Everything!!!
Being back in Provo has been so fun. Being back in classes and work and surrounded by wonderful people is...wonderful! Not everyone feels a deep love for Provo, but I sure do. I feel blessed to know wonderful people and to get to know more wonderful people all the time. Along with all this, it has been San Diego weather in Provo for the past month so no complaints! Today while walking home I decided to sit on the grass and bask in the sun for a few minutes simply because I can. I totally loved it.
So yes, everything is new, while at the same time being very similar to how things were before my mission. It feels familiar yet different. I am the same yet different from the person I was before. Maybe that is why. It is interesting to be back into life where I have much more to think about than I did on my mission. I feel like I am re-learning how to balance school, work, relationships, spiritual growth, and physical health, etc. all at once. While it is stressful though, it is also very good. I am enjoying applying what I have learned in a real-life setting, if that makes sense.
As I have been struggling to balance things and not stress out too much about my future, the Lord has truly blessed me. And I know He does this for all of us. He gives us little tender mercies every day that remind us He is there. As Nephi writes, "I...will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance."
I am grateful for tender mercies and the gospel. I am grateful that the gospel is true! As we are faithful and strive to keep the commandments, the Lord will continue to bless us.
Love always,
Lexi
