On to Washington

As titled, I am in Washington for the weekend. It took 3 days to get here in a car sitting three across with my cousins. On the way we stopped at the Twin Falls temple and went through the open house. AS we went into the different ordinance rooms you could fell the spirit so strong. We went to the Ceiling room and it went so white and bright and we didn't talk in that room and it was so neat! I love the temple so much and I am grateful that i could get to go inside and feel the spirit.
The next thing that we stopped at was the falls that was really neat and pretty.
We then went to to an underground tour and that was really cool to learn about some history of that town.
yesterday we went to see the fish climb the ladders and that was cool even though there weren't many;)
today sadly we aren't going to church but we are going to Mt. St. Helen's.
I'll write back soon;)

What a Week

What a week it has been.
I haven't been home for a full week for 3 weeks and I will be gone for a about 3 more weeks. If any one has any ideas on what I should do for my horse, Lady who know is getting eaten alive by flies because she is allergic to the fly spray that should be all natural and also the one that I used all summer last year please tell me.
I finally got pictures on my blog, can you believe it???
Last week was so fun, we went to SLC and played with my cousins. We went hiking, boating, swimming, and had a family party with all of my Grandpa's side of the family. On the 4th we went and took the Tram at Snowbird and then hiked down (Or should I say "bum slide"). It was so fun.
I have just finished (4 or 5 days ago) a book about Emma Smith. It was a really cool book. I learned so much about what she went through although it was a novel I knew most of the events that were included. She lost 5 children. She lost the approval of her father and was disowned from her family. She lost her husband, and she was always helping others before herself. I really admire her.
That is enough for today but I will post later.

Emma Smith

alue="http://www.youtube.com/v/HaH_OKPO-zs&hl=en">
I just saw this up on the computer and thought of how much that Emma Smith has gone through. I am reading the book called "Emma, a women of faith" and thought that this clip resembled just a tiny part of what she went through.
Emma is my Hero. She went through so much for this church. She lost 3 sons before she could have one that lived, she lost the respect of her Father because he thought that she was a fool for marrying Joseph Smith. She helped translate the Gold plates but wouldn't even think about taking even just a little peek at the plates even when she knew that others had seen them.
I realy look up to her and if i had to choose two Women that I would want to be like it would be My MOM and Emma Smith.
I pray that I can become Half as Great Women as these two women are.
I Love My Savior Jesus Christ and know that He lives. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet called for these latter-days. I know that the Book Of Mormon was brought forth at this time to help us. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
