So there is cool stuff all over campus here that I don't really know about, or I don't take the time to go and see. It's actually quite sad, so I've decided that next semester and all the semesters after that I'm going to take a little lighter class load so that I can experience more of these "little gems."
Today I went to the Education in Zion museum in the Joseph Fielding Smith Building.
My class went yesterday, but I missed to go and eat out with some friends before the BYU vs. USU game (we won, and it was super exciting!!). Anyways, so after class today, I went by myself. There was the nicest little tour guide lady, and she did a perfect job at telling me about the coolest stuff. There's no way she could cover everything, and thank heavens she didn't! I would have been there all night! It is a really lovely section of a building, and it has so many interesting stories and facts about some really amazing people as they were starting BYU. Here are some of my favorite quotes that I jotted down:
"Be yourself, but always be your better self." -Karl G. Maeser
"The Lord has used imperfect people in the process of building his perfect society." -Gordon B. Hinckley
"You have it in your power to set in motion waves of action, love, and kindness that will reach the shores of eternity." -Edwin Smith Hinckley
"Be the man you would be proud to have your son become." -Brigham Thomas Higgs
Hopefully I'll be spending some more time in that museum and all of the other awesome places around campus that I have yet to find!!
Fun Liv! You amaze me all the time! Those quotes are really good too. Cover some of the things I've been thinking about a lot lately. Just what I needed today. Love you. See you in a week!
