Week 4

We have been talking and reading about keeping towards the goal when the journey is hard. When bamboo seeds are planted, they take five years to show above soil and then within five weeks they are 90 feet tall. Sometimes growth is prevented by our fears and self-sabotage but sometimes it is just part of the process. That moment it finally clicks for you or the one when you realize that you have the life you've always wanted to have, is always worth it. I experienced that last year with college and how even though it has been a very scary thing growing up and not having a certain future anymore, I realized that I finally had what I'd been praying for since I was a kid. Sweet friendships, a testimony of the gospel and a relationship with Jesus, and the hope and faith and perserverence to know that I can get through anything. 
I look forward to the moment when I am self-developed enough to just act in the way I want to instead of being held back by old habits, fears, or temptations. These concepts apply to entreprenuership but they also apply to life and especially personal development. I am making realizations about myself and how I need to improve all the time and it's pretty overwhelming right now, but I know that just taking small steps consistently will get me there.

It was 35 degrees outside and a miserable winter day (It was November 1st, but that's about accurate for Rexburg to be so freezing in fall). We split into teams of two and did a fundraiser for a woman named Razia in Pakistan who needed help feeding her buffalo so that it will produce milk to feed her family. Since we had to provide a product as well, we sold pencils. But really, it was a fundraiser because that is what made people support us. Nathan and I raised $46 during our shift and Emma and Halla raised $69. I was nervous about making the required amount because we'd be outside in the cold on a random Thursday and uh... selling pencils for a Pakistanian buffalo. And Rexburg isn't the most philanth...
