I have had a wonderful trip to Texas and Utah. I've debated of what to do with my time back in South Carolina. last night I stayed up and had a lot of time to get my mind off being so sick. I've realized a lot about myself the past 3 weeks. I have a really good understanding of myself and in where I have progressed so much with the things I've struggled with. I'm happy how far I have progressed when bad things do get into my life and how fast I get them out. I learned that I can't be at home for long, so I've prayed and decided that leaving on my mission earlier. I'll also leave South Carolina sooner too. about 10 days sooner. Its amazing you can develop your life for good and how fast it can be erased if you aren't careful. I'm happy I choose the right way and got myself out of any terrible situations fully come to pass. my heart is full and my eyes are clear with how many blessings are in my life. I hope to have this gratefulness that is in my heart now. the joy that fills my heart of how everything in my life has fallen slowly and continually into my lap when I have obeyed the commandments.
