I am a Mormon

"The Heavens will NOT Be filled with those who never made mistakes." Dieter F. Uchtdorf #quotes #spiritual
I saw Meet The Mormons on Friday with some good friends and I loved it!!
It was inspiring and eye-opening to hear and see stories from people of different cultures, ethnic backgrounds and interests that also believe what I do. Everyone is so different and unique, especially in the church. God's kingdom needs every kind of talent and person. I'm thankful that the missionaries are sharing the gospel with every kind of people so that we can all be unified as children of God, all aware of the truth, and all part of building up the kingdom of God. He needs everyone. He wants everyone to come back to Him. He yearns for us all to feel of his love and respect one another.
The movie had a pilot and hero, a humanitarian and leader, a convert and mother, a boxer and teacher, a bishop and father. They were all amazing examples of accepting others (including their faiths, cultures and differences), of serving their fellow men, and of living their standards fully. I'm so thankful to be a Mormon!
there have been more "rain" then we have wanted for years now. But Heavenly Father will bring us rest. We have kept our commandments he has asked us to. It doesn't and won't ever matter what another imperfect person says about me or my family. He knows me and at the end of the day that's all that matters.



I'm so thankful for modern day revelation. General Conference this past week was amazing. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a modern day prophet. Heavenly Father speaks through him in order to bless our lives, give us specific guidance for these times, and to direct the church in fulfilling God and Christ's purpose; to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. By following the commandments we will receive eternal life with our merciful, loving father and with our families forever. God's greatest desire for us is to love his fellow children, live up to our divine potential and reach godhood. He's given us everything needful in this difficult but important quest. We don't have all the answers now, but he's given us a clearly marked path to something celestially glorious down the road. Even with our mistakes and questions, with prayer we can figure out the way back home. The way back is straight and narrow, he won't lead us astray. We might be in the dark, but he'll illuminate the way before us, shining light on what we need to see at the exact time we need it. Faith in Christ and Heavenly Father will bring us true joy, bring to pass miracles, change hearts, strengthen testimonies, shed light and ease burdens. I'm so thankful for this gospel. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

    I enjoy reading your blog. It is kind of out here on the edge of blogger space. By that I mean that a lot of people look for large numbers of comments and likes, etc. But you don't seem concerned with that. Me neither.

    Anyways. Do you have to go on Mission? I am not a Mormon but I have had Mormons friends. I don't really remember much about the going on Mission rules.

Good News

Senior year is almost three-fourths over. And I know fourth term is just going to fly by! Moonlight, Spring Concert, Prom, AP tests, college enrollments, Graduation! Speaking of college... I got a housing scholarship to UVU!!!! I am so excited and very surprised. I wasn't really expecting it, and when I refreshed my email on my phone, walking back into Dance Company, I jumped for joy!! The scholarship covers 2/3 of the cost for room. I also have a full tuition scholarship. There are 400 students out of the total 30,000 in the Honors program, 150 are Freshman and 36 Freshman get the housing scholarship. So fees, books, about $200 per month for the apartment and food is all I need to pay. Hopefully, the Regents Scholarship will work out and cover most of that stuff! I'm so humbled, grateful, and excited to be starting this new chapter. I think, deep down I've wanted to go to UVU since my first workshop there. Now this kind of gives me the assertion that it's the right...

Why I Am Choosing To Serve A Mission

Although this is very difficult to articulate, dare I even say impossible, I am going to try! I am choosing to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I will serve for eighteen months. I do not choose where I spend those eighteen months, or even in what language I will speak during that time. I will take a break from school, from my dancing and leave my family. It is a sacrifice. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make because I love my Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ lived and died for me so that I can repent, learn to love fully, and become like him. To become better and to learn during my lifetime. I know that he died for every one . I know that he knows each of us, individually, and wants us to be happy. Heavenly Father also loves and knows each of us. He has guided and directed me numerous times, in ways that cannot be explained without fully recognizing His divine hand. The relationships, experiences, trials, and blessings I ...

First day of college

Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...
