Hot Chocolate Kinda Day

So it's starting to get cold now and I'm kinda sad. I bet you that I'll wake up tomorrow to some snow, and it's not going to leave until March or April.
Oh Utah.
The thing is though; I love snow actually.
It is so beautiful and peaceful. I love the perfect white blanket of icy, wet, snow that crunches beneath your footsteps.
I love wearing colorful, frilly, scarves and and pulling on large snow boots. Warm gloves and funny hats. Does this coat make me look fat?
I love the rosy cheeks and complexions of children and friends. I love seeing your breath, and purposefully breathing hard just to see it better.
I love snowflakes that land on your eyelashes and nose.
(That line kinda sounded like something from 'sound of music'...)
I love making snowmen and snow angels. Snowball fights and sledding are a must.
Fantasy: Dancing in the snow...
The tingle in your fingers when they get too wet or cold.
Walking under a tree and watching a pile of snow from above come landing right on ya.
(Been there before)
Ah snow.
Well, I like it better from my window while drinking hot chocolate.
I love Tuesdays, even though they are busy. I got up early this morning and walked out the door at 8:25am. Man is it cold out today!
I went to my public speaking class where we discussed several General Conference talks and how to incorporate quotes, jokes, and statistics into the introduction of our speeches.
Next I went to our school's weekly devotional. We had a most excellent speaker today. He talked about the importance of the Atonement. He talked about it in such a unique way; I really loved it and I don't wish to get too personal here. It was a great devotional.
I went to my Doctrine and Covenants class with my roommate; I had to present today. I taught from section 25; a revelation given to sister Emma Smith. I love this section. It talks a bit about the importance of the hymns of the church and how music is pleasing to our Heavenly Father. Something that I liked was how she was told to remember to support her husband in his calling; to comfort and use consoling words in his afflictions. "Let thy soul delight in thy husband..."
In my break, I went to the cafe with my roommate and ate lunch with her. Afterwards, I went to my mission prep class. I really enjoyed class today. Something that stood out to me were these three ideas that he presented:
1. You don't have to suffer to be forgiven.
2. You have to suffer in order to change.
3. You have to change in order to be forgiven.
I met up with some friends after my class and the three of us went to the Temple; I had a really sweet experience there. They took me home afterwards and I have been working on my homework since then...
Ah homework never seems to end.
Neither does the snow...
