Favorite Quote of the Week!

"I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. the decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.



My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living and dwarfed goals.



I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotion, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.



My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.



I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me… my banner will be clear!"

Mariah Martinsen

Right when I got to Provo I was able to be dropped off at Mariah's appartment. Mariah and I then went to the Cougar eat and got some Subway :) Then went back to her place and just chatted for hours. It was really good to be able to see her and spend some quality time with her. She really is an amazing girl and I loved being able to talk with her. We laughed, and joked. I am glad that I was able to see her :)

True Happiness!!

Can I just tell you how happy the gospel of Jesus Christ makes me?! So we were walking to the stake center to play games and I began talking to my C0-counselor Alex Hale and I said, " Alex do you ever get really happy and don't know why?" he replied, " well maybe...but I usually know why". He then proceeded to ask me all these questions well does this make you happy? is it this? or this? and I said you know what Alex the only thing I can really think of is the GOSPEL!! And you know what?! that is SO true! I find myself smiling quite often because of this wonderful church that I belong to. I love this gospel and my savior more than anything! That brings me TRUE joy! I can walk around smiling, knowing that I am a child of god. I know that he loves me. I know that he answers prayers. I know that he is there for me whenever I need him. This church brings me so much joy, and makes me want to share it with others. I am so thankful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! This is what True happiness is ALL about :) ~ Happy Note for the day! 

I pulled a Funny :)

So...... I pulled a "Funny" haha so today I was one of the Dancers for EFY orientation.. And all was going well until the finale! I along with a couple of Counselors did a Toe Touch at the end! I was right next to Patrick Law and as I did my Toe Touch I heard a RIPPPP!! haha I then realized that I had ripped my pants!! ahah Realizing this I quickly sat down! Thinking that it was just a tiny hole I went on with the rest of orientation. Then I walked back to my dorm thinking I could just throw on some spandex.... NOPE! haha to my dismay it was a HUGE Hole!! I then proceeded to put on a pair of Jeans because that was the only pair of Kaky pants I had! So pretty much I stuck out like a sore thumb...being the only counselor in Jeans! ha but it made a "funny" story! I guess its about time to retire these pants I mean its not like they are like 5 years old or anything :) 

Spanish Ward!!

This Sunday I was able to go with Diego Stabio ( a really good friend of mine who just got back from his mission from Philadelphia Spanish speaking)  to a Spanish Ward! I was SUPER excited!! I have always wanted to go to a Spanish ward but never made it out there in Az. I have to admit I was a little bit nervous that I wouldn't be able to understand at all. I said a prayer in the car for comfort and that I would be able to understand the talks. To my surprise I was able  to understand a whole lot more than I thought :) I love the Spanish culture everyone is so loving, caring and just plain happy! This made me want to serve a spanish speaking mission even more! I would say that this was a success!! I loved every minute of it!

LAKE!!

I got picked up from Salt Lake by a good friend Diego and we headed straight to the Lake :) I was SO happy! I was able to get up every time! I had a blast with these new friends!
