Rainy

If you're in Mesa, AZ today, or know someone in Mesa, AZ, then you know that it rained all through the night and hasn't really stopped since. You'll also know, if you're from here, that rainy days are the best days of the year. I don't know about y'all, but my window is WIDE open, my mom is crafting, brother is watching The Muppets, and I'm about to make cookies and write HIM. There's something about rainy days, something that makes them different from other days, that is so refreshing. Rainy days are SO refreshing. Not only for the earth, but for the soul. There's nothing I love more than to sit and listen to the soft drizzle that's happening right now. And to have my Of Monsters and Men Pandora Radio on. Those two elements, make today near perfect. (Only the smell of cookies can make it BETTER).

Now, my letter. HA, this is a funny story. I walked in the door from MCCool this Thursday after 7pm. Because I decided to have a class that goes that late. Dumb, I know. ANYWHODOODLE. I walked in, said "hullo" to my parents, and went to put my stuff in my room. And then I yell out. Like, seriously yelling in excitement. I had gotten a letter! And it was on my bed! And I was so excited because I love letters from him! And it was full of sweet stories and jokes and him. It was full of him. He left me a beautiful scripture in Alma (Alma 7:11-13) that just reiterates why he's my favorite. He gets me, and knows what I need to hear through the Spirit. That's also why this gospel is my favorite. Something about having a missionary out makes the days so much more. I have a good friend in Uganda who has me on his weekly emails. It's amazing how similar the two places are, yet they're across the WORLD from each other. This gospel truly does miracles!

This is a short and random post. I just wanted to share my excitement for the day!
