Hugs in the form of chocolate.

So I realized after reading what I wrote last night again that I must be having a down period. It's a relief in a way. Good to know I could still cry. Hadn't really done it in a while. Strange huh?

My roommate found something on our door yesterday for me while I was here talking to Mark. It was a bag of chocolate hugs and a little card thingy with a note on it. It didn't hit me till this morning how perfectly timed it was.

I bore my testimony about tithing in church on Sunday. I had a humbling experience recently. I hadn't been keeping up with paying my tithing and had been struggling financially - not having enough money for textbooks and such. When I finally decided to pay back my debt, a little miracle happened. I somehow achieved top sales for videotapes last month. As tourguides, we encourage our guests to upgrade the free souvenir videos we give them and get to keep 10% of the sales we make. I sold over $600 worth of videos. Wow. I think $600 is their monthly target for each salesperson they have and I don't evem work for them, so, yeah. That's pretty cool. So, that's not a HUGE chunk of commision for me, but more than I usually get. So there. Extra cash for me. What was also really neat was that I got a $10 shopping card for walmart. I'm pleased.

I believe that blessings come through obedience. I couldn't have done it without outside help.

Anyway, back to my card. It read:

"We really enjoyed your testimony today. You have such a warm & loving personality. Your friendship is felt by so many. zThank you for being such a great example to all of us here at BYU-Hawaii. Our love & hugs are with you all week. Keep that beautiful smle of yours.You really are a wonderful woman & child of God."

It was anonymous. I guess those are the best kind of notes. They make you want to do something wonderful and nice for the world.

I needed that. Heavenly Father just finds these wonderful ways to let us know that he is watching over us. Makes me wonder if someone needed a note I wrote them. Whatever it is, I will definitely write more.

So yeah. When all else fails, find comfort in knowing that Heavenly Father loves you and in chocolate.
