When I was in school one of my greatest abilities was being able to get good grades without much effort put into it. I made sure I was paying attention in class but I never really studied much.

I Saw a Miracle–Iron can swim!
Let me just say that this past few days have been incredible. Sunday was incredibly wonderful as I was able to serve and worship my Savior, but the few days leading up to then was incredibly tough.
