My Testimony

I am a daughter of God. My Father in Heaven has loved me since the creation of the world and is present in my life in a very personal, merciful, patient way. My Heavenly Father knows and loves me. He has sent me to the Earth to grow and become like Him. Because of His Son, Jesus Christ, I can become like Him. Jesus Christ is my Savior, Redeemer, Friend, Brother, Comforter, and Hope. I have complete faith in Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice, which makes change, joy, and eternal life possible. I know that God's commandments are not a list of random restrictions, but a continuation of the way we lived in heaven, and the only way to find true happiness and live up to our divine potential. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, called by Him to restore the doctrine that Christ himself taught during his mortal ministry. Just like Moses, Abraham, and Elijah are prophets in the Bible, Joseph Smith was another servant of God who restored truths that complete the gospel of Jesus Christ and allow us a fuller appreciation for and understanding of Jesus Christ, Heavenly Father, and our own divine potential. I know that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. That it is an ancient text, written by prophets of God, and that its purpose is to bring people to Christ. Its messages are clear, filled with love, and complimentary to the Bible. I know that families can be together forever and that temples are a place of worship and learning. Temples are where we can make sacred promises to our Heavenly Father for the purpose of developing Christ-like attributes, and learning about the character of God and His will for us. 

My testimony is rooted in the knowledge of my Savior and Heavenly Father's love. I see tender mercies from them every day. They know my name and care about me. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true.

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...

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...

Camp!

Girls Camp this year was amazing. We got home today and I'm sad it's over! But next week I have a Dance Company photo-shoot and some workshops that I'm simply so excited about! They always do an amazingly fun job:) Anyway, this year I was a YCL and in charge of Devotionals. I felt bad that I couldn't fully participate in planning since I was in Europe, but it was super fun and it all worked out. Our leader or woman in charge was Julie Karren. She is one of the most amazing people I know. She has breast cancer but did not let that get in the way of planning and attending Girls Camp as if she were Super Woman. Which she is. She gave an amazing devotional that brought the spirit so strongly. She has taken this trial and turned it into a blessing, a challenge, and something that won't stop her. I admire and love her so much! Sister Richards also helped plan the Camp. She made adorable temple-shaped sugar cookies that we ate on the way up to Payson when we stopped to s...
