A New Day!!!!

Hola everybody!!!! Okay so it's been a while since I have written. I'm very sorry. I have been distracted. I just got home from a high adventure camp last night. It was actually a pretty good experience. We went to Havasupai Falls. It was a 11 hour drive and 10 mile hike to the campground. It was an exhausting journey. I left on Wednesday of last week and we got to Arizona and I started feeling really sick. Lately I've been suffering with really bad anxiety whenever I leave home. I went to the Temple to do baptisms in another city like a month ago and that's when it started. The trip wasn't that long. My stomach just gets really nervous in big situations and I feel sick. But I don't have to go to the bathroom and I never throw up. I just feel really sick. This is a big challenge for me in my life right now. I want to go on huge trips away from home and have fun, but my stomach stops me every time. That's why I learn to breathe and try to relax. I try to get my mind off of it and just enjoy life. I prayed like a zillion times (I get really nervous when I'm sick I need to be patient) in the car hoping for a miracle when later I received a miracle. Just being around my friends (the scouts) and getting my mind of the sickness made me feel better. I knew it was my Heavenly Father who helped me. I mean I know he wanted me to see his beautiful waterfalls in Arizona. He wanted me to enjoy spending time outdoors. I feel bad because I wanted the whole point of the trip to be about making myself better. Improving my life. But all I did was eat candy in the car, watch movies, and counting the minutes until I was home. I didn't sit down and just enjoy what I had. I realize now how grateful I am for everything that I have. I love my friends. They are the most amazing people that I know. We don't always get along and sometimes I get really frustrated when they act immature. But the point is that they are all great and they all have their own individual problems and I should just learn to be patient with them. They are great people and I love them. There is even one friend who doesn't like me very much. I mean I try, but anyways I am very grateful for that person. I'm grateful for all the wonderful times that we have had. The good and fun times when we aren't mad at each other. I'm also grateful for my family. They are so awesome. They care about my needs and always are willing to help me. I'm grateful for my phone. I have an iphone and I love it. There are so many things I can do on it. Anyway my heart is full today and I love it. Today I went to church and I felt the Spirit so strong in Priesthood. It was so good. I love feeling the spirit. I also felt the Spirit while I was watching the movie "The Testaments." If you don't know what it is look it up. It's a great movie!!!! Anyway I love SUMMER. It is so AWESOME. I love the warm weather and hanging out with my friends. I love singing at the top of my lungs in my sister's room. I love looking out the window from the top floor of my house and seeing the sunset. I always think of the beach. I love the beach. I want to go to LA so badly. I've never been there before and I would love to see the freeway and the awesome beaches there. We actually started heading there yesterday. My leaders got on the wrong freeway and started going to LA. I was so excited until they realized they were going the wrong way and turned around. Ya oh I am so excited to watch a new episode of "Sam and Cat." It's a funny show. Okay well I will write soon. Bye!!!! Bye!!!! Bye!!!! (Backstreet Boys style)
