Sunday July 27th

What a wonderful day It was great to welcome two new members into our church. You could just feel the Holy Spirit there.

I finally wrote my Mormon.Org profile. Lawauna Go check it out!

Today before Sunday school a friend gave me a binder to study the Doctrine and Covenants. I am so excited. I will have to work this into my study. I need to finish reading them first. I am really enjoying my morning readings. They are pretty fantastic. I do realize a difference in when I don't read them before work and when I do.

I was to see that Amazon Prime has some great videos.
The Times and Teachings of Joseph Smith - I have watch this. I loved it.

Emma Smith: My Story - Another wonderful movie

Joseph Smith- The Prophet of the Restoration - Great movie.

One thing I love about these movies are that Nathan Mitchell portrays Joseph Smith in each of these. He just does an awesome job portraying the Prophet.

Nathan Mitchell as Joseph Smith

This is so true! I also love the connection to the Tardis.

Another post! Gasp two in a month! lol

Things are going great. Wonderful job. Wonderful family.

Pretty Rainbow after work. I always remember that the rainbow is a promise to us from God.

Recently I have obtained a subscription to Ancestry.com, Myheritage.com, and Findmypast.com I LOVE working on my genealogy. It is so awesome. I love the little leaf on ancestry. I am like a little child each time I get one.

Next month I will be doing something I never thought I would do. First I am going to be talking to a group of woman about the websites listed above and show them how to access and find what they are looking for. Then 3 days later I will be standing up in front of the congregation and giving a talk about my conversion. I am excited and nervous at the same time.

Great verse. I love this verse. This verse was instrumental in me becoming a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have a copy of this verse sitting at my desk.           

May everyone have a wonderful blessing filled day.

Terrible with keeping this up! But will try

So I have come to the conclusion that I am terrible keeping up my blog. It is frustrating to me. I know not many, if any, still read it. But I promise if not for you then for myself, I will work on this.


Many things have happened. I will share the biggest two!

I was baptized into the Church of Christ of Latter-Day Saints on March 15, 2014. I have not come down from the cloud I am on.

Elder Nilsen, Myself, Monkey, Krissy, Elder Lott

This day was amazing. It took three times to be completely submerged (and a knock on the head) but after that third turn I felt it. I felt the spirit and the love. The Bishop joked after that I was quicker in getting changed that Elder Lott.


Being a History fanatic, I study and read a lot about the doctrine, I read scripture every day, I am always looking into the founding of the church and Joseph Smith Jr. The Early Mormons by no stretch of the imagination had it easy. So many trials, so many tribulations. Every time they started  getting comfortable in a place Satan had other plans and they had to up and move. I don't mean move down the street or next door. I mean move hundreds, thousands of miles away. Some with only wagons and some with just being able to walk. Many had to leave family, many had to leave their material items because it wouldn't fit. All had to leave their homes, their lands. One of my favorite books about the history is the Truth Restored. I have read this book twice. Both times it has left me in tears. Not tears of sadness (well some as I was reading of the suffering) but tears of eternal gratitude. Eternally grateful that a young, 14 year old, boy listened to his heart. Listened to his scripture and asked. Asked for wisdom from our Heavenly Father. One of my favorite scriptures in the Bible is:

James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and unbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

Ask God. That was what Joseph Smith Jr. did. Asked God for wisdom. Asked God which church should he join.
Eternally grateful that even though I am not perfect. I have made many mistakes. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and that I will get to spend eternity with Him.

On another note... Grandbaby Number 4 is on her/his way. She/he is due December 27th.

May you all have a wonderful and blessing filled day!
