Week 2 in the Record Books!

And now another week has come and gone in the book field. It has been another week in paradise! Wisconsin really is beautiful! I am grateful to be out here and meeting so many wonderful people. Today was Fast Sunday. I got called and sustained (about 10 minutes after the Branch President asked me) to be the Primary Pianist! It was pretty funny! I am very happy to help build God's kingdom in whatever He wants. Hopefully my piano skills will be fine tuned as I have no extra time to practice. :)
After church, the elders came over and we roasted hot dogs and had smores with my host family. They are so awesome! I love them so much! I only pray that somehow, through this short time period, God will be able to soften their hearts and they can be introduced to the gospel. I want to do whatever I can to be an instrument in His hand in doing this. I pray I will be receptive to the promptings of the Spirit for new ideas of service to show my love for them.
In other news, some of you might not know, but I've pretty much moved on from Matt Moses as a romantic interest. I just thought you all should know. My new 'boyfriend' is Aaron Dickens. We met in my music theory class this last semester at BYU. He is so amazing! Don't worry, I will give you all the details you want (and more) on the cruise. He is at the MTC right now, learning Spanish for his mission in Baltimore, Maryland. I know I said I would never have a 'missionary', but I think our family has a way of being the exception to many of the standard mormon traditions regarding missions and romantic interests. ;)
