I Probably Looked Like a Fool.

It's true. I'm really good at looking like a fool. But there's one occasion that I can't seem to forget. That is the last day of EFY. One of the very last things we do is sing the EFY Medley and the years theme song together as companies in the gym swaying in a big circle. It's truly one of the coolest things you will EVER experience. 

If you truly know me, whenever it comes to anything with the gospel, I'm a ball-baby. (I blame my mom. She cries too about that kind of stuff. Adam and I agree we have her eye plumbing.) Typically by the middle of the EFY Medley I'm in tears. But this time was different. It's not like I wasn't extremely sad about not seeing those people everyday, but that I was just HAPPY.

 I probably looked like a fool just swaying there with everyone and having a grin on my face. I couldn't be sad. Because the Gospel takes me to places that nowhere else can. It brings me happiness that NOTHING and NOBODY else can. Happiness is hard to describe if you never felt sadness. 

I was TRULY happy in that moment. I felt the love that Heavenly Father feels for his children as I looked at the people that I had just spent an amazing week with. I know I needed to experience that happiness then. Although, I may not know now completely why, but I did. 

I'm so happy I experienced that. There's nothing that can compare to seeing others the way Heavenly Father and Christ see them. NOTHING. 

~Even if you probably look like a fool, still live the Gospel you know. Keep that burning testimony. Love life. That's what makes life Full of Smiles.~
