Una

I had the weirdest dream last night. I was praying and praying for these two little children, siblings, maybe twins, to be healed. They were very poor and lived in an underground sewer and were incredibly sick. I wanted them to be better, I hoped that my faith was strong enough to cure them but I woke up before I could find out. Their names were in some way tattooed/imprinted on their little feet and one of the babies was Una. How on earth could I know this name? I just thought my mind had messed up on naming this kid.

False.

I'm in my English class and we are reading East of Eden where one of the character's names is Una. How could I possibly know that?? I havn't read to that part yet! How is it possible that I dreamed about that name without knowing it before hand and then stumble across it in a book written 60 years ago. Craazzyyy!!!

What does this mean?

Lookin Good In My Jeans

I am getting thiner but the scale refuses to acknowledge that! haha Today I weighed in at 190.6 but a few weeks ago I finally was 188. My work out scheduled has gotten screwed up but I'm feeling tons better than I used to. Larlee is really good at encouraging and supporting me in my weight loss journey. She helps me avoid chocolate and congratulates me on eating healthy foods. She's just great! She just said that my jeans look good and I made some comment on how we have the same ones haha. She said, "Kari, its not the jeans, it's you in them!" That made me feel really good. =D

Elder Perrys top 4 things to Establishing Christianity

1) Pray

2) Daily Scripture Study

3) Temple Worthiness

4) Daily Acts of Service

I can do tons better on all four of these things. I plan on going with my ward to the Temple this Saturday. On Wednesdays people from my ward go to a Spanish ward to help the kids with their homework and I'm going to start going to that as well. Praying and studying my scriptures are things I need to work on on my own though.

Jimmer Mania

well, last night was a HUGE disappointment. we lost our first basketball game in a long time with more than 10 points between us the entire game... it was sad. ='(

whats more sad though is that we lost one of our favorite players. brandon davies had a little temptation which resulted in his suspension from the team and possibly the school. this boy named chris has a wonderful blog post about staying positive and not making the situation worse for him and i encourage you all to read it.
