Temples are so amazing! Not only are they beautiful on the inside and out, but there is also a kind of spiritual beauty. A few weeks ago I had the oppurtunity to go do Baptisms for the Dead with the YSA ward. Not many people came, but it was enough to make it pretty meaningful:) It is so wonderful to beable to renew those coventants made when I was 8, and being able to do that for someone who has passed on.
You are never alone, the Spirit is present. 

God's love is surrounding you.




Each time I go into the waters of baptism, my mind is filled with thoughts of the Savior's baptism by John the Baptist. What an example Christ was for us! Yet He was perfect He insisted on being baptized to not only show us, but God the Father, that He was willing to do God's will. 

I hoe and pray that one day I may be as willing as Jesus Christ to do God's will without hesitation. I know that this is all possible with God, 
 "27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." ( Mark 10)

Your Time is Now!

         First off, let me just say how beyond excited I am to serve a full-time mission! By now people might think that the excitement part has warn off and the nervous stage has hit. Well, that is not the case! No matter how hard and much I think about the MTC or the fact that I have to go out of the country for the first time, I have yet to find myself nervous. The secret is.... just the mere thought of being worthy and able to serve has washed away all doubt and insecurities. 
       I GET TO SERVE A MISSION.
I can't get enough of it. My smile has yet to fade, and my heart never ceases to flutter at the simple phrase,    " I'm going on a mission ." I hope and pray that you may come to feel as I do when you tell others of your fabulous decision :)
