It's My Life!

Dear Reader,


The song lyrics today come Bon Joji. I'm not a huge fan, but that song is really catchy. Anyway, today I write mostly because I haven't written in awhile and I was afraid that you, my friend, would miss reading my great insights into life (Maybe not, but you're getting some anyway). Actually, I can tell you about life with just a short comedic video made by Studio C, the comedy series produced by BYUtv.


Yes, there are certainly a lot of lessons to be learned from this video. Studio C does a pretty good job with some of their sketches and it gets you thinking while you giggle.

Anyway, life is just chugging along right now. Classes keep me pretty busy and right now I'm working on an Internship for Write Express, which is pretty fun. There are a lot of obstacles to overcome, like computers that crash, programs that aren't compatible and laziness. Laziness isn't an obstacle, I just wanted to remind myself of the weaknesses I'm working on.

Speaking on working on weaknesses, we had General Conference this weekend! That was quite a fun time. I was able to go home on Saturday before spending all day Sunday in the BYUradio studio to operate the sound board. There were lots of great things said and taught:


  • We don't marry perfection, we marry potential. 
  • "Put your trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good." - President Henry B. Eyring
  • Nothing is more crucial in your life than your own personal conversion.
  • Just do it!
  • Have faith and go forward
There are three new apostles in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints starting this General Conference. Unfortunately there are lots of people who are making a big deal about the fact that the 3 new apostles (Ronald A. Rasband, Gary. E Stevenson and Dale G. Renlund) being white and the fact that they were all born in Utah. I won't try to teach those people anything. All I will say is that they are called of God. Why God called them? I have no idea. Said people, who claim to want diversity in the leadership of the Church, are welcome to read this article about Elder Renlund, who has almost as much foreign experience as he has here in the United States.

Back to the main point, though, General Conference was awesome. I need to go back and read the talks that were given, which you can also do by visiting the Conference page on lds.org.

That is how my life is going right now. How is your life going? What did you like about the LDS General Conference? Let me know!

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...
