Preachy

This might sound preachy or something but this is how I feel.  This weekend 4 roomies went home and the other had her family coming up.  She hung out with them all day and then they invited me to go see 17 miracles with them last night.  I really liked that movie.  It was about the LDS pioneers and the miracles they had on their journey to Salt Lake City.  Yes I did cry.  When I feel the spirit I do cry.  Deal with it.  But anyways it reminded me about when I went on the Trek with my stake.  When we went to Wyoming it rained sideways pretty much the whole time.  After everyone thought it was a good experience we had to have weather that was close to what the actual pioneers had.  They all said they would bring warmer clothes but I would keep it the exact same way it was.  Bringing clothes would change the hardship we went through and it would change the experience.  The only warm thing I brought was my light, and when I say light I mean light, jacket.  In the mornings it would be nice and through the day it would be cloudy but by dinner time it would be raining sideways and the wind would be like at least 60 miles an hour.  One day one of the bus drivers told us that he saw funnels forming in the clouds and the wind was like 90.  That was pretty scary but cool at the same time.  My favorite part about the Trek was the womens pull.  One of the lady's who is married to one of the counselors in the Stake Presidentry was telling us how we need each other and how we need to be strong for the young men.  I was crying and she had us say the young women theme I couldn't say it cause I was balling. 
We did the womens pull and after we met together again and the young men met together.  I don't remember what she said but the young men then said "Hurrah for the women of Israel" three times and then they threw there hats in the air.  I cried, again and we did a gaint young women group hug.  That was my favorite of all.
Thats what the movie made me remember.  Brother Savage, near the end, said "I would look back to see who was helping me pull the wagon but would find no one. I knew the angels were helping."  That touched me.  It made me remember all those times I have been touched by the angels and those who help me.  It makes me tingle/feel the spirit just thinking about it.
I haven't felt the spirit in for awhile.  I was taking these pills that would help my stupid hormones get on track.  I had to stop taking them for some reasons.  But during those like 5 months it was harder for me to feel the spirit.  When I was at girls camp I only felt it a little.  Now that I am off of them and they are out of my system I can feel it.  It makes me so happy that I can feel it.
I know its preachy but I wanted to get it off my chest.  I know that the LDS church is true and I know that President Monson is a true Prophet of God.  I know that my Savior lived and died for me.  I know I will be with him and my family again.  I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.  :)
