"My own testimony grew as I learned about Heavenly Father and the Savior from the teachings and testimony of my parents, teachers, the scriptures—which I read diligently—and especially the Holy Ghost. As I exercised faith and obeyed the commandments, the Holy Ghost testified that what I was learning was true. This is how I came to know for myself."
—Robert D. Hales, "Eternal Life—to Know Our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ"

   I testify to you that if you really work and strive to develop your own testimony it will develop and you will know for yourself the truth

"Think of the effect temples have on their surroundings. They beautify inner cities; they shine from prominent hills. Why do they beautify and shine? Because, as the scriptures say, “Truth shineth,” and temples contain truth and eternal purpose; so do you."

      You are a light! Lead the way for those around you!!

GoOd ThInGs tO cOmE...!

Hey guys!! Haven't written in way too long and I apologize for that. Today I just got the feeling that a simple blog or testimony about positivity to come was needed by someone. I want everyone out there to realize that any trial will go away.
                                We all find ourselves in a moment that we wish could be over with or done, we find ourselves searching for a light at the end of the tunnel. I talked to my Dad recently, who has gone through some hard times in his life. I asked him if he would re-do or re-live any part of his life. He told me, his experiences were far too important to the man he is today to ever take back or re-live. He said everything in his life has happened for a reason. Good, or bad.
                        I want you to know that when you do find the light at the end of the tunnel, you may look back at that tunnel and realize how strong of a person it helped you become. Your experiences may not seem important now even if your looking back at them you may not feel the goodness with it, but later, someday you will. I testify to you with my heart that God see's the whole picture. He see's the life you have ahead. You can always be better.
                  The other day my friend was frustrated at gymnastics. She said no matter what was happening, she couldn't do it right. I told her ," You can't change the outcome or result, unless you change the way you do it." I want to share that with you either about your trails, your life, or even your sport, YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE OUTCOME OR RESULT, UNLESS YOU CHANGE THE WAY YOU DO IT.
               If you are in a tuff time right now and are in a tunnel so to speak, I want you to know if you keep going, trying, fighting to stay one the right path and to not turn back and give up, if you endure the pain or suffering, YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER OUTCOME. YOU WILL BE STRONGER.
                                             AND IT WILL, GET BETTER.
There is a song about the pioneers, the lyrics go, "Put your shoulder to the wheel push along, do your duty with heart full of song, we all have work let no one shirk, put your shoulder to the wheel."
                           I challenge everyone to look at the positive side of things and remember that Jesus Christ has felt what your going through, and if you pray, if you follow the commandments of God you will know FOR YOURSELF that everything is going to work out. YOU WILL BE OKAY :)

                  I leave these thing with you from the bottom of my heart, in the name of Jesus Christ,
                                                                                   AMEN.

       Hello!! LONG TIME no see!! I'm sorry I haven't rote in a while, I just would like to talk to you guys about what's funny and what's not. That may seen weird. You may be thinking well, my friend laughed at a joke once and I didn't think it was very funny, it depends on the person to see if its funny or not. Well yeah, but we all heard of what I like to call, hurt laughter. When someone jokes around and says something like "Your to stupid?" And then they both start to laugh but one the inside the other person really doesn't feel so good. They may not show it but I think everyone has enough common sense to know, that they may not act hurt or look it, they may even joke back but they still cant get that thought of, how you think they are, out of there head.
          So, to be honest, you know we have ALL done this. You know you have. We may not realize it at the time but we can hurt someone on the inside pretty badly. I don't know if you have been joked to like this before and if you have you may think, wow she thinks we are soo sensitive. But I've seen this around me. And after the 'joker' walk away or talks to someone else, you can see the hurt in there eyes. And I wont say who but some people do this ALL the time in my early morning seminary class AT CHURCH. Yep. Sadly Mormon or not we all need to watch our judging. I hope and pray that the people will read this and take to heart what I'm saying. I don't want to ruin your fun, but offensive isn't fun. I don't care how many times the people that hurt laugh say they are not offended. Fine, okay but I AM offended when this happens around me. Not personally but when people especially priesthood holders do this it makes me feel a feeling of depression. I don't want others to have that impression of members of the church because there is lot's of members out there that don't judge in hurt laughing ways. SO PLEASE STOP IT!!! Mormons, WE NEED TO BE THE EXAMPLES!! NOT THE JUDGES OR BULLIES and to me this IS a form of bullying ones feelings.

           AMEN! please remember this as you go through your daily lives and lets be the best we can:)

ArE yOu WiLLinG tO bE a WiSe mAn (or WoMeN)??

