No matter how hard life gets or how rough you have it, there is someone that needs you.

I look up to a lot of people here and little do they know that even though I don't know them super well, I look up to them and their examples. They probably don't even know it. 

Just like everyone else, they probably have trials and hard times but the fact that whenever I see them they have a smile on their face and are super friendly and welcoming has made the biggest difference.

Whenever I feel down, without fail, if I start serving somebody else I feel so much better.

My problems seem less dramatic and life is good and peaceful again.

God is real everyone.

My life is a testament of it each and every day.

Sorry this was a total ADD post but moral of the story:

I'M BLESSED.

Happy Sunday everyone. :)
