So, on Friday (January 28, 2011) I went to Orlando,
with three other kids, to go to our EFY Counselor interviews.
In the vehicle was myself, Courtney, John Frey, and Korey Fras.
It was kinda sorta fun.
Yes, definitely.
The drive down was kinda quiet, and slow.
We just sat, and listened to music. But, then we made it to Orlando:)
They all went into the Temple to do a session,
while I waited around for them all to come out.
Blast it all, I can't wait to be endowed!
(not so I won't be "left out", but because I just want to be!)
While I waited, I filled up my car with gas,
returned my brothers scripture case for a smaller one,
read my scriptures (trying to tune into the Spirit for the upcoming interview!),
and took some pictures:)
Not many, just a couple before we headed out.
After walking around the Temple, and coming out to the front
I saw John and Fras! So, we chilled, and took some pictures
while waiting for Courtney to come out.
Good times. We then proceeded to Chick-Fil-A
for some much needed lunch/dinner.
We got there, I put on my interview clothes,
then ordered my food after everyone has already gotten theirs.
Smart move, Sara. (when the Interview is mere minutes away)
I got my food, then we split!
Courtney drove while I ate, and we ended up being...
15 minutes late!
Ha, blasted traffic.
It was fine, though.
They waited for us, and we were all able to go into
the interview together.
We went in, then after talking for a bit, they split us up.
Count off, "1, 2, 1, 2..."
It ended up being Courtney and John in a group,
and Fras and I in a group.
One group went into another group with a CES guy,
and another group stayed in the room we were currently in with a CES guy.
We stayed.
We just talked about the Youth,
and the responsibilities of EFY counselors, etc.
That part I thought went really well,
I answered questions (which is a rare thing!), and
I think I answered them with the right answers,
or at least what they were looking for.
Then came time to switch rooms.
Oh golly, I knew this part was coming,
but... oh man.
We switched rooms, and then we had to give a short devotional.
How did we do this?
We each chose an item out of a bag,
and were to draw a parallel between the item and the Gospel.
Everyone in my group did wonderfully!
Quick thinkers, good stuff.
Then, it was my turn.
What did I pick?
A USB thumb drive.
...how am I to turn that into something Gospel related?
After crashing and burning (really, it was that bad),
and coming home, my sister Elisabeth thought up a parallel.
"Your mind is the USB drive. And, in Heaven God's going to
put the USB drive into a giant computer for all to see.
So, we need to watch not only our words, and our actions, but our thoughts as well."
Idiot.
Why couldn't I think of that off the top of my head?!
Needless to say, I was perturbed with myself.
So, I think I have a 50/50 chance of getting the position.
If that.
BUT, quick rewind!
After the interview, we were headed home,
talking about each of our interviews,
and how we did, etc. Then something happens,
John and Fras mention Cold Stone (ice cream),
and lo and behold, there was one on the way home!
Ha. I hadn't had Cold Stone in quite a while.
It was goooood:)
I got something deliciously minty.
John had a bite.
Described it as "frozen mint toothpaste",
or something along those lines.
I love everything minty.
I guess some people don't.
Weirdies.
Oh! While at Cold Stone, who did we see other than
the wonderful, adorable Vanessa Gold!
Who knew she worked there?
Not me!
It was fun.
We conversed for a moment,
finished our ice cream,
the proceeded home.
And, our day came to an end there.
It was fun. I had lots of fun:)
Now, 4-6 weeks can't come soon enough!
(aka the amount of time it will take for them to email
us, letting us know if we got the position or not!)

Then on top of that there's all the stress about work!
Agh. I won't even go there.
Okay.
I'll just finish up here then.
Goodnight!

I liked it. Made me think.)
