"We are glad for our troubles also we know that troubles help us learn not to give up. When we have learned not to give up, it shows we have stood the test. When we have stood the test, it gives us HOPE."
So I have now been in Fresno for 2 months. The first few weeks were so hard, I guess you don't really see how much one does need family and friends until they are not there every day. I would give anything to have a hug and kiss from my parents. I would give anything to have one of my many debates with Amalia. I would love to have great coffee with great/amazing friends.
School was also hard adjusting to. I now know what it is like never going to bed before midnight. Sleep is something that I seem to get less and less of.
Please don't get me wrong, Fresno has been a huge blessing to me. It has helped me grow up. I mean after all so far I have been successful living completely on my own. I have learned who I am and I think Fresno has helped me see who I want to be and how people see me. Oh yeah and did I mention I love going to Fresno football games! We have not been too successful, which if you know me that is hard to see my team lose. I still love every second of every game, just the next few days I don't have a voice!
The most important thing I have learned is no matter what I do the Lord has to be my right hand man, when I have hit my lows He has picked me up and given me sudden blessings. I have a strength in myself that I did not have before.
I guess trials=hope
MISS ALL OF YOU BACK HOME!
