Wow
This month has gone by so fast. And I cannot believe that its the beginning of November. This month has brought a lot of Ups and a lot of downs but most of all its brought a lot of learning.I have never felt closer to Heavenly Father and been more grateful for his gospel then I have been over this last month. I gave my first talk in 5 years and I didn't even get nervous so that was good. I have been working hard on reading my scriptures and saying my prayers more. I still forget and am not perfect but I know that my relationship with heavenly father has become better. For many of you that don't know I have began to like a certain guy in the YSA. Yes as impossible and difficult as that is to believe that is true. I try to do as much as I can and go to as many things as I can to see and to talk to him. He is totally amazing and totally the kind of guy that I am looking for.
Umm things are looking up right now and looking totally amazing, I am grateful as hard as they can be at times I am grateful for the trials that he gives me. it only makes my testimony and my dedication to the gospel stronger. I have been fighting satan and fighting the temptations that have come into my life in recent weeks. its still a struggle with my family especially as they are not active and do not go. But I still go every week in hopes that one day my wonderful example will rub off on them. that is only my hope.
I have had my struggles but my reading with my friends have only helped my struggles be able to become easier to bear. God loves me, I know that and I know that is the truth as much as I have struggled with that over my life, over truly feeling and truly knowing what it truly is to feel loved but I know that it is true. God has blessed me with truly amazing friends that have never given up on me and i thank them for that.I love you all thanks for always being there for me... your all wonderful and the best people that have come into my life...
i am also super excited london has sister missionaries back and I met them at stake conference and have already made 2 new friends. they are grateful that I am willing to go out with them and that I am even willing to drive them. something sometimes is hard.
Anyways I am off I just wanted to touch base and say I love you all...

A New Me!!!!!
You may be wondering why my post name is a New me. because that is what has happened.
There has been a lot going on in my life lately that has caused me to have a change of heart and to feel different about stuff.
I want you all to know first off I have my Advanced Achievement Certificate for the Institute program I received it my very first sunday back at church from my summer of work. I have been reading the new testament with my friend Haley every sunday I am learning lots through our study together.If I do not understand something she is always willing to help me to understand the chapter how I have really enjoyed being able to read the new testament together.
So on sunday I gave my first talk in 5 years, I was kind of nervous and kind of scared about what I was going to say I had fretted over it all week what I was going to say and then on friday I decided that after praying about it over the week that it would be nice to start writing my talk.
the things that I did not think that would come out did come out the lord blessed people I know they told me. He helped me answer 2 people's prayers on sunday. The feeling that I felt after I was told that made me have re confirmation that this church is true. God loves each and everyone of us, I know that I am a daughter of god. I know that this church is true. and that I have been blessed to have you all as my friends.
I am still taking Institute and learning the Old Testament,I enjoy institute I just had a birthday and since its a year older its a new year for me and for the way things are going to go.
I am going to do and be the best I can I am going to look at each situation in a better and more positive light.I know that if jesus can be positive in every situation then that I can and do be better. I love you all! I am going to do and be better.
thanks for all your love and support your all the best and mean the most to me.
Love ya thanks
