Saturday Scripture

Here is a scripture which I think is very wonderful, I have found that it is alot like the other scripture I love so much which is found in Alma 13:28-29, and as I was reading this I fell in love with it. It is a really good scripture!!

.

Alma 37:35-36

35 O, remember, my son, and learn wisdom in thy youth; yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God.

36 Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and withersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy toughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let thy affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.

37 Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day.

.

So I was reading this scripture the other day, and the first verse we all know very well, but I like the next two much better, because it tells you if you walk in the Lords footsteps, you will enter into his presence some day, that is just way awesome too me!!!

Another Book of Mormon Placed!!!!

Yesterday, I had to go to a practice for a sepecialy number for an Institute Chorale concert. I have no car, so I had to take public transportation to the practice. While I was at the Front Runner station, a girl asked me if I had a phone she could borrow. Of course she had to ask the one person who didnt have a phone. We started talking, and I ended up telling her I was going on a mission. She graduated the same year as me, and she went to a school in Salt Lake. I asked her if she was L.D.S. and she told me that she wasnt, so just as the Salt Lake train pulled up I asked her if she would like a copy of the Book of Mormon, and I told her that she should read it, because it is a great help in my life. I happened to have a Book of Mormon in my back pack, and I gave it to her. She opened it while she went to get on the train to Salt Lake. I thought it was so cool that the opportunity just happened to come up, and I was able to give someone the chance to have the Book of Mormon. I really hope she reads it, and prays to know that it is true. It was a real blessing to be able to talk to her, and have a missionary moment with her. I cant wait for my mission, so I can have those moments all the time!!!

Going Through The Temple!!!

So I had the opportunity to get my endowments out yesterday, and it was the best expierience of my life. I feel so blessed to have the gospel in my life, and to have Temples surrounding the place I live. I felt the spirit so strong while in the temple, and you could feel such an absence of the advesary. I think it is the best thing that you can do when you are old enough, and worthy. I am so proud of my family, and so glad that they could all be worthy for the temple. I cant wait till Annie is old enough to go through, that way we can go as a whole family.

My Mission Call

I know that I am really late on this, because I am pretty sure most of you already know about my mission through facebook, but I thought it would be fun to post a video of me opening my call. I am so excited for my mission. It is definitely going to be the best to years of my life. I just cant wait to go into the MTC. I am so EXCITED!!!!!!

So there you have it I am going to be going to the Cebu, Philippines Mission. I am so excited. You also learned from the video that I will be leaving to the MTC on the 23rd of September, and that I will be learning the Cebuano language while at the MTC, and throughout my mission. I just cant wait!!! I am so ready to serve the lord with all my Heart, Might, Mind, and Strength. I am looking forward to the day to go into the MTC.

This is the Philippines Flag, just to show you all, I am pretty sure some of you already knew what it looked like, but I sure didn't. I think its pretty cool. I should probably look up the meaning of it. But there it is.

This is a digital image of the Cebu Philippines Temple, it is to be dedicated sometime during January. So I will be there when its dedicated. I think it is so cool, that they are putting a temple up in my mission while I am there. It is so cool that its getting put up in my mission, because my mission is so small. I am so ecstatic that this temple is going up in my mission.

Yellowstone Trip

These are some pictures and videos of my families Jackson/Yellowstone trip. It was very fun, and I dont think we had one major fight the whole time which is very rare on these kind of things, but like I said it was alot of fun and we all really enjoyed it.

Jackson Hole squirrel he was very funny,

he had this underground system and

kept popping up in different parts of the

square.

This is the squirrel I saw at the Cabin we

stayed at, he was very quick and agile. I

watched him climb up a tree, and then he

started making weird noises.

This is me and Annie at Old Faithful, we

were showing off our cool hoodies. She had

her Utah State one, and I had my Weber

State one. I think she is jealous that my

hoodie is cooler than hers.

This is just one of the gysers at Yellowstone.

I thought the bubbling was pretty cool, so I

took a video of it.

Another gyser I thought it was pretty cool

as well and it was sure acting up for me.

This was a cool waterfall in yellowstone, it

has a name, but I forgot what it was called.

So anyway it was a really cool waterfall.
