Weekend Warriors

Howdy Y'all!

This has been such a crazy, insane, and fun week for us Geddes'. We have crammed for tests until we felt like we were dying, played games with our friends until we cried of laughter, I began training for my new job, and we got to spend some really amazing time together at our favorite place in Provo, the Temple.

 

Jeff and I were invited to come crash two of our favorite people's house for dinner and scattergories. Sarah is seriously the best cook ever. Every time we go over there, something gourmet is cooking. This time it was chicken tortilla soup (my fave), and stuffed bell peppers. Then we played scattergories, and I learned that Jeff can be quite creative with his responses at times...:) Needless to say, I won. Well, Almost..

 

 

 Then it was temple date night for us for the week. We got to do sealings for some of my ancestors who have passed away. Seriously, such a special experience. This sounds cheesy, but every time we come to this special place together, our love grows sweeter, and deeper. I love him so much!

 

 

 

We were starved when we left, so Jeff surprised me and brought me to one of my favorite restaurants, OG (olive garden, obviously). 

 

 

 

 

And finally, today we got the opportunity to give talks on the atonement at church. I loved being able to reflect on the Savior, and his sacrifice for us, especially around this very special time of year. One scripture I came across had a huge impact on how I began to think of Christ, and how his love can change us:

John 14:"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; Not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

 

Jeff's talk was awesome, per usual, and one thing that I really loved that he spoke about, was how we all have times in our lives when we feel like we can't get up, or are just kind of stuck. It is exactly those times that the Lord will pick us up and bring us back into his arms, through the atonement, and help us to feel the immense love he has for each one of us, individually.
