Am I Accepted?

Oct. 15th

I think that today was technically the first day we could find out if we got into medical school. I will wait it out until Monday to see if that is officially the first day and see what happens from there. I checked my e-mail a number of times in between going to the Lake water skiing and checking out a house that is for sale with Rachel (it turned out to be an awesome missionary experience. I think she and her children will eventually come to church here soon).  Although I didn't receive any e-mails today, I wasn't overly worried about it. I know that I will be accepted to the right place at the right time. I know we were supposed to move down here to Lubbock Texas for a reason. I felt it in my heart and I still feel it in my heart today that this is the right place to be right now.  I Love it here, we have great friends, we have an incredible Texan son, we have fun activities (boating today is the just about the biggest highlight of my stay thus far), fun food, and dreams. Rachel and I have great dreams. We want to get into medical school, we want to purchase a beautiful home that is close to the temple, we want to be missionaries and share the gospel with so many people!  We want, I want, to build a wood burning stove for the best pizza's on earth!  We want to grow a garden and a did I mention raise a beautiful and wonderful and righteous family?!! These are our dreams and we are making them happen. What a beautiful and wonderful life. We are so grateful for our blessings and opportunities. I am happy and know I would not be as happy if I had not followed the promptings from the Lord and lived in a manner conducive to receiving that council from him.  I know God lives, Jesus is our Savior, our Redeemer, the only way back to the Father.  I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord's kingdom! I know it is and it will grow to fill the earth one day soon. Of this I bear testimony of, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
