Family Home Evening At The Millers …The J0uRney There, The LeSs0n LErNed

Would I be able to make it to Fhe at Br. Millers home? That was the question I asked throughout the day as I tried to study and get ready for my exam. I decided that I would leave class 15 minutes early to get the exam out of the way a lot faster. When 5:00 came I bounced and headed to the testing center. Tick tock, tick tock, I kept watching the clock hoping that I would be able to finish in time. 6:00 came, I think I was up to question 69. The questions seem to get harder and harder while the clock goes faster. It’s a race against time. 6:25, almost finished, oh my gosh oh my gosh I think I can do it. Bu ya, 6:30 and what, I’m done.. Hand in the test, grade wasn’t my best but called up the roommates and we hit the road. Crazy, crazy. We were bugging out od in the car, my retarded roommate stretched over me and opened the door. Dude oh my gosh I was freaking out in the car, this girls is crazy, does she want to kill me what the heck? Then her boyfriend saw this girl who wronged his brother in the car next to us. OH my gosh everyone went crazy. They started a crazy car race, bugging out on the freeway it was mad funny but at the same time it was retarded. I’m surrounded by a bunch of crazies. Getting off the freeway we got lost about three times, everyone was giving up on finding this place, they wanted to go to the stupid mall, I was not having it. I raced to finish my test we were going to make it, and so we did.
We played in the game room a little then Br. Miller had us watch a talk given by President Monson titled, Finding Joy in the Journey. The talk was inspiring, it spoke of change and an appreciation for all that we have no matter or individual circumstance. I truly felt the spirit. Br. Miller closed the spiritual though by decaling to us that we too have to find joy in the journey. He stated that we are young but nothing last forever, and that we need to tell those that we love that we love them, and appreciate them. He said that we need to be thankful and show gratitude each day for all that the lord has blessed us with because he has given us a lot. After his remarks we had desert and we added paper feathers with one thing that we were thankful for and we glued them on to the turkey, a paper turkey of course. We then played catch phrase, girls against boys and obviously the girls won, 2 out of 3. It was a very intense game, I don’t think I’ve ever yelled so much in front of any of my church leaders before. At the end of the night everyone was thankful that we decided to attend even though we got lost so many times. We each found something beneficial in the Fhe meeting. I truly felt a confirmation of the importance of Fhe and how it will bless our lives.
