Hello again I am sorry.

Hello again. Sorry it's been 3 months. I really want to try harder. School has been really tough this year. I don't have as much free time as I do in the summer. Anyway I want to share something anyway. So in Seminary today I learned about the Olive Trees and Jacob Chapter 5. I learned that I can be a missionary now and in 2 years when it's my turn to serve a mission. I know we can all be missionaries just at home. Be an example!!!! Anyway I have to go for Family Prayer. Check in soon. Bye!!!!!

Guess Who's Back?

Hi everyone!!!! What's up? Guess who's back? This guy. Holy cow can you believe it? It's been one day and I am back. That must be a new record. Wahoo!! Anyway so I just want everyone to know to just be happy tomorrow. Tuesday is going to be a great day!!!! I am going school shopping. Wahoo!! New clothes!!!! I am so excited. And then I get to do Summer Homework and clean my room. Wahoo!! NOT!!!! I am excited for the school shopping part, but not for the homework and cleaning. It's not fun, but I need to do it and use my day up wisely. I shouldn't just sit around all day and be bored. At least summer homework gives me something to do. Plus school starts on Thursday so I have to get it done NOW!!!! Ya so everyone just be HAPPY!!!! Tomorrow can be a great day if you make it one. Man I can't wait to read my scriptures tonight. I just got to Helaman a few nights ago and it's been great. Awesome stories. Ya so I just wanted to say to everyone out there to be happy tomorrow. Do something silly like eat some chicken and laugh. Crack a clean joke or two. Just something that brightens up your day. Let's all be positive. Anyway so I don't really know what else to type.................awkward silence...................this is not awkward at all.............Oh ya I got something. I just want to say how grateful I am for my family. I love them all so much. My last sister just got married last week and crazy things have happened. What I mean by crazy is watching my other sister's kids and being exhausted from all the running around at the wedding. The wedding was awesome though. I love the Salt Lake City Temple. It is gorgeous. Anyway family is super important to me and I love my family so much. I am so grateful for all that they do. My last sister left today to go home for a long time. I really miss all three of my sister's because they are all gone. Anyway I will see them all soon. Ya so be grateful for your family and whenever you spend time with your family make the memories last. Ya so I am tired, but I really wanted to write and I did so chicken is delicious. Bye!!!!

Hello Again?

Hi everyone!!!! Sorry it's been like a month since I've posted. I have been really busy, but I am committed to keep going on this blog. The whole point of the blog is for me to share my wonderful experiences that I have in my life everyday. I can't stop now. There are so many awesome experiences that I have had and that I will have. I HAVE to share them. Anyway so it's been a busy month and a half. That's why I haven't posted in a long time. But school is starting soon and I am getting all organized and everything so the blog will be a big priority, at least on Sunday's. Okay so today I had an amazing time at church. I truly felt the spirit speaking to me in Priesthood. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is so amazing and I am so happy to be apart of it. Anyway so this awesome kid in my quorum was sharing a very special experience. It was so great and the spirit was like a fire burning inside me. It was a fantastic experience. So in my extended family there is some trouble. I don't want to get into what it is exactly because it's a personal family problem.I just have been thinking about it for a long time and it is a sad situation. I just want everyone who is reading this blog everyday to know how hard life can be. I know from experience life can be so hard. I mean school and family and friends and pressure from adults to be "perfect." It's such a tough life even if you aren't a teenager like me. Like in my family the person who is dealing with the family situation is way older than me. He is a great person and has been so strong through the whole thing. Let's all just admit it. Life is tough. But if we stay strong (like my family member) we can do anything and still be happy no matter what happens. The gospel keeps me happy everyday. My cousin is crazy and she is a big issue in this family situation. If I could say anything to her I would say "Are you happier now than you were before?" I'm pretty sure she would say she is, but on the inside she would think differently because the Gospel of Jesus Christ makes us all happier. I know it does. I am so happy right now because I could feel God's love for me so strongly today in Priesthood. I really needed that to happen. I'm really stressed with Summer homework and school is starting really soon. I am freaking out. But I know it will all get done and I will feel better after school starts. Heavenly Father will help me. I know it. Everyone just keep moving forward (Like Walt Disney said in "Meet the Robinson's") and just have hope. Things will be okay if you stay strong in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know it. Until next post see you all later!!!!

A New Day!!!!

