Campaigning in CO

This weekend I was able to travel to Grand Junction, Colorado to campaign for Obama with the BYU Students for Obama. It was a great weekend! We drove there Friday night and spent all day Saturday knocking on doors, canvassing neighborhoods to get a since of how people were planning on voting. I was able to get a number of people registered to vote who weren't and we got to talk about issues such as the economy and healthcare with those who were interested. I am very excited for the upcoming election. We drove back to Provo Saturday night. Back here in Provo everything is going well. This semester I'm taking Organic Chemistry, Molecular Biology (with a lab) and Physics (also with a lab). My fun classes are D&C and a shadowing internship that I'm doing at a local pediatrician's office - I spend 4 hours a week following the pediatrian around. I love getting to see all the babies come in for the 6 month and 1 year appointments. I just got a calling in my new ward - ward historian. Not super exciting - but I should be able to do it just fine. BYU's football team has had a stellar season so far and Blake and I are really enjoying going to the games! Susan - you have to let us know if any of the kids ever come up for games! That's about it for me here in Provo - I spend most of my time studying. This past week I took my OPI (oral proffiency interview) - it's the last thing I have to do to finish my spanish major. I think it went well, but I have to wait four to six weeks to find out my score. I'm looking forward to General Conference next weekend. We should try to post some of our thoughts and favorite talks here on the blog. I hope everyone is doing well!
Love,
Sara
