Happy Easter! An Incredible Message from Elder Holland

Happy Easter everyone! I know I haven't updated the blog for a while, but my computer's been ridiculous until now! Anyway, I ran across this incredible YouTube message from Elder Holland and I wanted to share it with you all. I want you to think of Christ and His mission along with what you have had to endure, and you will find it extremely comforting. He has died and has risen again for you- may you never forget it!

Amazing Talk

So, life has been a little crazy lately and I needed a good spiritual boost yesterday. I found this talk by President Benson on "Cleansing in the Inner Vessel" that is so good. It emphasizes the need to read the Book of Mormon and the need to beware of pride. I think that often we get caught up into our own crazy lives and become really self-focused and can easily become vulnerable to pride. I've decided to incorporate Book of Mormon study in my daily routine and I think that it will really help. I love it when the prophets just speak the truth and tell us to repent!

Yep, I gave in!

Hello to all of my awesome blog visitors! So, I decided to try this out since friends and family members are starting to separate and I wanted a place to post pictures and write in more organized and upgraded way (Facebook's getting kind of old!) You even get your own background!

Honestly, if you know me, you'll know that I probably start this out in a big way and then struggle to update it after a while. But I want to try and give it a shot. I want to be able to express to you all how grateful I am for you and for my incredible life, including its ups and downs. (I got an ORCA grant yesterday!... and a bunch of zits on my face and I fell down in the snow on to work today :)). Let's get blogging!
