The temple is an amazing place

Man January 26, 2013 was one of the best days I have ever had. I was able to go through the Rexburg, Idaho Temple and receive my endowment. I was so relaxed all through the temple and I could feel the Lord's love for me. It was so amazing to be able to feel the love so strong of the savior and of my loved ones that have passed on before me. There is no doubt in my mind that they were all there with me. I could also feel that what I was doing was the right thing. The decision to serve a mission at this point in time is what I need to be doing with my life and the confirmation of this was a real treat to have. I love this gospel so much. I cannot wait to go to the temple over and over again and grow closer to the Lord!

 

Temple Tomorrow!

Oh my word time flies by really fast. I am going to be able to go through the Rexburg, Idaho Temple tomorrow night! It feels like just yesterday that I was a 12 year old little girl with the goal of going to the temple one day and getting married for time and all eternity. BUT it is so wonderful that the Lord has a plan for each and every one of us. If you would have asked me back then if I thought I would serve a full time mission I would have looked at you like you were crazy said "HECK NO" in an enthusiastic voice. I am so grateful that my mind was changed with time and that the experiences and blessings prepared me for the next step in my life. Heavenly Father really does have a tremendous plan for each and every one of us and through many instances in my life I have come to find that this is a huge truth in the church. Never believe that you do not belong somewhere or that what you are going through is unnecessary. The Lord knows what he is doing and it is up to you to rely on him to find out what the lesson in that particular time in your life. If you find yourself run down and tired keep going. Remember the Lord gives his biggest battles to his strongest soldiers. It will get better just ask for His help.

Mission Call Day! (: 1/10/13

My mission call came yesterday and OH BOY HOWDY AM I EXCITED! (: It was probably one of the longest days of my life..... But it is also one of the best. The feeling I got when I opened that call cannot even be expressed in words. I am so glad that I have the opportunity to serve the lord with all my might, mind and strength. Leaving my family will be one of the most difficult things I will have to do but 18 months will not be long enough for me to serve. It is good that I never have to stop serving the Lord though, that is something that I can do forever and for that I am thankful! I was happy to have some of the most important people with me when I opened my call.  I opened it at school so my family was not able to attend the opening of the call but I got to phone (have to get used to using this language) them later. My call was to MANCHESTER ENGLAND!!! (that should explain the above parentheses). May 30th cannot come fast enough, I want to enter the England MTC right now..... BUT I have a lot of preparing to do before this happens (: Until then I will serve the Lord and make myself the best I can be before I enter the mission field. I love this Gospel!
