Hastening the Work of Salvation

-
So I have been home sick the last couple days. I've been using this time to watch all the LDS missionary videos. (Click on the link below, you won't regret it!!)

Hastening the Work of Salvation (Missionaries and Members)

I feel the spirit so strongly as I watch the videos about those who are choosing to accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I literally have been sobbing like a baby all day. Seriously, each video makes me so happy that I burst into tears. (I know, I am ridiculous. Judge me later, man.) I am so thankful for the knowledge that I have of the saving power of the Atonement!

One of my favorite General Conference talks of all time is Jeffery Holland's talk, "None were with Him". If you haven't read it yet, do yourself a favor and read it! I cannot get enough of it. "Brothers and sisters, one of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so." I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the reason I want to serve a mission. I love Him and can't wait to become more like Him. I know that as others come to know Him, that they will love Him as well and follow the path that He has set for us!

    I got tears in my eyes just reading the title of Elder Holland's talk! I well remember how it made me feel when I heard it in Conference. It is very powerful.

Dating Misadventures: Too Much Lime in the Coconut

Ooooh boy. This date story is a doozy. I matched with a guy on Facebook Dating (I know, don't judge) in early March. We chatted a bit about our love for Costco and loathing for dating apps. He lamented the fact that he has been on dating apps for years but has only been on a few dates. I have learned to be pretty assertive in my brief time on the dating scene so I proposed a date. We made plans for the following weekend. I suggested meeting halfway in Brigham City on a Sunday for a walk and drinkity-drink date.  The date was planned for the same weekend I was having conflicting feelings about my situationship with Idaho/birthday twin guy. (more on that later) The morning of the date the guy texted me, "Now that I have your number I can bother you more easily." I was like ???????? why would you say that? Despite the initial ick I forced myself to get ready. It was Sunday, St. Patrick's day, so I was wearing my festive green hoody. As I drove down to Brigham I stopped

Happy New Year!!!!! I cannot even believe that is is the year 2012! There are so many things that are going to happen this year (no, I do NOT mean the end of the world......well maybe for my parents...) That's right people I am FINALLY going to finish Driver's Ed and get my license within the next couple months (fingers crossed for Febuary), and I'm going to start applying to colleges by the end of the year! Eeek! This is also the year I turn 17! I am in shock.....Next year I will be a legal adult. I will officially be able to vote, and do other official adult stuff..... I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas, and that you had a fantstic New Year!! This year I'm going to try to write more on my Blog, because I just realized that I only posted about 9 times last year, and that's kind of sad.... Farewell for now!

There are no good reasons to be 13. I think I'm going to skip to 14!

This is the semi-positive side of turning 13. Yes this is as positive as it's going to get. So on with the list....... 5. I can regularly watch PG13 movies. (It's not like I want to, I haven't watched a good movie in a long time. I sincerely doubt that PG13 movies are better.) 4. It'll be one year before I can start Seminary! (I can hardly wait!) 3. I can join the "special" group of girls that are already 13 . (They all sit in a corner and call it their seats. *gag* Never! You'd have to kill me first to make me sit over there.) 2. I still have 4 months to wait! *exhale* That's a really good thing. 1. And the number one thing is......... Monkey and I will be twelve for a whole stinky month. So when I turn 13 I'll finally be older than her again! *Hallelujah* *I know it's a while till my birthday but Ms. Cat Lady brought it up yesterday. Oh! And she may be 13 but she's not in the little group . I don't actually notice a difference. I
