We can be together forever someday

Dear Reader,

I'm a little behind on my writing it seems. The song for today comes from a video produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about our purpose in life. I thought of it while attending my friend's wedding reception on Thursday evening. She and her husband (Well, they are getting married in a few hours) are very  good together. It was nice to get together and see them and all of their family. :)

One of the best parts about that evening was getting together with my best friends. I have no idea where I would be without them in my life. We are kind of separated across cities at the moment, but that doesn't stop us from having fun along the way in our busy lives. We laugh and talk about our troubles and are generally loving with each other. I love them dearly.

I have to say that I look forward to taking the step that my friend and her husband are taking this morning. They are getting married in the temple by the priesthood authority of God. That is a step I will take eventually, but not yet. It is not in the cards for me very soon, but it will happen. That is one of the best instances in life that we can experience as human beings. I look forward to see my other friends take the same step in their lives.

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

Book of Mormon Stories

Dear Reader, Today I simply want to share a story that has strengthened my testimony of the Book of Mormon over the years. Professor Felix Mynhardt was fluent in many languages, including English, Afrikaans, Hebrew and Egyptian, as well as many others. He was employed as a language professor when he had been praying that the Lord would give him some divinely important task that would justify his having this gift of language from God. In 1970 he visited with a group of Mormon leaders, who sought to commission him to translate the Book of Mormon from English into Afrikaans. He said that he knew of the Book of Mormon from his religions studies, and his initial reaction was that he did not want to be involved in translating it. However, that evening, as he prayed upon his knees, as was his habit, he said the Spirit of the Lord convinced him. The message was something on the order of, "You asked me for a great, divinely inspired task of translation, I sent it to you in the form o...
