It sounds cheesy, but President Nelson. He is such a good example of a servant of God and he still acts so young for his age!
Hey I'm Haven! You and I are on the same page haha! If I really had to pick...probably Dieter F. Uchtdorf. All of his stories are so inspiring!
Yes!! His talks are some of the best!
Yeah!! But I agree, President Nelson is awesome! It was so fun to see him having fun. Do you remember when he laughed when he was announcing the temples?
Yes! He has such a sweet spirit and you can tell he truly loves the gospel and just life in general!
Yeah seriously!
I think the new changes with things like ministering and the combining of high priests and elders is going to help prepare us even more for the Second Coming
Yeah! I love the focus on loving people and focusing on who they are and how you can help them specifically.
I feel like visiting teaching was already doing that, but now it's even more emphasized due to the fact that we don't have to report anymore
Yeah! My ward did a missionary activity a little while ago where we got into companionships and prepared a message for a family in our ward. Quick story time:) We got this super sweet elderly lady who actually served a mission herself in Salt Lake when she was 40. She talked to us for like 3 hours about her experiences and how much
Aww
she loved everything and grew from it!! SO cool Do you want to serve a mission?
That's so cool!! i'm writing a missionary right now and hearing his experiences are so incredible! I don't think a mission is the right thing for me at this time, but I'd love to serve a couples mission with my future husband someday haha whenever that may be
My brother's on a mission haha so I'm sorta writing one?;) jk I know it's not the same thing:) I'm planning to serve, but I'm not set on it. I think I'll just see where life takes me, you know?
Exactly!! I feel like finding an eternal companion is the right path for me to follow first..idk that sounds kinda weird but ya know??
Yeah!! It totally makes sense. When did your missionary leave? / when does he come back?
He left in July of last year so he's been out 11 months.. we're more friends than anything just bc we weren't able to ever date before his mission and it was kinda complicated
aww I feel I feel...Are you hoping for something when he gets back? (I mean I feel like that's an obvious question but you never know):)
yeah kind of but i'm also not putting my life on hold for him. if i meet my eternal companion while he's gone then i'll be fine too like i'm open to finding someone else but it's be nice if it worked out with him too haha
Yeah that makes sense:) So you're planning on dating other people and stuff at BYU?
oh totally
haha are you excited?? I LOVE planning group dates
I'm SO excited!! i'm going to a singles ward in a few weeks and i've already met this cute guy there too haha but then i'll have to move for college
Oooh fun!! I just barely decided to go summer term so I'm gearing up for that:) It's so soon!
Lucky! I'm not going until fall
haha tbh I'm a little nervous about everything but I'm also excited:)
i haven't hardly talked to my roommate but she seems super sweet and i think we'll get along good
Oh I'm sure she's great! I'm bringing a roommate from home but I'm staying in Heritage and meeting the other girls in our room has been SO cool. Well...sorta meeting we have a group chat going:)
Oh cool :) i've met a few other girls just through instagram and stuff so i have friends there too and one we found out is actually in my ward!!
Woah!! It's a small world:)
we started talking and found out she'll be living three rooms down the hall ! it's way cool
wow that's awesome!! what are you most excited about for college? Like activities wise
i'm super pumped to go to games and just hang out with a bunch of new people wbu?
Yeah! Meeting new people is going to be SO nice. I love hearing about all of the things they offer! I want to take some of the dance classes for sure
wait are you a dancer??
Well...not really:) My brother (the one on a mission) and I used to ballroom dance a lot so when he gets back we're going to do those together I love to dance and I love ballroom, but as for classical ballet and jazz and things like that, I haven't really done it:)
oh ok haha in a dancer so i got kinda excited
Aww that's awesome!!! What kind of dance? All of it?
jazz lyrical and hip hop :)
oooh that's so cool! You should teach me haha:) that sounds fantastic
this is my last year so i have some mixed feelings but i'm actually really excited to finally be done as weird as it sounds
Yeah I feel that. It's kind of fun to just open a new chapter you know?
oh i totally understand haha when's your graduation? some people's are so late in the summer!
Mine's the very beginning of June--is that late by comparison haha?
nope i've seen some that are late june.. mine is may 30 so we're pretty close haha
Okay yeah! Summer term NSO starts June 22 which feels SO fast but I think it's the right thing for me
ahh you're so lucky! i can't wait for fall semester!!
Fall is when the REAL party starts:)
oh for sure:) what are you majoring in??
Right now I'm declared as International Relations. But I'm open to change if I hate it--I'm planning on going to law school after my BA. hbu?
that's way cool! i'm majoring in Biology and then planning to do something medical idk what yet though  leaning towards phlebotomy
woah what's that?
blood work :) i actually loved working with blood in my vet tech class so that's what i'll probably do
Oh gotcha. That's awesome!
thanks!! so what inspired you to go to byu??
haha I'm taking Bio this summer! And I have always wanted to go to BYU, and visiting the campus...It feels like home:) It just feels right:) Plus, I mean, financially? There's no competition College elsewhere is SO expensive!
Yeah i got that feeling too when i was there :) i was planning on going to the college in my town and then the Holy Ghost prompted me to go to BYU soo that's why i'm here and honestly i'm so thankful i listened bc i couldn't imagine not going here
Yeah!! God is definitely behind everything. I can feel Him nudging me in all of these little things. Especially summer term! That was all Him.
Oh completely! Everyone keeps joking that it's bc my future husband is gonna be there or something 
I know!!!
like my mom told me i'm not allowed to get married my first year 
Haha I told me I wasn't allowed to get married my first year lol
yeahh that's probably a good decision haha
haha:) But you never know!
it's all on the Lords time for sure!
Amen!
i should probably go, but i've loves talking to you! hopefully we run into each other on campus!!
Yeah! That would be super fun. See you later!
