happy sunday!

happy sunday! It’s like my friend Alison says, (we’ve met once so that means we’re like best friends, right?) “You are already as awesome as you need to be.” That is not to say you are already as awesome as you will be, but don’t get down on yourself because you are not yet what you know you can be. God doesn’t wait for us to “get our act together” before he is willing to help us. Instead he says, “Let’s start with where you are and go from there.” Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday!

happy sunday - respond to promptings promptly-01 I didn't exactly mean to go so long without blogging. (shoutout to auto-fill passwords or I probably wouldn't have even remembered how to log in...) I miss creating and sharing. I miss these "Happy Sunday" posts. I'm making any crazy blog-5-times-a-week-goals, but I'm trying to ease back into it. So here's a little thought for your Sunday, one that I have found to be oh so important. I am so thankful for the Holy Ghost and the promptings that I receive. I am thankful for other people who have blessed my life by acting on promptings. You can read the whole talk here.

 

happy sunday!

live true to the faith! Today I'm giving a talk in church based on this talk from William R. Walker. I'm actually really excited since I love family history and the temple! Preparing for this talk gave me a good opportunity to look at my own family history. My great-great-great grandmother was born in South Africa. When her family joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, they decided to come to America. The 6-week boat ride was full of terrible storms. One in particular forced the boat up on its side and all the furniture slid and smashed as it hit the side of the boat. Basically everyone on board went to their cabins and waited to drown. Without explanation, the boat righted itself and everyone was fine. The captain said that they must have been saved because of all the Mormons onboard (: Happy Sunday everyone! Feel free to share any cool family history stories in the comments.