 Hello guys Happy Sunday!!! So I know it's not Christmas time but the wise men really stand out to me right now. So you know the Christmas story is right? The true meaning of Christmas is Jesus birthday. Mary and Joseph had traveled a long time with Mary on the donkey. They got kicked out or rejected by inn owners at everyone they tried until one man said they could stay in his stable. Then the shepherd saw the angle and the angle told him to go and seek for baby Jesus had been born so the shepherd did. The wise men saw the star and followed it. Did you know that it took the wise men around 3 years to actually get to baby Jesus? I want to compare us to the wise men.

 

               So here we are on earth and maybe something in our life happened and we have a chance to go to church or seek the light of Christ. Say we choose the right path. We follow in faith, the wise men didn't see God on there journey, the just knew that the light was special. So we followed the light though our entire lives and we finally made it. To Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father.  That's just what the wise men did. They followed, sacrificing 3 years of there live to offer up there gifts to Jesus. So are you willing to choose the right path? Sacrifice immodest clothes, bad movies or thoughts, anything pornography, would you give those up and offer yourself give God all you have to live with him again? If you are not nodding or pondering a "yes" let me tell you this. So say we didn't follow the right path. Say that you didn't give up bed things and didn't give your thoughts to God. (Meaning think about him with every choice or decision). Well you will simply not end up with God and Jesus Christ. I'm not saying that if your not exactly like me or Jesus you won't go to the Celestial kingdom, because I'm not perfect, but if you do seek the truth and follow/keep the commandments, you will definitely be on the right track, now maybe you slip up a couple times on your journey where you say a bad word or go immodest to a party, that's the beauty of the atonement. Repentance. But you can't just do it over and over again and repent because that wouldn't get you anywhere, repentance is when you ask for forgiveness and then TRY your very BEST to not EVER do it again.
           I testify to you that through God we can be made perfect if we follow his ways. Search for the Gospel my friends, Walk in faith, give yourself to him, and go back home again. I promise if you do this you will find great joy and happiness. God loves you all and hopes that you will return to him.

I chose this video so that you can really think, are you willing to put God first? I pray for you that you will know the true answer. Today is Sunday, would you go to church today? I hope and pray that you will decide to come to God. He is worth it my friends. CTR!!

FaMiLiEs ArE fOrEvEr!!

 Hey! It's Friday already? Sorry I haven't written in a while. Time has shortened! I just wanted to tell you guys about the importance of your family. You may roll your eyes because your siblings are soo annoying or your parents just don't get it, or maybe your a busy parent and you just feel like there isn't enough time, and it's not worth the fight to get your family to spend some time together. I want you to understand that, no matter what is happening in your family right now, even if your family is split, you need to spend as much time with them as you can.
                      It really hit me how much my parents influence my life. I have always been stuck to my moms hip. I don't hardly ever leave her alone. But when we are away from each other I really realize how much she impacts me as a person. I see my mom clean, do dishes, do laundry, and no matter what is on her mind or stress she is feeling, she always has time to give me a hug or show that she loves me. My Dad is a very hard worker. He is doing nothing but service all day everyday. Not only does he provide for our family but he fixes furnaces and heaters, for other people so they can be comfortable and happy. And my dad and I may not show it but we have a special bond especially when we dance together, My dad has danced with me since I could walk. Every dance competition we have went to we have won, but its not the winning that makes it special it's the love that he shows me. My 4 sisters are so caring to me and I love them so much. Three of my sisters live pretty far away and I don't get to see them very often. But when I do there is joy. My brothers are goofy guys that couldn't be merrier. They find so much joy in the littlest of things. And they always got your back and can make you laugh. Then there is my nieces and nephew. The cutest little bundles of joy you'd ever meet. I love them so much. My aunts uncles and cousins are pretty far away but we are all conjoined in our hearts.
               How'd you get here? Why are you in this family? Why is that your last name? We believe love is between man and women. Some may strongly disagree or believe that love comes different for everyone, but let me explain. When a mother and a father look into there own flesh and blood, there baby's eyes, they see an amazing creation from God. All kids are. You can't have kids without a man and a woman. And you may say, I can adopt kids. And you can but how would you feel if you went to school and it was mothers day. Or fathers day and both your parents were the same gender. How fair is it to the kid to not get a mom and a dad? You have a mom and dad right? Every kid deserves to be loved by a mother and a father. Say that two men adopted a little boy. As the boy grew up he wonders what it's like to be loved by a girl or woman so he is going to seek out love elsewhere before the bonds of marriage because he doesn't know. There was a study that proved a girl with no father or male figure will try to seek out love from a male and be troubled and confused. I personally think It's so important for a child to have love and support from a mother and a father. So no I don't support gay marriage. That doesn't mean that I don't support love. Love comes from a family.
      

 This video doesn't describes love more than any text. There might be a time in your life when you lose someone you love, you can see them again you know. Families are forever. :)
