I am a Mormon.

This morning I had the amazing opportunity to walk to the Logan temple to do baptisms. As I was walking there with three girls I have come to love like I have known them my whole life and two of the sweetest guys, I couldn't help but think how much my Heavenly Father loves me. I have been trying to be better lately. A better example, a better friend, and a better student. I have been striving to find answers to questions I have had for awhile and I know my Heavenly Father is listening. While I was sitting in the chapel of the temple waiting to do baptisms, I was reading in the doctrine and covenants. I love the doctrine and covenants, it says a lot about missionary work. I have always wanted to serve a mission and I know it is a righteous desire but sometimes I feel it is not in the cards for me, but then little things like the cute old man who gave my confirmation blessing shakes my hand and says "there is another missionary hand shake" I still don't know if I am suppose to go but that is not going to stop me from preparing. Here in Logan I have seen the hand of The Lord in my life in more ways than one and I have also experienced some trials, which is to be expected, but The Lord never gives you anything you cannot handle. Here I have met my soul friend, who has literally been sent from above. She is how I know my Heavenly Father is aware of me in this life, she is the reason I can laugh almost anything off and the reason I am still sane. This week has not been one of my favorites but like my last post "not everyday is a good day, but there is something good in everyday." Yes, this week has been rough but it has brought me closer to my Heavenly Father and has made me realize his hand in my everyday life.

I am a student at USU. I love to play soccer. I am a sister. I am a laughing machine. I am an organized hoarder. I am a people person. I love the beach. I could spend everyday at Disneyland and I am a Mormon. 

I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church on this Earth today and without it in my life I would be completely lost. I am thankful for temples and that there is one just a short walk away in Logan. I have a strong testimony of prayer and I use it daily in my life. I know that I am a daughter of a loving Heavenly Father who sent his son to atone for my sins. I am beyond grateful to know that my crazy little family can be together forever. I am thankful for the priesthood and for the example of the young men who hold it. I am grateful to know that there is a living prophet on this Earth today, Thomas S. Monson. I am especially grateful for patriarchal blessings and the guidance mine brings to my life. I know that my redeemer lives and that I can return to live with him someday. And that makes me happy.
