Oh -My- Gosh!!!! It's freaking finals week and I'm about to pull out my splitended ( I now i spelt thids wrong, just go with it!), color fading hair!! ( see why I need your magical hair abilities Ann!!) I have 4-5 hours of studying for a chem final, 2 take home finals, one paper, a Child Development video to create... YIKES, and a partirge in cherry tree! ( we don't have pare trees here in rexburg...at least none that I've seen) So needless to say this is going to be a long week. Now I promise that I didn't write all of this to gain sympathy....trust sympathy is NOT going to help me!!

Last night at 11:30 we lost Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin at the age of 91 years old.

He was the oldest of all the apostles.

You may remember his talk in the October 2008 Conference,

" Come What May, and Love It".

He spoke about having a good attitude in the face of adversity, depending on how we react to problems that arrive this will determine our happiness in this life.

And you know what...He is totally right!

Elder Wirthlin was definently inspired when he gave this talk, reacting in a pleasent way to soemthing terrible or sad, can really make a difference!

I have learned this princple and I am continuing to apply it to my every day life!

Don't you think you should try it too? :)

2 things...

I am truly blessed! I know, I know that sounds so...well obviouse! But it is the unflinching truth, and let me explain why. This whole experence has taught me so many things, patients is a big one! For those that knew me prior to coming up here, you know that I was NOT in any way, shape, or form a patient person! And while I"m on the subject I want to apologize to all my siblings for every time I lost my temper when I was at home. I wasn't in a good place in high school and I know that that is NO excuse, but I really am very sorry. Especially to Zachary, I'm so sorry little brother, I love you so much and I regret so much every time I was short with you or hurt your feelings! I promise to be better, because I have learned patients, I have also learned not to pre-judge. I've learned that getting to know people and figuring out who they are and what they're all about is really what needs to happen. But the biggest thing I've learned is forgivness, the power that lies behind this principle is incredible. I resently had to write a paper for my religion class on this principle. Essentially we had to pick something that we wanted to learn more about, and forgivness was something I felt I needed to understand better. I did some research, read some articles, and foud for myslef what the treu meaning was. The paper became very easy to write after that, it was much like writting a talk! I would share it on my blog, but I can't add an attachment. But if anyone would like a copy ( don't feel like you HAVE to read it) just email me at breperkins@gmail.com or per08004@byui.edu! I am greatful for all that has happened in my life sense coming here, this place and the Spirit of Ricks will always a hold a very special place in my heart:)

Oh P.S. I know that some of you have been wanting my address, sorry it has taken so long to get it to you.
