So, I got inspired by some ensign articles about family history, so I decided to go to the family history center to do some!! And, I found some work to do! And, I can learn about my family history from my ipad! Hey, maybe that's the missing piece activity that I can do while I'm here! It's exciting.
We also go to hear from members of the presidencies of the general primary, relief society, and young women's, specifically talking to the women in Houston! So cool. They bore powerful testimonies that if we just remember that we are beloved daughters of Heavenly Father, we can find peace and joy in this life through Jesus Christ. It was a very special moment for all of us to hear from them. Here are 4 things that Elaine S. Dalton told us that we must always do 100%. She was talking to the Young Women, but I'm pretty sure we are included too.
1.Pray morning and night every day 100%.
2. Read the Book of Mormon at least 5 minutes a day 100%
3.Live the standards in the For the Strength of Youth 100%.
4.Smile at least once a day every day 100%.
Isnt that cute, how she told us to smile? She really is awesome! She told us about a young woman named Vivian from South Africa who, when asked about the hardships she had to face, told her, but Sister Dalton, we have the gospel of Jesus Christ! Barbara Thompson told us about "not taking short-cuts" and not listening to Satans lies that we are not good enough. And that the prophet loves us. The other sister that spoke, I dont remember her name but she was from the primary presidency and shared her testimony that we are daughters of our Heavenly Father. Our area seventy spoke too, he gave a great talk but, I dont remember what it was about exactly, haha. All of the speakers told us many things but especially they just embraced us with their uplifting and inspiring message and the love in their eyes.
After that, and after geneology, I just felt like my cup was over-flowing with blessings!
I am now planning to see Ricky in May, after I go to Kayla's wedding! Super excited about that. Ricky and I are thinking of having me meet him in his mission area! He hasnt gone back there since his mission, and we havent had our honeymoon yet, so, this could be the right occasion, we just have to see how much plane tickets cost. If not, we will definitely do it by the end of the year! Yay.
I hope everyone is doing well!
