INTERNSHIP!
this last week has been an insane roller coaster! you may have sensed my frustration this summer, but basically, this summer has not turned out how i had hoped. last weekend was epic for me in that i realized that something needed to happen in my life. and i had no idea what i needed to do. i had been studying the scriptures with girls from church and we have been reading about a prophet named Nephi who was commanded by the Lord to follow his father, Lehi, and take their family across the ocean. even before that, Nephi was commanded to retrieve an ancient record from the king. because of his faith in the will of the Lord, he was able to accomplish the great tasks and him and his family were blessed. i have felt like Nephi this past week because i have received promptings to act and do something about my non-progressing life.
to sum it up, i am interning in LA with Kindel Gagan starting THURSDAY! ah!
i will going around LA county informing restaurant owners that their employees need to be certified in food handling. i just finished a training call with my supervisor and the other 3 girls (who all from BYU) and it is very similar to missionary work that i did in San Diego. i am soooo excited!
little tender mercy story:
i turned in my resume 2 fridays ago, 1 week after the notice went out in my department. i hadn't heard back from the company by wed so on thurs i signed up to audition for my fair lady at the west valley hale saturday, july 9. it was later on thurs that i received an email thursday that all of the positions were filled by that first week. so i was glad that i went ahead and signed up for an audition time. then on friday, i got a call from the internship offering me a position because a girl dropped out. WOW! the other girls that have been chosen for a while were headed there sunday (yesterday) but she said that i could get there just asap.
i was kinda sad that since i was doing the internship that i couldn't do my fair lady. but I decided to do it just for fun and to get audition experience. i had remembered that they said to check the site to find the audition form. at the end of the form it listed the days i would need to be available for rehearsals and shows.
REHEARSALS START AUG 20!! i'd get back from my internship and bekah's wedding AUG 14! woohoo!
another long story short - i made it into MY FAIR LADY!! i'm soo excited to do a show and so grateful that the Lord has a hold of my life. he is aware of me!
it's so interesting to see my life as it was last week and where i am now. the weekend i was feeling awful, i posted this scripture as my status
"Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask, and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." D&C 88:63
it is so true. i have had many doors opened for me and i am happy. it has been a bit of a struggle temporarily closing my life in provo, but i know that i will be blessed.
and remember when i said that i feel like i have to impress people? i feel that coming to LA helped me overcome that fear. i am not doing an advertising internship, i left my job, and i had to turn over 3 projects that i was leading in the adlab. all things that people have given be some crap about. but i kinda don't care. i know that this opportunity is where i need to be. it's not ideal for the advertising world, but i know that i will gain something from it.
