\nKind of a wild weekend here. Full of ups and downs. But in each “bad” we can also see a “good”.<\/p>\n

Natalie and her friend Maggie slid off the road in Heriman on Saturday morning on their way to a debate tournament and had to be helped out of the snow. <\/p>\n

They took first place in duo at that tournament.<\/em>

I twisted my ankle in the parking lot of the stake center for our Women’s conference. I grabbed onto the side view mirrors of two cars. Thankfully, I did not break those mirrors. <\/p>\n

It was a wonderful conference full of great speakers and fellowship and I’m so glad I was there.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jenna’s parakeet flew out of the house at the end of her party when two of her friends went out to get into the car and flew away from us when we tried to find it. We tried to catch her, but she kept flying away and landing in higher and higher trees, until she flew over the house and we lost sight of her.<\/p>\n

Jenna’s friends all came outside to help us look. When we couldn’t find the bird and Jenna was in tears, all of her friends gathered together to say a prayer. Even though it was freezing outside, those girls were out there, some without coats, searching the neighborhood for that bird. It was dark and getting late, and I had to take them home, but they didn’t want to go. They all wanted to keep searching for that bird because they knew how sad Jenna was to lose it. Those are some good friends.<\/em><\/p>\n

Megan drove home from our house back to her apartment on Sunday night. Roads were very slick and she had to go quite slowly. I was worried when I hadn’t heard from her, even though it had been over two hours since she had left.<\/p>\n

Megan’s roommate had also been traveling back to school, when she slid off the road and hit the barrier. She was able to drive her car to Nephi after the accident, where Megan picked her up and took her home with her. Later, the roommates insisted she go to the hospital to have her injuries checked out. Minor concussion and bruised rib, but she’ll be ok.<\/em><\/p>\n

Things happen. Good things. Great things. Horrible things. Annoying things. But even in the bad, I think we can still find some good.<\/p>\n

Life is all about perspective. The sinking of the Titanic was a miracle to the lobsters in the ship’s kitchen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
