I have NEVER met Al Fox Carraway. She probably doesn't even know I exist. That being said, she has been an incredible friend to me without even knowing she is doing so!!
Remember The Prophet’s Blessing
Back in April, President Nelson blessed us before he finished the Conference with this Apostlic Blessing: "During this time of tension and uncertainty,and invoking the authority vested in me,I would like to confer upon you an apostolic blessing • I bless you with peace and increasing faith in the Lord. • I bless you with...

Saturday Night Oxen Herding
My Saturday nights used to be pretty eventful. Sometimes, in fact, back in the LBC (Life Before Church), Saturday nights went on so long, Sunday morning got involved. Sometimes, there was even breakfast. When my new friends in my new church explained that the only reason for breaking Sabbath was if the “oxen were in... Continue Reading →
Five Years In The Church
Five years ago I made one of the most significant decisions of my life. Last year on the anniversary, I not only wrote about making the resolution to be Baptized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but I also made a video about my choice while I was waiting...

I Sustain The Prophet
I feel so blessed to type these words, "I sustain President Nelson." I feel blessed to have seen him speak in person before he was called to his present position. I remember thinking that he was so "young" in spirit and in intelligence for his chronological age. I was touched greatly by his talks in... Continue Reading →

Those words stayed locked inside of me as I thanked the Manchester Ward of the Bremerton, Washington Stake... Continue Reading →
Receiving Answers
Testimony. What does it mean to have a Testimony of Jesus Christ? My own relationship with that word, not necessarily the feeling, began shortly after I knelt to pray and asked how to become closer to Jesus Christ on March 6, 2013. I was immediately impressed that I needed to be Baptized into The Church of... Continue Reading →
A Temple Testimony of His Holy Spirit
I LOVE to see the Temple. The Twin Falls Temple in Idaho was the site of my “wrong turn” at the very start of the softening of my heart. Where I stopped and “felt” the building radiate out into the street. April 20, 2013: I went on my first proxy Baptism trip to the Seattle... Continue Reading →
Woman of Many Wards
In the past few months, from June to December 2013, I visited countless meetinghouses, three Stake Centers, and two Temples in two states. During that time, I was a member of no less than four different wards in two different Stakes. I attended church every single Sunday from the time I experienced my personal revelation...

To the Latter-Day Saints
To those who have felt His Healing touch; To those who know we've been Given much. To those who have glimpsed His kind face, and those who have stepped away from the 'race: Keep biking, Keep walking, Keep soldiering on; Keep learning, keep loving, keep singing His songs. One day in His Glory, Will drop... Continue Reading →
