This has been a great semester. As we come to an end i reflect how grateful i am for everything i have. I am so grateful for my family and everything they do for me. I am so grateful for this gospel and every truth it has brought into my life. I know that it is true and it will keep me on the right path to head back to my Heavenly Father. Last i am so grateful for the campus that i have been privileged to be apart of and make my knowledge grow. The teachers are amazing and have such great words to shear.

This week again made me think of my family. Last week i really thought about my mom and myself. This week i am focusing on my dad. Fathers and mothers are so truly important. Without the two it is just not the same. Last week i explained how excited i am to become a mother and the responsibilities i will have. This week i focused on the importance of a husband. I am not married yet so this week i took notes on what i am looking for in a husband. One of my main things i want is a husband is the potential of being a good dad. My father and i are very close. I am very picky with guys because i want someone just like my father. Maybe i will never get married. haha

This week i can honestly say that i want to be a mother and a homemaker. This week remind me what is really important, family. I love my family so much. I cant wait to get married and start a family. This week also made me call my parents and really tell them how much i appreciate them and what they do for me. It made me have a greater respect for my mother because being a mother is very hard but also the greatest blessing. Mothers i dont think get enough credit for what they do. I look forward to expanding my knowledge even being a stay home mom.  

Stress is no fun.Things happen in life that we have to go through and there is nothing we can do about it. As this weeks goes on i thought about a trial that my family went through together that made us stronger as a family. At the time this trial was happening it was stressful and was really hard. Now as i look back upon this trial is made me grateful how much closer it brought my family. It had made me appreciate to the point which it brought us too. Trials are hard but they are blessings in the blind. As trails come we need to face them head on and get through them with the support of our families. Our heavenly father will not let us face something we cannot handle especially on our own.  

This week was hard being single. To think about getting married is wonderful but also scary. Thinking of things i would have to give up or to do was interesting. I have no experience of being married but something i think of that i will have adjust to is being with someone 24/7, communicating, and managing time. These things for me are so much different now than i think they will be for me when i get married. As i think of getting married on day really made me realize these things are  important. Sharing your life with someone is so important but you need to learn how to compromise. As i wait for the day i do get married i will enjoy my life being single. 

Are all cultures equal in terms of being right and wrong, good and bad? Do we have the right to proclaim one set of values to be better than another?

What a question right?! That was the question of the week. Thinking about this question of course i wanted to be bold and say that my culture is the best. Of course i want to say that the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is the only true culture but as i thought about it each person is different and believes in what they want to believe in. You have to be careful and accepting of what people choose to believe in. It made me realize we cannot judge people based on their culture. 

This week made me really appreciate the options we have. I was able to talk about the adoption process i went thru with my family. My mother was not able to have many kids but thankfully was able to adopt two little girls to make our family grow. That experience is incredible. My sisters are amazing and our family would not be complete without them. My family is so great and i love them so much.
