I know that my redeemer lives.




lately "hard days" have been my biggest burden.
miss having those good friends who are all on missions now,
i miss being held, and loved, 
and i haven't been sleeping great, 
so that could be the cause of my emotional state.

the other night i took a trip all by myself to the temple late at night,
sat in the dark across the street from the visitors center and prayed.
as i got ready to leave, i decided to take a photo, the best part:
the fact that the flash lit everything up, 
and it looks as if i'm praying, with the temple and jesus in the background. 
it's times like these that challenge my testimony,
but i'm so grateful to be a daughter of God, 
and i'm so thankful for a Savior who suffered for me, 
i'm grateful for the power of prayer and scripture.

my records

For my record: February 1, 2015 i know that this church is true, I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God, who restored the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, and with no doubt in my mind, i know that the words which are spoken inside are the words of God, that through our Prophets, both modern and ancient, we can continue on Gods path. I know that God lives, i know that Jesus Christ lives; that he died for me, for you and for all generations of beings who have and are coming to this earth, he sacrificed for my sins, my pains and my sorrows. he knows me, personally and by name. I know that if i use the atonement, he will take my burdens away, and i will be weightless. I have faith in the gospel, that if i do and follow Gods wills, and commandments, i will return to him one day. I was once scared of dying; but now, it's become an exciting thought. For when i die, i will be with my creator once more, that i will have a remembrance of just how

Ultimate Charity

I gave a talk yesterday during sacrament meeting- I thought i'd share it here. CHARITY I think that for many of us, charity is something that we have to work for. I don’t think that everybody has the natural ability to be charitable. I believe most of us have to choose to put our selfishness aside, to become more charitable. Charity is a choice. Growing up in Saint George Utah, I was one of the rare, nonmembers in my grade. At a young age, I didn’t understand why none of my friends were able to play on Sunday, I didn’t understand how going to church on Sunday was important than riding bikes outside, I didn’t understand that Mondays were for family, I didn’t understand  when one girl told me while at recess one day, that Jesus gave her belly button. I didn’t grow up in an environment that understanding all of that, believing it and finding hope in that was normal. As I grew older, throughout middle school and high school, I had friends that were no longer allowed to be in

Please understand that what you see and experience now is not what forever will be. - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

There have been some thoughts going through my heart and mind recently-- i know that these thoughts are not only my own. What i mean by that is, I know many other individuals that have these thoughts floating around in their heads as well. So i thought that addressing them or writing a few things would help me out, and maybe even somebody else.. i would describe my feelings as such; in this very moment of life, and by moment i mean, week and day. i feel lost. i feel abandoned. i feel confused and hurt. i feel guilty.  i feel ashamed. i feel unimportant. i feel unworthy. i feel like less. maybe these are normal feelings to feel every once in a while. i don't actually know. but the thing that i do know, is that those feelings are very real and relevant to me in this moment. most of us are familiar with the grasp that Satan has on us.. so i'd like to say this ---- lately, i feel as if Satan has taken my hand, and as hard as i would like to let go,
