So you all know that I went to Turkey and Greece with BYU-I and we studied the journey of Paul and his missions in those countries. It was truly amazing and I learned so much about myself and the world around me. I really loved Turkey, I could just feel the love that Heavenly Father had for the people there even though they are Muslim they have such
good views and morals that are very respectable. Our tour Guide Attic ended up at the end accepting a Book of Mormon and having a priesthood blessing. I learned the importance of missionary work and saw why the people of the world need the gospel. Paul went to these country teaching the people he loved them and truly wanted them to believe in something that is so important in this part of our life. Greece was a
different story, we had a guide that was not interested in us our what we had to say. So we just let her speak and then she would leave and give us time to speak on our site reports. Which I felt sad because she is a daughter of God and really think we could have made an impact on her. However there is still agency in this world, so hopefully one day she will have the chance. I also really didn't like all the porn every where and how it is acceptable to just show everywhere. However this is another reason why the gospel needs to reach this country. Over all the gospel was testified to me and reassured me that the gospel is true and that I am on the right track.
I am happy to be back in Rexburg though! I love my roommates and my boyfriend! I came home to a bouquet of flowers in my room from my wonderful boyfriend. Also to Kendra waking up and asking me for a big hug! It was great!!! I loved it! Now I am just waiting for classes to start and my little sister to come join me here at school for a while!! Its going to be a fun filled semester!!
