♫ Called To Serve HIM ♫

-
For the last few months I have been preparing myself to serve as an LDS missionary! Next week my papers will officially be submitted, which means in a few short weeks I will know where I will be called to serve!! In preparation for this exciting news I will be writing down some of my entries from my scripture/spiritual thoughts notebook. I've been recording all the things that I have learned on this journey leading up to serving a mission, as well as the trials and hard decisions I've had to make. I am so thankful for my Heavenly Father, and I have felt His love in my life everyday as I have studied my scriptures, read the Temple preparation books, studied Preach my Gospel, and prayed sincerely to Him. I have also felt the healing power of the Savior's Atonement. I have a testimony of the Atonement, I know that Jesus Christ suffered so that we never have to be alone. He knows our pain and our weakness, and He loves us no despite our faults! I hope to bring the peace that I have into the lives of the people that I serve. I know that Heavenly Father loves each one of His children, and I cannot wait to share the love and knowledge that comes from the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ.

"Remember that the worth of souls is great in the sight of God; For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him." 
(D&C 18:10-11)

These past few months I have developed a functioning relationship with my Father in Heaven. I have been blessed with so much! He has blessed me with a super supportive and amazing family, an LDS temple near my home where I can worship and find peace, an amazing bishop who has helped me so much in building a strong doctrinal foundation for my testimony, and the fantastic examples my friends are to me! I am so happy for each one of my friends who are on their missions, or are leaving soon. I love Mondays and Tuesdays (some have different P-days), because I get to read about so many people from different parts of the world accepting the message that the missionaries share with them, and receiving the truth of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ into their lives!

What Happens When Daredevils Take On Crafts.......

For the past two weeks I've been eagerly awaiting my chance to learn how to quilt with the women in our Ward!!!! I went with Monkey this morning, and not only did I make a l ap quilt but I also found that I love q uilting !!!!! Because I was thinking so much about quilting I think it was hammered into my sub-conscience mind.........That's the only thing that can explain this dream, or I'm just weird. You choose. The Dream- In my dream I was running in the woods with a pile of fabric in one hand, and a sewing machine in the other. In the middle of a small clearing was a table, so I went up to the table and quickly laid out my stuff and started quilting. I was just a quarter of the way done when something crashed through the bushes behind me, one hand was still sewing while the other was hitting the creature that was trying to attack me. I kicked and hit the stuffing out of the thing, and it left battered and bruised with it's tail between it's legs. I just shook my...

Yes this is all true!

I have said many crazy things in my life. Most of them my mom has already blogged. So I'm going to blog this one. Besides it is my story. When we were at the pool Friday my mom wanted me to pull her around the pool. I did it, then I tried to pick her up in the water. I jokingly told her that I'll have to get married in a pool so my husband could carry me over the threshold. Please remember that I was joking. Well anyway this summer we spent a lot of it at the pool. So we saw the lifeguards frequently. One of them always had his Rubik cube with him, I thought it was interesting. So when I got home I said,"Mom I want an aerobics cube." Yes I thought it was an aerobics cube. I learned quickly that I was wrong. Because my mom started laughing and told me between laughs that its Rubik. Okay so now I get it. That's only a couple of the crazy things to have escaped my mind and come out of my mouth. So I don't feel alone on this matter please share some of the crazy ...

Be afraid, very afraid of the lama-eating casserole

Yesterday we finally finished working on the front yard! And I'm very excited about it. Before we finished Monkey, and I were talking while we weeded the big planter. Monkey was telling me about a girl in her class that can mimic all the characters on Napoleon Dynamite. I was laughing and quoting Tina's moment in the casserole spotlight until mom who was a couple feet away from me asked what I was talking about and I told her," Hello mom, you can't interrupt me while I'm talking about lama-eating casserole." I had meant to say casserole eating-lama, but whatever it didn't come out that way. As you can probably guess I was taken over by my laughing. After my laughter had died down, and I could see and talk clearly again my mom said to me,"If there was a lama-eating casserole you wouldn't be allowed in a petting zoo ." She said that they would tell me,"Sorry ma'am but that casserole is a danger to our lamas so you'll have to lea...
