Visiting Colleges

On Tuesday the 22nd we went to BYU. On Thursday we went to UVU and Friday U of U.

At BYU I shadowed a student named Marla-Mrs. Wilson’s sister-in-law. The class I
shawdowed was SFL 100-Strengthening Marriage and Family taught by David C. Dollahite. He
taught about when is it right to break up an exclusive relationship that is not working out. He
also taught about Processes for an enduring, healthy marriage and how the closer a husband and
wife get to God, the closer they get to each other. He discussed the ratio of positive to negative
interaction in a marriage and that a 5:1 ratio best predicts a stable marriage. As compliments are
given in a marriage they should be sincere, true, positive, and specific. On the other hand, when
complaint is given in a marriage it should be specific, true, negative, and actionable. The family
is the basic unit of society and it is so important that a marriage is built on the foundation of
Jesus Christ.

Who am I? I am a daughter of God with great potential. What was I born to do? I was born to fulfill my full potential; To marry in the temple, raise a righteous family, and become who Heavenly Father wants me to be. What [can stop] me? My personal weaknesses.
Even though we have personal weaknesses we don't need to let them stop our progress. Through the atonement of Jesus Christ we can overcome our weaknesses and the things we were struggling with can become strengths (Ether 12:27). Our weaknesses can help us to come closer to our Savior and to rely on Him more.