Hola everybody!!!! Okay so it's been a while since I have written. I'm very sorry. I have been distracted. I just got home from a high adventure camp last night. It was actually a pretty good experience. We went to Havasupai Falls. It was a 11 hour drive and 10 mile hike to the campground. It was an exhausting journey. I left on Wednesday of last week and we got to Arizona and I started feeling really sick. Lately I've been suffering with really bad anxiety whenever I leave home. I went to the Temple to do baptisms in another city like a month ago and that's when it started. The trip wasn't that long. My stomach just gets really nervous in big situations and I feel sick. But I don't have to go to the bathroom and I never throw up. I just feel really sick. This is a big challenge for me in my life right now. I want to go on huge trips away from home and have fun, but my stomach stops me every time. That's why I learn to breathe and try to relax. I try to get my mind off of it and just enjoy life. I prayed like a zillion times (I get really nervous when I'm sick I need to be patient) in the car hoping for a miracle when later I received a miracle. Just being around my friends (the scouts) and getting my mind of the sickness made me feel better. I knew it was my Heavenly Father who helped me. I mean I know he wanted me to see his beautiful waterfalls in Arizona. He wanted me to enjoy spending time outdoors. I feel bad because I wanted the whole point of the trip to be about making myself better. Improving my life. But all I did was eat candy in the car, watch movies, and counting the minutes until I was home. I didn't sit down and just enjoy what I had. I realize now how grateful I am for everything that I have. I love my friends. They are the most amazing people that I know. We don't always get along and sometimes I get really frustrated when they act immature. But the point is that they are all great and they all have their own individual problems and I should just learn to be patient with them. They are great people and I love them. There is even one friend who doesn't like me very much. I mean I try, but anyways I am very grateful for that person. I'm grateful for all the wonderful times that we have had. The good and fun times when we aren't mad at each other. I'm also grateful for my family. They are so awesome. They care about my needs and always are willing to help me. I'm grateful for my phone. I have an iphone and I love it. There are so many things I can do on it. Anyway my heart is full today and I love it. Today I went to church and I felt the Spirit so strong in Priesthood. It was so good. I love feeling the spirit. I also felt the Spirit while I was watching the movie "The Testaments." If you don't know what it is look it up. It's a great movie!!!! Anyway I love SUMMER. It is so AWESOME. I love the warm weather and hanging out with my friends. I love singing at the top of my lungs in my sister's room. I love looking out the window from the top floor of my house and seeing the sunset. I always think of the beach. I love the beach. I want to go to LA so badly. I've never been there before and I would love to see the freeway and the awesome beaches there. We actually started heading there yesterday. My leaders got on the wrong freeway and started going to LA. I was so excited until they realized they were going the wrong way and turned around. Ya oh I am so excited to watch a new episode of "Sam and Cat." It's a funny show. Okay well I will write soon. Bye!!!! Bye!!!! Bye!!!! (Backstreet Boys style)

Hello Again!!!! Wow it's already Wednesday. My day has been great. I was so happy to read my scriptures this morning before I started my day. Last night was so great. Okay so the story goes...... I had Driver's Ed today and I am practicing for my road test. So all I do is drive out on the road. Anyway so I had to get up early to go and that meant going to bed on time. So I read my scriptures early and was ready for bed. I read a talk from Conference, which was really amazing, and then I studied my scriptures. I have to say that when you study your scriptures, it's easier to understand them and more fun. Anyway so ya, but I hope that I have a lot of followers. Probably not because it's a blog and I just barely started it. So ya. My inspiration today for everyone is to always follow your dreams no matter what anyone says.

Okay I am now going to change the color of font: Wahoo!!!! Okay it's not that exciting, but it's a start. So everyone remember who you are and I am going to post a video of a ride from Disneyland. Can you guess what it is?

Like I said before my religion is a big part of my life. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. For those of you who haven't read my first post I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I love my religion. It is the greatest part of my life. One thing that I would love to do right now is bear my testimony. I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is so amazing. I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is so amazing and really is the best. I know that Joseph Smith was a true Prophet of God and that Thomas S. Monson is a true Prophet of God today. I know that Jesus Christ came to this Earth and atoned for everyone's sins. I am so grateful for him and his wonderful example. I know that families can be together forever. I love my wonderful parents. They are such great examples to me. I know that the scriptures are true. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
