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.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...

Good bye Nutcracker

Nutcracker is over and I'm sad! It was so much fun and I made great memories. I fell on the last night during the Maid dance which was a bummer. My tray flew off my hand when I fell even with the strap on the bottom. I just pretended it was on purpose and made some hand gestures like I gasped and then walked off. Luckily it was at the end of the dance. I still had Waltz and finale and I wasn't going to let one fall make me sad or not do my best the rest of the time. Strangely afterwords I felt really calm and didn't really care until after party scene. It was kind of funny and I didn't hurt myself. The weird thing was that right before the performance I felt like I was going to trip or fall....and I did. Hahaha, well I'm just the really clumsy maid now :)  Maddie is a pro photo bomber. I just wish she'd bombed one of the bad pictures instead!  My favors for the Waltz gals  Emma being me...haha she'd be a great Maid! :) Love her  Cutie...

Apartment 51

My roommates are the best roommates of all time. We had a dance party the other day where Emmy introduced me to the 'nae nae song'. Can you believe I'd never heard it? I know. Emmy has quite the moves too. Gentry was doing laundry, which is an event because she actually does it the right way. Cold, warm washes; darks, whites, color, reds. The works. It took a few hours, so Emmy and I stayed up with her jamming out and chatting. We got a little depressed at how ugly our living room was because we'd had FHE at a guys' apartment earlier and their apartment was amazing. Framed vinyl records, leather sofa, big-screen TV, Ikea spice holders, quotes. We were put to shame. So we decided to put up a bunch of pictures on our wall. It now holds Gentry's towing ticket, pictures, The Living Christ, Proclamation to the Family, my Broadway tickets, a map of San Francisco and more. It definitely cheers up the room. We are going to hang a banner thing up too so we can hang temp...
