Angels

Last Friday was my Birthday! It was such a great day! It started off great! My roomies and I read a conference talk in the morning before work, and on my birthday we read the talk by Elder Holland about the ministry of Angels. It was a great way for me to reflect on all of those amazing "Angels" that have been a part of my life. So throughout the day, it helped me be aware and so grateful for all of the family and friends who make my life so wonderful! I am so blessed with so many amazing people in my life! :) Thanks to everyone for making my Birthday so Great! :)

Here is a quote from Elder Holland's talk:

"I have spoken here of heavenly help, of angels dispatched to bless us in time of need. But when we speak of those who are instruments in the hand of God, we are reminded that not all angels are from the other side of the veil. Some of them we walk with and talk with—here, now, every day. Some of them reside in our own neighborhoods. Some of them gave birth to us, and in my case, one of them consented to marry me. Indeed heaven never seems closer than when we see the love of God manifested in the kindness and devotion of people so good and so pure that angelic is the only word that comes to mind."

My birthday was truly great! I got to have a party with my students at school and my room mom's spoiled me-thank you so much! A few of my friends went to Pasta Factory for dinner and later that night we had a party with the crew! My family party was on Sunday with Alisha's! :)
It was truly a day where everyone spoiled me-thank you so much! I love you all!
