BE thankful!

I have so much to be thankful for in my life. If we would all take the time to list things that we are thankful for, we then will come to realize how much the lord has really blessed us.

BE thankful!

Halloween Fun!

Tonight I went to a Halloween Party with Jocelyn! We had a lot of fun together! I love just being with this girl, and I love how we can talk for hours on end about anything! I also love that she knows what I am thinking even before I say it... ha we have this ability to read each others mind. She is better at it than me. She always knows what I am going to say before I saw it! Oh I love Halloween time :) 

Carving them Pumpkins :)

             The beautiful Colleen Came over and we carved them pumpkins! It was so much fun! We laughed our heads off carving these pumpkins and were able to catch up! I love this girl so much. She seriously brightens up the room when she walks in. She is a great example to me, and always such a happy girl! You da best Colleen :) P.s. I wish I could just tape record her whole life….she says the funniest things! love you girl

I really enjoy just sitting down and talking to this girl! We can seriously talk for hours... which we did! I love my Erika/Kaitlin time! Always needed :) 

Dreams

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” <3

Today was....Interesting :)

Welp....Today started out to what I would call a normal day. Studying, quiz taking, class going....and ended up in Urgent Care.. Hm well not a normal middle to the day but it was fun! I got to watch Tv on a bed, get x-rays and blood drawn. I even got to ride in a wheel chair :) That was fun! Just another day, lets see what tomorrow brings... hopefully not a hospital visit.

p.s. did I mention they spelled my name wrong? I guess the insurance has it wrong. Tonight I was known as Katlin! hm... I kinda like the sound of that :)

         So…. I was not planning on going Country Dancing especially since I had just been in the Hospital…. however I thought to myself I have nothing else to do…so why not!? So Jocelyn came over and we went together. It was very interesting considering I had Crutches and couldn’t put ANY pressure whatsoever on my foot. So I stood against the wall when this guy came up to me and asked me if I wanted to dance. After looking down at my foot then back at me, he said to me,” I promise you that Ill dance with you so that your foot will not touch the ground.” I said alright lets do it! So we danced and my foot didnt touch the ground once! It was awesome and so thoughtful! So then after that Jocelyn and I went on over to the other side of the dance floor to join some of our friends. Then the same guy asked me to dance and then him and Preston Noble took turns passing me back and forth trying to come up with new dance moves not involving my foot. Who would have known that I could have that much fun with a hurt foot. Thanks to those guys they made my night one I will always remember :) 

Do you ever wonder…..

Do you ever wonder….where life is going to take you? What direction you’re going to follow or take? Sometimes I wish I knew the future..sometimes I wish I didn't. Life can be rather confusing sometimes. But whatever you do, you need to take life by the horns and go with it! We don't always know the answers to some of life’s hardest questions. Thankfully we have the gospel in our lives to point us in some direction. Sometimes all the doors close so that along the road the right door will come along and open. I don’t know all the answers to everything the only one who does is the man upstairs. I am so thankful for the powerful words of our dear prophets and the words of the scriptures that can lead us in some direction in our lives. I have learned that the scriptures have answers to ALL question that we have. We just have to diligently be searching our scriptures for these answers.
Dear Life ahead,
I see a lot in my future.
I just don't know where to start.
If you could please give me some advice….and give it fast!
Sincerely yours,
Kait
p.s. here are some quotes I recently fell in love with.

“Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.”

“If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad.”


“I cant change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to reach my destination.”
I am just thankful for the gospel in my life. I may not know all the answers to life, but I do know that I have a loving Heavenly Father who wants nothing but the best for his children.

You know what sounds good right now....

Tonight was FHE with the singles ward, which was a Halloween Carnival which was really fun! Everyone was dressed up in costumes. There was a cake walk, Fishing, Pumpkin Carving, Photo booth,and eating doughnuts from a string! 

Kenny and I were working the Fishing station, we would put candy on the string! or sometimes just throw the candy over the tarp!

Love Halloween! 

The lovely Jocelyn and Sicily!

Just some fun fancy friends :) Way to go Temple View Ward you rock!

Family Home Evening!

Tonight for Family home evening we had our regular scripture study out of the Book of Mormon and then we had a little activity. We each received a blank piece of paper and were told to write our names on it. Then we folded the paper back so that we could only see our names. Then we passed them around the table and each family member was to write something nice about that person whose paper we had.

 Courtney reading hers

 After we were all done we went around the table reading our own :)

It was nice to see everyone so excited to be writing something nice about the family members. If everyone took time to find the good and positive in people I think we would be a happier people. My challenge to you all is to look for the good in people, I promise you, that you will be a whole lot happier in life! Ready set go!

Missionary work....Start Now!

Commit Early to Become a Missionary

Posted: 25 Oct 2010 12:00 AM PDT

"Young people need to commit themselves early in life to the idea of a mission. That way, when they get older and begin to face some of the world's temptations, those temptations will be less likely to penetrate their hearts or minds. They will resist the temptations because they are focused on becoming a servant of the Lord."M. Russell Ballard, "How to Prepare to Be a Good Missionary," New Era, Mar. 2007, 6

Homecomings and such!

Its weird when all your missionary friends start coming home. It seriously feels like they just had left. Its amazing how fast 2 years can go by in life. I think that this year especially has gone by pretty fast, I cant believe that its already almost CHRISTMAS again! I am soo excited!!

Blaze Malan and Ryan Kearl came home! Ryan served in Mexico and Blaze in Hawaii! I was able to talk to Blaze allll about Hawaii, it made me miss it a LOT! and then talked with Ryan in Spanish.

I am so thankful for wonderful missionarys! Welcome home boys!

Getting to know our Savior is time well spent :)

"Mere 'Busyness' is not necessarily evidence of the wise use of time. There should be time for mental and spiritual development as well as relaxation: time for worship and time to express our thankfulness for our ability to work, and think,and pray, and read, and help, and dream,and laugh,and plan, and learn. The time we spend learning of our Father in heaven will bring untold blessings to us all the days of our lives."~ John Longden


If we would just take that 15 minutes out of our day to read the powerful words of the scriptures we will be blessed. We can learn more about the savior by reading of his words. We can strive to become more like him by the way that we act and treat others. When we do service unto others ( Mosiah 2:17) it is like in turn serving our savior and also becoming more like him. I am so thankful and have such a strong testimony of the organization of the church. I am so thankful for visiting teaching and visiting teachers. Visiting teaching is where we have the opportunity to visit sisters of our ward and share with them a little message about the gospel and our church. I love this gospel and all that it brings to me, such joy and happiness! I am thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the fact that I can become more and more like my Savior Jesus Christ every day! ~ Love ~
