Whatchamacallit!

A few days ago, as I was buying a few things from the Creamery Grocery store, and upon checkin out, I glanced over at the candy bar section. Now, I don't normally buy candy bars, but today, a particular candy bar caught my eye. Back my freshman year of high school, I discovered a new found love for Whatchamacallits. I'm not sure why, but I thought thy were the best thing ever. However, one day, I came to find out that my school no longer put them in the vending machines! So I went to King Soopers a few days later..and guess what? They didnt have them anymore either! Over the next four years, I would never see these candy bars again, and I pretty much believed they were discontinued. Talk about a sad four years. Now fast forward to the scenario I was talking about earlier. Can you guess what candy bar I saw?? Yep...a Whatchamcallit! And they were on sale...So i bought three.No, I didn't them all right then. I actually have 2 left. But I was SO excited, I couldn't pass up an opprotunity like this. Who knows when they will go in extinction again!

Not much has been going on lately...Just classes! I still really like all my classes..except for Biology. I mean,the teacher is really fun and nice, but I absolutely loathe the subject, and the class is an 1 1/2 long...so its like double the torture of just one regular block of class! I have to say, I really love having LDS professors! I've said that before, but yesterday just kind of reaffirmed that in me. In my Communications class, which is SO much fun and really makes me want to major in Communications, my teacher had this all section about the "spiritual application" that we can get from communications. He played us a song, Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, which I really like, and like, the Spirit was so strong! He described the Communication process to us, first in the sense of media, or just plain old conversation (via voice, text,phone, email, etc.), but then he applied it to prayer, and it was cool how it all kind of fell together! I'm really looking forward to that class though. I really like my Book of Mormon class. My teacher, Brother Hedges, is really knowledgable. This is his first semester teaching Book of Mormon, but has taught Church History classes for a long time. Instead of just starting right into the Book of Mormon, he decided to devote the first few class periods to talking about the coming forth of the Book of Mormon. I really thought I knew a lot about Joseph Smith obtaining and translating the plates, but I have already learned quite a bit. Like, I knew that there were large plates/small plates, but I didn't realize which parts were used in the Book of Mormon we read today, what each of the plates contained, etc. There were so man miracles that happened during the translation of the Book of Mormon, and my testimony of it has already grown through this class. Professor Hedges talked about how Joseph Smith used a "seer stone" to translate a majority of the Book of Mormon, and how a lot of people have trouble accepting this, more so than accepting him using the Urhim and Thummum. I mean, that would make sense..I mean, how could something as simple and common as a rock help translate such a holy book? Especially because Joseph had found it back in 1822, while digging a well, and felt impressioned to keep it. That was even before he had the first initial vision of the Book of Mormon. However, while Professor Hedges was talking about this, the scripture Alma 37:6 came to mind. It says “Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances both confound the wise”. I think that scripture really emphasizes that miraculous things can be done by the most simple mean. That can be applied to Joseph Smith as well..I mean, he was uneducated and worked on a farm, yet he brought the Gospel into this dispensation..It's so cool!

Today I saw a police officer pull a girl over...who was riding her bike..on campus. It was funny.

I don't really have anything else momentious or exciting to talk about. It's a Friday Night. 9:36. And what am I doing? Absolutely nothing. I think I may be going to bed earlier tonight than I haveany other day this whole time I've been here. Is that pathetic or what? I need more friends.

And...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TORI! It's so crazy that you're already five! I miss you so much and can't wait to see you again :) You are so beautiful and you can always make me smile or laugh! I hope your birthday was the funnest ever!!
