 Clearly I have done a terrible job keeping everyone updated. Some important things to note: Lizzie Lou came home from her mission on April 20th! And then I had my golden birthday (22 on the 22nd) and then the semester started and I have been DROWNING. It's all very fast paced since it's Spring session. I've applied for several jobs and haven't gotten one yet. I applied to be an MTC teacher and did a teacher rating session with them over zoom a little over a week ago and haven't heard anything yet. Lauren Johnson (my old mission comp (!) who used to work at the MTC) said that if I haven't heard back after two weeks to go back and schedule a second rating session. So we shall see. In some more positive news though I got called to be the Relief Society second counselor and that has been so incredibly rewarding thus far. I've actually gotten to know a lot of the girls in the ward, way more than I would have without this calling. It kind of empowers me to be more outgoing. Overall it's been both stressful but very worth it. I'm definitely glad that I moved here. It feels right.

 Got to meet up with Ms Lauren Johnson for lunch today!! It was so fun to catch up and see her again and hear how her life is going. She also gave me a lot of good pointers for applying to the MTC (!!!) since she used to work there and had gone through the application process as well!
