Poor Rachel.

I was so bitter against Rachel because she got me into so much trouble when in reality all she really did was make a few blunt comments about religion and be her self. She didn't deserve my bitterness or any of that other garbage but she got it. I am sorry dear Rachel Jane Wise.

Hahaha but let's be real, she'll be fine.

My computer may be full..

But hey, at least I didn't spend an extra 300 dollars on it so it could take a crap on me. #DoYourResearchBuddy

I'm sorry.. What?

Excuse me?!

Crafts.

I want to perfect my new craft. Not a day goes by when I don't think about it. But I am hopeful for the future.

Sometimes.

Sometimes it's hard to be the better person.
It's hard to be the Bigger person.
Sometimes it's hard to not completely lose it.
But in the end. It is always worth it in the end. Always. I am thankful for my parents and examples teaching me to really care and help me become the person I am.
I am thankful.

Tonight.

Tonight was a lot of fun, it was a real confidence booster. Technically, it wasn't a date or at least it was never addressed as a date.

My friend Amy had invited me to a school play she had wanted to see. Me being pretty flexible and open to almost anything, I accepted the invitation! I was pretty excited to hang out and catch up with Amy, I had never really spend much 1 on 1 time with her and it was cool seeing this girl I met as a freshman (I was a sophomore at the time) turn into the awesome girl she is today, really seeing that change as we talked and spent time together tonight. I showed up at her house, I was excited to pop in and say hi to the Durret's (long time friends) and catch up with her parents and older sister for a quick minute. Brian (Amy's dad) made a joke about how I didn't ask permission to take his daughter out for the night, I quickly replied saying "Ah, but you see Amy is the one taking me out and she had forgot to ask my parents if it were alright if she took me out." Brian genuinely enjoyed this joke and sent us off. We got in my truck and it never really got awkward, we were talking, joking and just having a good time. We showed up to the school play thing early so we decided to dip and go get circle K so we could have snacks and shig during the play. While we were at circle K Amy told me she had pre bought our tickets which made me pretty happy, the fact that she bought tickets just made the whole invitation more thoughtful. haha So I really enjoyed that. The play was super funny just because me and Amy couldn't stop cracking jokes at all the lines and kids in the play. Regardless, the play(s) were really funny (As funny as high school plays could be.) Afterwords we decided to hit up Fro Yo (I decided to officially seal the deal as a cheesy first date by taking Amy out to frozen yogurt. ((Shout out to Alyssa because she loves that garbage.)) and I bought Amy frozen yogurt. After that I took her home because she had school in the morning but we decided we would get together again and just watch movies and hang out with everyone.

Overall, Tonight was genuinely a lot of simple fun. I loved it.

What is this.

So intrigued, it reads above.

Stay True Girls.

Felt something.

A friend posted this on her wall today and I listened to it (naturally) and I forgot how many emotions can be tied with a single song. With all these notes, rhythms, melodies, beats and lyrics. That is why I love music more than anything. Music can remind you of things so you never forget, music is infinite.

A letter.

A letter from a friend so close to my heart. I can't say this doesn't move me a little. I can't say this doesn't blow my mimd a little. I can't say I am not excited for what's to come.

Dear Family and Friends,

 I am now a missionary, it's official. The MTC is amazing. Today is my 6th day here and i can finally kinda say im used to it all and im getting closer to getting used to the sleep schedule haha! I probably shoulda started getting my sleep schedule on track BEFORE the mtc, but its all good. I miss everyone, a lot. Theres not a lot that i dont miss. My first day/night might have been the hardest thing ive ever had to do. Saying goodbye to my family and friends for two years. Basically abandoning everything i know, except for the church, la iglesia de jesucristo de los santos de los ultimos dias. As you can see spanish is going great! not even a week in and me and my companion have been teaching an investigator. My companions name is Elder Carpenter, hes from gilbert and went to higley! I even found out he did bug spray for bryant black's family! Crazy! hes going to the spokane, washington mission. Pardon all my grammar and punctuation errors.... this keyboard SUCKS. The first couple of days were rough, wake up at 6:30, get ready, got to class, then go to breakfast, then go to class, then go to lunch, then go to class, then go to dinner, then go back to class till 9:30 at night.... for someone like me (a psycho) ITS CRAZY. sometimes we have 6 hours of class at a time....

Its been really hard missing my family. I miss my mom, dad, amy, derek, mitch, AND toby! lets just say that besides me balling after getting set apart, and balling at the airport, my pillow has been wet a couple nights here. I just barely did laundry. now i know how flippin annoying it is!!! holy cow it sucks, especially with like 100 other elders tryna wash their clothes! P-day is such a nice break from constant class though, thats for sure.

Sunday was awesome. Sacrement meeting, priesthood, and the fireside were all so good! My teacher, brother herman, is awesome. he teaches me so much, and i can already tell the difference in my teaching, studying, and attitude towards being a missionary, i love him. I only have a couple minutes left, i spent like 10 just trying to figure out all this email crap! 

Mom, i love you, so much. I miss you probably the most. you have done SO much for me over the years and it is the rerason im here today. without your example, love, and nurturing id probably be on the streets. I know ill never be able to make it up to you, or thank you enough, but i hope serving a mission was a good birthday present for you, I love you. 

Dad, same for you. i know i wasnt good at showing it, but your a good example and a hero in my eyes. Im so thankful for everything youve taught me. I know we always have butted heads but, hey, we did alright:) I love you.

Derek, be good. dont be a brat like i was in highschool. Make sure you pick good friends and choose the right, always. I love you

Mitch, work hard. You better be doing your homework and studying and doing WHATEVER mom asks. even if that is taking out the trash! and if you ever are sad, or feel alone, remember im praying for you, mom and dad are, and heavenly father loves you. I love you buddy, thanks for talking at my farewell, good job.

Amy, I MISS YOU SO MUCH. i Miss how you always gave me hugs and told everyone im your favorite brother:) I love you so much, and hope your doing all that mom asks you to do too! keep being the perfect little angel you are. Im praying for you too! i love you amy:)

Well, im out of time:( but, i love you all, thanks for everything youve done for me, you dont know how much youve really helped me get to this point. All the leaders, friends, teachers, and Bishop Mccleve. THank you, so much.

Hopefully my mom can figure out how to forward this to everyone! and dont forget IF YOU WANT TO SEND ME FOOD THEN I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Until next week!

Love,

Elder Wahlin

I don't really think I need to say much more about how I feel about this post, letter, or the feelings it makes me feel.

I am tired of feeling like a nagging puppy.

Ha Nobody ever text me back. It's seriously the most annoying thing ever.

A Short Story.

Twenty Dollars 

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. “Who would like this $20 bill?”

Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this.” 

He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.

“Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the
ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?”

Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No
matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. 

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by who we are.

Oh yeah I forgot..

I NEED 10,000 DOLLARS.

Late Night.

 I think about Surfing everyday.

 I am really into Brand New.

If you haven't seen this show then you really need to. (Arrested Development)

An Old Friend.

Tonight I looked at alcohol. I watched people drink alcohol. I watched good, old, friends drink alcohol. This isn't new to me. Alcohol wormed its way into my life when I was fifteen and some points it has had its way with me. Tonight I missed alcohol. My mind recreated the warm, illusive feeling that overcame me as the hard liquor would poor down the insides of my body, almost like it was crawling down my spine. but at the end of tonight, I walked away from alcohol. Not even giving a second thought.

Heartless.

I am so sleepless.

I just want to be out of town all the Time because when I am home I am reminded of all the many things I want and just can't have right now. Being out if town is the best because it isn't real. Basically it's time I just be a grown up and deal.
