Where has the month gone again!!!

You guys must think that I am really a slacker. It has almost been a month since I have posted. So here is a general rundown of the month. I am still going to college and liking it. Music theory is fun but I think that there are only about 4 people that know that I am only 14.
I finished my Personal Progress and am having my night to receive it next Sunday. My Projects for Personal Progress included: Reading the book of Mormon, Doing Secret Grandma's (Where you leave anonymous gifts on you adopted Grandma's porch), Going to spend ten days in Peru doing humanitarian projects over thanksgiving last year, going to learn about the 7 habits of Highly Effective Teens with my Mom, Creating this Blog, volunteering for the Marathon, and Sewing a Quilt for Primary Children's Medical Center.
In Seminary we have been learning about the second coming and all the signs and stuff like that, I am excited for it to come and I hope that it comes quickly. We have seen all of the signs but one and that is the Gospel being opened to the entire world. I hope and pray that that will happen soon. Brother Troyer, Who is my Seminary Teacher says that there is 2 ways that the savior can come and have the entire world know that he is here and that is, 1) having all of the continents come together as one, and 2) having no darkness, Sun, Moon or Stars, because he is the light that the sun gets light from. I really hope that it is the second way and that I can see the from above when we are lifted up.

All most done!!!

Where has the month gone??? I am sorry that I am such a slacker at posting but here is a rundown on how things are.
this week I got to go and help push cows down the mountain with my friend Carol and some neighbors, It was a ton of fun, and even though it was freezing cold (We where in snow the whole time coming from a place where it is still 85 in the afternoons)it was fun. I rode my Beautiful horse Dash (but I think he thought that I was crazy to take him up there).
This week was midterm grades and also UEA weekend so we went to Colorado with my grandparents for some fun. We spent a day at the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park and almost had it all to ourselves, Then we spent a day in Denver and the last day we went to a museum and on a bike ride in Fruta. It was really fun.
Now for the reason that I got to posting, I am like done with my personal progress, (All I need to do is make it to Salt lake to deliver a Quilt to the Primary children's hospital and Write me testimony in the back of the book)so i thought that I would work on posting the last journal entries. so here you go:
Individual worth #3
“Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God” (D&C 18:10)
We all have great worth in the sight of God, We are all his children. As I noticed qualities in other people, I came to appreciate qualities that Heavenly father has given me as well as the Qualities that I saw in others. I know that My Heavenly Father lives and that there is so much white in our lives but so little black, Sometimes it is easier to see the Black in others even though there is still a whole bunch more white that we should see. I am grateful for the love that heavenly father has for me that he would send his only begotten son to die that we could live.

Individual worth # 4
I participated in the 2008 Performance Evaluations for the Utah Music Teachers Association. I played “Waltz in Eb” By Muzio Clementi. I got a Superior and was able to play with my Sister, Brinley at another recital later that night. My self-worth extended in getting a good rating and being able to play. I know that we all have worth in the sight of God but sometimes we have to remind ourselves that we have Self-Worth as well and that we can do hard things.

Hope you all have a great day.

Personal Progress

I only have 2 More Things Left for Personal Progress!!! (after I finish this journal Page)

I went to the play "Big River". It was really good. They used to same language that was used back then and that means that it had some swearing but other than that it was good. I have 2 friends that was in this play acting as the Slaves and i just think that that is really cool and also think that it would be really had considering that they are black.

here are some things about the Play and the Thirteenth article of faith:
Honest: Huck Finn wasn't very Honest, sometimes for the good and sometimes for the Bad, He lied to get away from his Dad who was going to kill him, But he also lied to get money.
True: Huck Finn is true all the time to his friend Jim, He Free's him, Claims him as his so that he won't be taken as a runaway and much more.
... You know the story.
I will Post again about this week in a minute

Personal Progress

I almost have my Personal progress!!!
I am about 3 experiences away from it. but I have 4 journal entries that my Mom told me to post on my blog so here they are:

Faith #1:
I have developed a habit of personal prayer in my life. I have found that when I don’t say my prayers I will either have a bad night or an off day. I know that my Heavenly Father loves me and that all I have to do is pray and I will have help when I need it. He is always there and He loves me I know that He will help me when I need Him to and that He will always be there for me.

Good works #5:
My little brother Jakob takes a lot of taking care of sometimes. He is always into something. I love him so much and am grateful that I have had the chance to serve him for a while. I hope that I can always have the blessing of service in my life. I grateful to my parents that have helped me develop that habit. I Love you Jakob. I love it when you get that cute smile with dimples. I love it when you come running, and just want a hug. We all need hugs in this life, and I am grateful to get lots from you. Please always remember that I love you. I am grateful to get hugs from you! Someday you will be grown up, and a hug may become an awkward thing to share, but I will always remember the hugs we have shared as you have grown up. Somedays when I am just having a bad day, you are an angel to me, and hug me, and remind me that someone loves me. Thank you for loving me! I love you too, and I will forever! It must be how our Heavenly Father feels about each of us. I can’t imagine hugging him, but if it is as peaceful and comforting as hugging a darling little one like you Jakob, then I can’t wait to hug Him again! I love you Heavenly Father & Heavenly Mother! Thanks for sending me a little brother to teach me about Love!

Integrity #2 & 4
Integrity is defined as: The entire unimpaired state of anything particularly of the mind. Moral soundness or purity; Incorruptness, up rightfulness honesty, Integrity comprehends the whole moral character, but has a special reference to the uprightness in mutual dealings. Purity, genuine, unadulterated, unimpaired state.
I am grateful to have integrity in my life. I know that it is a lot easier to get things if people know that they can trust you. I am grateful that I have earned my parents trust and hope that I can always have that trust throughout my life. I know that if I have impeccable integrity that I will have more friends, a better relationship with my family, and others. I am grateful for that blessing in my life. One example of integrity in my life is my Dad. When he promises something, he always does his very best to come through with his promise. I know that I can trust what he tells me as the truth. I know that if he says we are going someplace, or that something will be done, he will do his very best to make it so.

Integrity #5
“Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection, that ye may have eternal life”
This is a great scripture. I believe there are two things that we have to do to be redeemed of God outlined in this scripture. The first is to serve – to mourn with those that mourn, and comfort those that stand in need. Jesus said that the first and great commandment is to Love your Neighbor as yourself. When I do something nice for someone else I feel good inside. It doesn’t always have to be a big thing, even something as simple as sharing vegetables with others brings a smile to my face. Sometimes serving others requires personal sacrifice. Then it is harder to give, like the time it took for me to make the quilt and donate it to Primary Children’s Hospital. It is a really cute quilt. I stayed up several nights really late getting it done. Even my Grandma doesn’t want me to give it away, but I know that I will feel really good giving it away. I look forward to taking it to Primary Children’s Hospital to deliver it to someone who needs a hug. I hope they know it is a hug coming from a Heavenly Father & Mother who love them!
The second part is standing as a witness of God at all times and in all things, and in all places. I have had some pressure to do horseshows on Monday night. I know that I will be blessed because I have chosen to follow the Lord’s counsel and not participate in activities on Monday nights. I am grateful for the prophet and the counsel that he gives. I know that by following the counsel that I am keeping my promise with the Lord, and striving to stand as a witness of Him. When I am willing to keep my promise, then He will keep His as he promises in D&C 82:10: “I the Lord am bound when ye do what I say, but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise.” I am grateful to know of promises like this from my Heavenly Father. I can trust Him. I know His promises are sure!

I know that the church is true and that I have a heavenly father who loves me. i Know that I have a divine porpuse on this earth and that I can live with him again someday. I know that Joeseph smith is a true prophet.
