Seminary Graduation!

Tonight was seminary graduation! Woohoo! It was just amazing :)

I had to speak tonight as well. I spoke with a great friend of mine, and I think we both did a great job! Spencer is such a great guy and I'm so glad he was nervous like me. There were SO many people there tonight! So many family and friends, and I'm so thankful for the support that was shown, it truly did show how important seminary is. It was almost more nerve racking because everyone I go to school with was sitting front row joe!! :/ But it worked out just fine. I don't think I even looked at anyone!

But then something crazy happened. While Spencer and I were sitting there, he told me Brother Smith would be coming (our seminary teacher.) That just made me more nervous because Brother Smith was in my talk. I was going to tell about him and the experiences I've had in his class. I cried. I'm such a bawler. Seriously it gets annoying sometimes, but it just always proves the spirit is with me and it definitely was tonight. I was kind of having a bad day, and I got really nervous for tonight, but I said a prayer in my heart to have Heavenly Father help me stay calm, and to have the spirit with me and to help me through this. I instantly was overwhelmed with a feeling of calmness. I didn't shake the entire talk and I got through it just fine! So many people came up to me and thanked me for my talk. It really means a lot that I could touch so many peoples hearts in one night. I'm so thankful for the opportunity I had to speak and I couldn't have been more honored to. It was a wonderful ceremony. I cannot believe I'm graduated from seminary. It makes me a little sad because I'm going to miss it, but I can't wait for what's in store in my future :)

The parents!

My seminary teacher, Hank Smith :)
