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.

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...
