So a lot happened this past week. I'll do a brief recap for all y'all.
I had my last senior prom last Friday/Saturday and had a blast, but I woke up Monday morning with an illness. It only got worse, and Tuesday I developed a fever. So I had the missionaries and my dad give me a blessing because I felt very, very ill. It was a very beautiful blessing and an elder that meant very much to me gave me a beautiful reminder that my Father in Heaven loves me. Then he was transferred. Sad. But he's learning and growing in another place where he has been called to train a greenie...
Grandma and grandpa flew in on Wednesday and that night was my Senior Awards night. I earned two certificates/awards and three scholarships totaling almost $1000! Then Kirsten flew in on Thursday and that night I was ordained to be an Elder! It was such a great thing, but even better was what came after. Not even a minute after i was ordained my good friend asked me to give him a blessing (as he had a very important test coming up). It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life and I was very happy. Later on was the Senior Night, a weird form of a talent show. it was very nice but just felt weird...being with my class after being away for so long.
I had an open house on Saturday and about 100 or so people showed up in about two hours. Graduation was Sunday afternoon. It was nice, and all of my friend's speeches were wonderful (the class president, valedictorian, and salutatorian are all my friends).
It was a very eventful week and very exciting...but now things are settling down and I need to find things to do.
Que todo vaya bien.

I am still so impressed by the fact that you were able to give a wonderful priesthood leader, a blessing. J. is an inspired man. I am glad that he is part of our lives!
Your blessing was totally amazing, as well. I was so glad that you were blessed with all the things you would need this week. I had to keep reminding myself that you were blessed to be well. (You had to remind me once as well.) Your faith needs to continue to be this strong.
