Just browsing...

i was surfing the church website. mainly looking for dances and all that fun stuff ... when i stumbled across this quote:

Give me a young woman who is virtous and who has maintained her personal purity. who will not settle less than a temple marriage and i will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the lord now and through eternity.

Ezra Taft Benson.

This also reminded me of something Brother Haltermen had told me after the Trek, "Stay strong, the Lord has great things for you, he needs you and we need you."

It just goes to show that we all have a purpose. it just depends on if we rise up to accomplish what we were sent down here to do... It means alot that people will notice the little things you do... and they compliment you for them.

But i guess the worldly view of the church is that men have all the importance, but its not true women have their role also, and we love accomplishing what we need to do. and we are also tools in the lords hands, which i think is just awesome!

anti mormonism

as i was looking for a picture of a temple.. i stumbled across this site http://windysydney.blogspot.com/2007/11/mormontemple,html

i do not understand why someone would post such a descriptive blog about the church. I mean at one time those things had to be sacred to her... correct? in one instance she says baptisms for the dead are not right. well i plan to go and do that this Thursday, she seems to believe that when the people are baptised that they have the religion forced upon them, that they must take it, and she has also claimed to have backed this information with real facts. But isn't that claim wrong (correct me if I'm miss understanding) they still have a choice to be part of the church right?

but the fact that she claims that she doesn't want to be degrading and that the Mormon church is lying to everyone. its at least degrading to me. i mean these are things that i firmly believe in... and she acts like its all a lie. but she had to have believed once, even if the spirit feels like warm fuzzies, because it does, i know that from my pioneer trek, why would people cross those plains if they thought it wasn't true?

the church is such a tight nit organization that everything interlocks and works, so how can you say it isn't true... i don't understand how someone can be so confused on something so simple.

i love the church with all my heart and if some people consider it a cult, then tell me why the Mormon church was faster then the red cross getting supplies to all the natural disasters. i know you cant reason with people who despise the church but at least look at all the good its done and be happy that its helped people.

and if your supposedly going to be telling the truth, say the whole truth.

BOYS...BoYS

i bet you read the title and started to think... hmmmm this will be intresting.

well i hope i satisfy....

i am 16, 23 days i will be 17.. but whos counting right... :D i have been called so many things for sticking to my faith, from being gay to a slur of not so nice words. but never the less i pressed on haha...

ive been asked countless times, tyaan why dont you date all the guys that ask you, and i respond over and over again.... cuz i dont wanna.. even when i want to! so my question is why are people so curious about why i dont date the boys at school, but when i give them the answer they dont listen. its really rather frustrating.... exspecially if you like a guy who isnt a member, thats hardcore status (im sure you all know) but one of my friends asked me, just out of curiostity if a guy asked me to wait for him while he was on his mission... would you... and i sat and pondered his question, i told him the one thing he didnt want to hear , no i wouldnt i would say we'll see how it is when you come back, and i then began to explain my reasoning behind it and i said becuase two years is a long time he would change so much and i would change too, so has i told him that, he said thats what everyones saying... i smiled and shook my head, he is a really good friend i thought to myself.

But the thing is thats were i stand now... but where will i stand if i do fall in "love" i dont think i will but i have to cover all my bases! haha i wonder if it will seem harder and more of a challenge when i actually have to act on my word... most likely but i think i can do it!! eeek thats scary!!

but as i am going into my senior year, im so excited to do everything, but really super nervous!!! its like freshman year all over again!!!! NO!!! haha just kidding.

but i am really excited to stay a kid, but i want to grow up.... and dating is part of growing up... haha so ya...
