Of things that Matter Most!





"Brothers and sisters, let us be wise. Let us turn to the pure doctrinal waters of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Let us joyfully partake of them in their simplicity and plainness. The heavens are open again. The gospel of Jesus Christ is on earth once more, and its simple truths are a plentiful source of joy!" President Uchtdorf


I love love love this talk. My visiting teachers brought this message to me today, and this is EXACTLY what I needed to hear. I am so thankful for visiting teachers who fulfill their calling. I am so thankful for the leaders of the church who are inspired to teach us the things that the lord is wanting us to know at this time in our lives. Please read the talk Here

Temple Christmas Lights!

For multiple reasons! one of those reasons is because of the beautiful Temple Lights! It is just an amazing sight to see! I always always end up bumping into someone I know :) I love being on the temple grounds. The spirit is so strong and everyone is just so friendly. I love talking to the missionarys. Every single one of them knew my grandparents. Brother and Sister Peck, they are currently serving as missionarys in the Temple Visitors center. They all said that they were their favorite :) I love the temple, I love Christmast time!

  Tonight we had the Light Alumni Show! This was seriously a BLAST! It was so good to see everyone again. We performed old numbers from previous years. It was neat to see how people have grown and changed. Gone on missions, gotten married or just moved forward with their lives. I know that we all will be friends throughout the eternity's!
