This Sunday

So I have been pretty busy the past few days. I was in the LDSSA Dodgeball Tournament Friday and Saturday. We won!! It was so awesome! I kinda thought there'd be a fight between our ward (the 14th) and the team that we played for the final round (the 29th). The guys on the 29th, one guy in particular, were really fiesty, and the guys on my team were giving it right back. I have to admit that I laughed a little at how silly they were being. I met some really nice guys from the team too. I hung out with them last night. I am also especially glad that we beat the 29th because a guy in my institute class (Trevor) is from the 29th and was talking trash all week long. I think Trevor is immensly attractive and am so excited to let him know that my team beat his. Maybe it'll be the conversation that will spark a relationship ;) a girl can dream can't she? On Thursday night, I got covered in whipped cream at a carnival. A stray pie went all down my back. Again, I laughed. It was so funny! Today at church I had a great time. I prayed to feel the Spirit today, and to have a good time at church, and that prayer was answered. I am so thankful for that. Although church today was also very hard. Sundays are always the hardest for me. I wasn't really thinking about it, but I kinda leaned over to put my head on Mom's shoulder, but before I moved I remembered that she wasn't there. It hurt me. I just sat there for a few minutes imagining hugging Mom and Austin. I missed them so much at that one moment. I called Mom after church and just started crying. I couldn't help it. I just wanted to hug my family, but they weren't there to hold me close and take my hurt away. I am still teary eyed about it. I miss them so much! I decided that even if I only get to be there for a minute, I am coming home next weekend. I am going to have Sunday dinner with Justin and his roommates today, it'll be really fun. I love you all!!
