i am a mormon

I am a sister, dancer, and traveler. And I'm a Mormon.
I was born into an LDS family/home. I went to church every week and learned about the doctrines and teachings of my gospel. I read and studied and pondered. I prayed and received answers. I obeyed and was blessed. My conversion was a process and still is. You can always be more converted to the church, and to God's will. Over the years I had a steady flow of an increase in my testimony.... Living in a town with lots of members or just great examples. My parents' example of absolute selflessness. Attending church every Sunday. The Young Womens program and girls camp and youth retreats. Having callings, or responsibilities/leadership positions. The opportunities for personal growth and ability to help and serve others were plentiful. Almost expected. It made me a better person. It made me happier! I know without the light of Christ in my life, I would be lost. Everyone has the light. They're born with it. And I'm just thankful part of God's plan for me was to grow up in an environment that reflected, grew and shared that light. I want everyone to be able to do this. Something this powerful and uplifting must be shared. The message is being spread throughout the whole world by missionaries. Missionaries who live righteously. Who serve selflessly. Who are official, full-time missionaries. Or who are missionaries by example. Who have felt God's love and want to enable others to experience it as well. His love is constant and endless.

HOLIDAYS

I was so happy the Mijatovic family came to visit! Even though we're not related my blood, we're family! My lovely grandparents The newlyweds invited us and their friends to see the lights at Temple Square, then enjoy some pie and hot cocoa at their adorable apartment, conveniently located right by the temple. Such fun! Thanksgiving with the Siskins ....And everybody else ;)
The world is big. It can be scary. It can be a lot of things, a lot of adjectives because well, it's the WORLD. But there is so much  good  in it. Make it your mission to notice the good in every day life. One thing that you can count on is the sun. It rises, it's warm, it gives light. Things we need. Things that are good, life sustaining, bright. Happiness is not a side affect of a perfect life. Waiting to be happy is just plain silly. Happiness wants to come into your life, in fact, it already has, so acknowledge and befriend it. Make it deeper and better with gratitude, consistence and effort. The good in the world is apparent and abundant, just like happiness. Focusing on the good doesn't mean we ignore the sad stuff going on, refuse to ever watch the news, or be ignorant of pressing matters around the world. It just means that you cling to hope, never give up, fight discouragement and let the good into your life. Let the good in, put some good out, let light radiate fr...
