There is a sense of sacredness here at Bountiful Court. It's a place, where I truly came to know my Heavenly Father. This place isn't the prettiest place (some would say it looks like a prison), but it was here that I developed a powerful and firm testimony of prayer. I internalized the idea that I had a Heavenly Father, who really did want me to talk to him. I came to know for myself that there really is someone listening on the other end.
It was here at the BC that I met some of my very best friends! I can't tell you how fortunate I have been to be surrounded by wonderful roommates and ward members. Although we may all be different and live very different lives, it is the gospel that has really tied us together and to become unified. I can't tell you how many people have influenced me to love more, to serve more, and to truly become the very best me. I've had wonderful opportunities to serve and get to know people on such a personal level. I can't tell you how much I love serving in the Relief Society! It has been such a blessing in my life. I love each sister for who they are and their beauty radiates through their smiles.
I've been on so many fun adventures from star gazing to playing ulitmate frisbee! I've been thrown in the pool more than I can count on my fingers and toes. I've eaten ice cream by the gallons. I've enjoyed running to the duck pond and feeding the ducks. I've been to the BYU and Provo Library countless times looking for new books to read. (Can I just say that I love that the Provo library is a block away from my apartment?!) I've played capture the flag on campus late at night. I've been on several lunch dates with good friends. I do so many fun things!
I told myself that I would never live at the BC. I remember walking through the doors and thinking how ugly the place looked. But I sure am glad that I moved here. It's a blessing to live in a great apartment and be part of a wonderful ward!
