Hello you all!
These past couple of weeks have been crazy. I feel like as we are moving closer to the wedding, Satan is really working on Matt and I. Especially me. Matt and I were called to serve as YSA leaders for our ward, and it really is a huge calling, however so amazing! We love our calling!!!! There is really a lot to do with it since we are basically helping start a program up in the Stake. We go to FHE and Institute each week, and invite others to do so as well. We also call and meet with inactive kids and their families. We are even helping teach a YSA Sunday school class at church now! What a wonderful way that we get to serve the Lord and our fellow YSA members.
Matt and I are both still working and I am going to school, and we almost always have an appointment during the evening at some point (usually for church). So as you can see, I am obviously feeling a little stressed out.... oh did I mention I am also planning a wedding?
The Lord is wonderful though, and I know by serving others and fulfilling my callings I will be blessed. The Lord knows me and what I need. And what Matt and I need. I have been praying a lot for the opportunity to keep the Sabbath day holy, because I have a tutoring student that I meet on Sundays. I got a call today and the mom said that her grades had gone up and she was doing her homework on her own, and enjoying reading! My heart could have melted right there! Her mom also said that she thinks that she won't be needing tutoring anymore, meaning my Sundays are now free from work. It is hard to say goodbye to her after working with her and her family for a over a year, but I know that it is God's plan. It is just a new chapter to my life and hers.
Five months and thirteen days until the wedding, if I counted right. Lots more to do, but I pray that the process may be enjoyable and exciting. I am so ready to be Mrs. Lundervold, and to come home to my prince every night for the eternities :) We love you all and appreciate your support for us.
~ Emily and Matt
