COMPLETLY DONE!

Well as of last night at 11:55 pm I finished my requirements
to get my YW recognition award. I just did the leader requirements
but it feels great to have accomplished it again. I finished the last
knowledge, integrity and virtue goals that I needed to do. I am
always amazed at how much they still have relevance to my life.
I know that today I was granted an extra amount of patience
because of the work that I put in to finish last night. Now I will
work towards getting my honor bee.

Virtue.... DONE!



So last night I finished reading the Book Of Mormon. I can't
believe it's taken me so long to read it. I forget how awesome
the last few books are. I know that I have started reading
it a million times but I get lost somewhere in Alma. I feels
so great to finish it again. I have such a testimony of
the scriptures. Every time I read it I am reassured of the
truthfulness of the gospel.

Almost there!

I am less than 10 pages from the end of the BOM. I think that I have
started reading the Book Of Mormon a lot of times but I have given up
so reading through Ether and Moroni has been great. I have forgotten so
much about the Jaredites. They go from the Brother of Jared who had
so much faith that Heavenly Father couldn't hide himself from him
to constant war.... One brother fighting another Brother or father. It's
just ridiculous. Also we have all the 'secret combinations'. The problem
is that I know that we have all of these same issues today it's just more
excepted. I've decided that when I'm done reading this time (hopefully
I can finish today) that I'm going to read through the BOM chronologically.
That's a way that I've never read it before.

Virtue Project Continued

Well I'm plugging along on my virtue project. I am now in
Mormon. It's so sad to me. You know the people of Nephi
had peace in the land for 200 years after Christ left....
And 160 year after that they have fallen so far away that
Heavenly Father has forbidden Mormon from leading
them. It's hard to read all this cause it seems like such a
short time (10 pages) to go from COMPLETE PEACE to
war and hate from everyone. I guess there is just a lot to
learn about being humble. And remembering the teachings
of our prophets.

Virtue Project Continued


Last night I was reading the BOM. I was really touched
by the part during Christs visit when he blesses the children.
I was swept in in the thought of Christ telling me to bring forth
my little ones. And then having then surrounded by a multitude
of Angels. I cannot even begin to fathom how amazing that
would have been. But Also I know that my little angels have
been blessed by Christ and my Heavenly Father. Amazing.
