Seasons of Change

"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity wold not be so welcome." -Anne Bradstreet

The seasons are changing in Provo, Ut. This week we had a lovely snow fall on to the mountains and also a taste of it down in the valleys. I love the quote above but I think I would change it to say something like this. "If we had no spring and summer, the winter would not be so pleasant." Now I am not saying that I dislike summer or spring, but winter is amazing in Utah for many reasons. I wont list them but skiing is one and the great holidays of the winter months. It brings families together and their is a serenity of peace that comes with the white covered cities of the world. 

The title of my blog this week has more to it then just the seasons of change, but it also is a metaphor for change in ones life. Life has been a change for me over the pass couple of weeks and it has been for the better. 

If you look into nature as the season change you see that their have to be changes in order for the world to be ready for the upcoming season. Winter for example can not come with out Fall. The leaves of the trees must fall off of the tree in order for the snow to come and not kill the tree. This is the same in our lives. We must have changes in order to bring about the essential things in life. Their may be things stopping us or changes that we do not want to go up against, but if we follow thru the change brings about good. 

Life is good in Provo, Ut. I am excited for the changes of life to come and to experience the unexperienced. Change is a necessity in life and it will bring the rewards we need. 

School is good to me when I am good to it. For all those who have attended BYU with morn with me when I say that I am in Chemistry 105. This is a change from the norm. From preaching the gospel to memorizing chemicals and how to change a liter in to a molar ratio has put my life in a state of change. Also the wonders of Social life and how to act around a girl and not to bore her with stories of the mission. My life is a constant change it feels like. Change is good and will bring the better of life. I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week. 

"Sliding into Change"

"Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage." -Henry David Thoreau
