Current events...

I've had a pretty hard week. I believe I'll just copy and paste what I sent to my best friend who is on a mission right now.

Dear Elder Christensen,

Today was rough. I received a letter from Brighton LDS girls camp, and I was not
accepted. I was crushed. I could not hold back tears. Though after thinking about it, I am more
motivated to continue my goal of becoming the best I can be. There is still a possibility of me
becoming a counselor again this summer (alternate list) yet, as hard as it was for me to see earlier
today, I know what I will do if that option does not present itself. I am going to do all I can to
prepare for a mission. I can send in my papers at the end of August. I’m going to do this. I want
to do what is right. This feels right. If I find that a mission isn’t right for me at this time though,
there is always Brighton next summer. I want to look on this in the most positive way.
Also this summer, I plan on volunteering in a hospital, which will be very good
experience for me, since I am still planning on becoming a nurse. I’m also going to see if it is a
possibility for me to be a counselor at EFY for a week. Things will be okay. :) I’m still struggling
with the day, but I know I should not be discouraged, for there are other opportunities out there.
Everything is going to be alright.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know. Take care.
Your Friend,
Becky

I'm not sure what the future will bring, but everything happens for a reason.

until next time...
