Manicures, sisters and a troubling world.

My sister is the best ever. Seriously, not even like just as a sister, as a person. She may not be active in the church, but she is going to heaven for sure! I am so lucky that I am able to have her in my life. Her job, and my school schedule have kind of worked together nicely this semester. She is able to watch L. on Thursday for a few hours while I have a morning class. And Tuesday, since I don't have a class until evening, we are able to have a sort of sister day (with L of course!). This last week, we went and had manicures! Aside from the spa not really having anything together, we were there for 3 hours, it was a wonderful day! L even got her nails done. Words can not describe how much I love spending time with her. We have things that we don't see eye to eye on. And heaven knows I am far from being a great sister. I can only hope to try and be like her. There are so many things that I do not know how to write about. I have very strong feelings about certain things that I know others have very strong feelings about. I am not willing to budge on them. It is what it is. I have learned how to rather than cause a fight, just be there. The world is changing so much. So many great things are coming of it. But so many terrible things are happening too. And I think that the majority of the changes are bad. It's hard to stay strong. And ever more hard to raise a family with strong values and keep them together and following the faith. There are so many days while watching, ok, listening, to the news that I am terrified for the future. Prayer and faith. There are so many things that I am constantly learning. I am grateful that I have the Book of Mormon and the knowledge of faith to help me through even day to day.
