Dec. 3

Dec. 3: There is a giveaway website centered here in Provo called BYU Hitlist. It's a place where you hit a button a ton of times and if you hit it at the right number, you win a big prize. Other people are also hitting the button, and so the more people hitting, the less your chances are of winning the prize. Nathaniel loves these kinds of things. He loves chances of winning things.
Even though I knew he would love it, I decided to keep it to myself so my chances of winning were higher. But then I realized this wasn't kind or fair to Nathaniel. And I knew that if he found out about it later and knew that I knew about it, he would question why I didn't tell him. I decided to tell him about it. I felt like I was being honest with him, and not keeping a secret. He was really excited about the website, and it was really fun to see his joy. I know that when you are full of integrity you are much happier than you would be without it.

Dec. 2: This morning it was nearly impossible for me to wake up. I seriously had the very hardest time getting out of my bed. I have church at nine and I knew that I could not get up early enough to get ready and go to my ward today. So as my roommates all left for church, I was still in my bed. As I slowly awoke, I felt the guilt for missing church. This isn't something that I ever do.
Then I got the idea that I could and should still go to church! There were other wards at later times! I texted my brother and told him that I was going to go to church with him at 10:30. It was still hard for me to get out of bed and it would have been easier to stay there, but I knew that it was really important for me to go to Sacrament Meeting and partake of the Sacrament. I felt that I was showing integrity to my Savior and I knew I was doing the right thing.

Dec. 1: Tonight Nathaniel and I went Divine Comedy. The line gets really long before the show outside the door, so we decided to go an hour early. There are so many people in the line that it is easy to just jump from one spot to another and pretend that you are closer than you really were. Nathaniel and I were far back in the line, but instead of cutting we stayed where we were. This was having integrity and showing respect for everyone else in line.
When we got inside, even though we were not close to the front of the line, we ended up sitting in the second row. This showed me that blessings come to those who act with integrity and are trying to be honorable and build their character.
