7/5 Prayers answered and Sealings done, Library

I heard back from Colton School District about the Librarian job at Wilson Elementary! They need me to take a test next week on Wednesday some time that'll be set once I call tomorrow to schedule the test. Hopefully, in between that time I can study and get well prepared for the test, because I really want this job. What's great is I told Sarah my concerns about how if I get this job, I wouldn't be able to move to Utah because I'd be working here in Cali. I told her that I feel conflicted and I want the best for both of us. Well, I went to the temple and between that time and the time I got out she came to the realization that I do love her and that I am committed and that I don't have to prove myself by moving to Utah when I have this job on the horizon. So she said that she can move down here. But she also said that in between the time, I can move up to Utah for a month. Sure, it might be hard to get the parents to sign on to this, but I think it is definitely doable. I hope everything works out between us and with the job.

This is definitely an answer to my prayers. And it is quite funny to because I had just put our names on the prayer roll for extra help in our matters. God really does answers prayers. I had a good time at the temple. We did sealings tonight. I was the only YSA and I was accompanied by Brother Steve Harris, Brother Brian O'Neill, and Bishop Ellsworth and his wife. Sister Ellsworth brought a whole bunch of names, like so many. So many that her names overshadowed mine and Brother Harris'. We didn't get to finish all our names and the ones that didn't get finished got mixed up in Sister Ellsworth's names. We got them all squared away. I did get six names and one couple done. It was good being there with the adults. We really need representation at these gatherings. I shouldn't be the only YSA there, just saying. Last quarter we had Claire Larson, Hailey Daker, and Ludim Ojeda. Oh well. What can you do.

Other than that, it's been a lazy day. I did get up early, but after a horrible night of sleeping for me. Mom asked me to go to the grocery store to pick up ingredients for Peruvian spaghetti this morning. She gave me $40 but I only spent $10, haha. I helped by washing the dishes, while the adults made the lunch. The spaghetti was really good.

Brother Harris bought me the 4 for 4 deal at Wendy's tonight. I learned something new about him: that he can't handle burgers with mayonnaise. He can't handle dressings on Salads. And he doesn't like the In N Out spread. Crazy! I can't live without those things. He does like mustard and ketchup.

I like to say again how much I know God answers prayers. I had just petitioned the Lord with this daunting possibility that I might not be able to go to Utah to live, and Sarah Rebecca feels that I am worth it enough and trustworthy enough to move back to California! It's a miracle! Really hope things work out between us. I know that everything will work out.
