Today was Amazing

I would just like to say that I know my Heavenly Father lives and loves me and that my Savior, Jesus Christ, my brother, died for me. I had the amazing opportunity today to get my patriarchal blessing. It was the best thing that I have been able to experience so far. I know the gospel is true and that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I know that President Thomas S Monson is a true prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know that my family and I will be able to see each other after we die. I will be able to see my grandpa again. I know that once I repent, it is forgotten. I know that each and every one of my family members have the opportunity to repent. I know of the power of prayer. It is one of the strongest things in this world. I love that I know this without a shadow of a doubt. I love knowing that even if I feel alone, due to my worldly challenges that I was given, I will never be truly alone. Even if I doubt, I will be given a surety. I love my testimony and I am grateful that it can and will grow. I love you all and I am so grateful to all of you.

Personal Progress: Evening in Excellence

On March 23, 2014, I met with Bishop Layton to receive my Young Womanhood Recognition Award, also known as my Young Women’s Award. I stood up in sacrament meeting on March 30, 2014 and was presented with my medallion. Unfortunately, it was 3 days after I had Carpal Tunnel surgery and was hopped up on pain meds, so I don’t remember as much as I want to.  But I do remember how spiritually happy I felt. As soon as I turned 12 and went into Young Women’s, I made it a goal to finish my personal progress as soon as I could. So when I did, I felt so blessed and I knew my Heavenly Father was proud of me.

            I started looking through my book as soon as Jeanette Singleton, MiKell Flamm, and my Mom gave it to me. But soon after that, I let it go. A couple months later, I began to get really serious about it. I brought it to church with me and constantly thought about what I could do. Throughout the week, I would try to complete as many value experiences as I could. I remember thinking I wanted to complete all of my stuff by the time I became a Mia Maid. Sadly that didn’t happen. One of the reasons was due to my mom being released from young women’s and another, because of Junior High and the adjustment to it and the homework.

            When I did became a Mia Maid, I looked back through the book and saw how many value experiences I completed already. I was able to check off almost every single one through mutual and my own experiences. Then I just needed to worry about the Projects. I was too worried to even try for a few months. But then I looked through those as well and I found that I had started practically all of them. I just needed to continue to put in the hours and get the approval from my leaders. My leaders also asked me to put together a couple of power points and help out with other things that could actually contribute to my projects. At one point, I had actually had 3 projects going on at the same time.

            It took me, surprisingly a long time, to complete my very last project. I started in December of 2013 and it took until March of 2014. Normally, I could get one done in a month. I chalked it all up to the stress of High School, sickness and pain, and surgeries. But boy did I feel so good when I did.

            My favorite project of all time is a toss up between my Faith project, Good Works project, and my Virtue project.  Faith was a compilation of my photography, Good Works was a video of my Young Women, and of course my Virtue was reading the book of Mormon for the first time. I think I would have to say Good Works though. That is the one where I specifically designated it for my project and I worked with a lot of people to complete it. I was able to learn how to use the technology to make a fun movie of our adventures throughout the year 2011. My leaders got me all the pictures that we have taken and they put in tons of input. It let me learn more about technology, because I love doing that. It helped me reminisce about girl’s camp, boating, and other fun young women’s activities. It also made me feel really good because it made everyone happy.

            Personal Progress has helped me to know that I am a daughter of God. I have a Heavenly Father who loves and cares for me. I have worked on these things for 4 years now and if I were to look back, I know that I never felt my Heavenly Fathers love more than I do now. He has always loved me, but now I can recognize it. I have discovered my true worth. I have faith. I have a divine nature. My individual worth is great. I have the most abundant knowledge. I am accountable for the choices I make. I have done many good works. I have integrity. I have virtue. I know that I am a daughter of a King. I would like to bear my testimony that I know this church is true. I love this gospel with all of my heart. I try to live it every single day. I know that we all have a great worth. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

New years Resolutions

My New Years Resolutions for 2013 are:

2- Get active/ loose weight
3- Say kinder things / clean up my language
             * would you say that if Jesus was right next to you?
4- Develop my testimony
                             
Those are the only ones I can remember now, but i've made somewhere around 20 or 30 or them (:

Busy Week

This week is going to be so very busy for me! Today I'm going back to that amusement park that I had so much fun at. Tomorrow I am going to do baptisms for the dead. Yes, I am Mormon, LDS, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is what I believe. Anyway, Wednesday I get to wake up at 5:30 a.m. to go to Girls Camp up at Camp Aspen Ridge in Idaho. I will be gone for 4 days. It's originally a Boyscout camp, but they let the Young Womens come up sometimes. When I get back, I am going to go to one of my very good friends' birthday party. Coincidentally, her birthday is during Girls Camp, she is in my ward, so she will be gone during her birthday. So thats good and bad, she wont be able to celebrate with her family, but she will have fun with us. 

AMUSEment Parks

I officially loved going on the roller-coasters last Monday. It was one of the best experiences ever! I am very happy to say that I went on 6 in a row! Sadly enough, I got sick after those C: But I am going back today! I was able to go for the same amount I did on Monday. It was reduced by about 30 dollars. So that was awesome! I am super excited to go back! 

Roller-Coasters

Today I am terrified! I am going to go with my cousins to an Amusement Park that we live close to. I have only been on 4 "roller-coasters"- Splash Mountain, Grizzly River Run, Mouse Trap or Wild Mouse, and Indiana Jones Adventure. Those were super fun! Except for Splash Mountain, I didn't like that one. I am the type of person that dislikes heights, drops, and going too fast. Those are what roller-coasters are! My cousins who are all older than me, are making me go on them. But I am very scared! My mom told me that she was scared the first time going on one, but then the exhilaration and fun coming out of it was way better than the fear. I just hope she's right and that I will be like that. Wish me luck!  

Johnson Family Fun!

Yesterday was an amazing day. Our fantastic family friends from Florida came (and yes I just realized that there are 5 "f" words in a row)! We haven't seen them for 8 years! That is craziness. Well, we talked for about 3-4 hours, and then we went to our little yogurt shop in town. We wanted them to try it, because it is heaven! They said it was better than their little yogurt shop in their Florida town. That made us feel happy. (See big smiley face picture to the side) We then took some pictures of the "all grown up kids", which I believe we are. Then some of the parents, and then us together. It was a super fun day. 

Hard

Sorry everyone for not posting! It has been really hard to try to keep up with everything. But one of my new years resolution is to start posting more. I am going to kinda use this as a journal too. I cant write it down. Its easier to type it for me.

I got sooooo many awesome things for Christmas! I am so grateful. I got a very nice camera-and all of the equipment, a kindle, a cute notebook, some new bras that I've been needing, some very very very cute clothes, and a lot of jewelry! There is a lot more but I just remember those things right now as I'm on the computer. I will post pictures so you can see exactly what I got.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Buddy Boy's Birthday

Just to think......4 years ago I was in school and got called down to the office. My mom was there and she said my baby cousin was just born.....they named him Tanner. He had a club foot and had to get it fixed. For the next few months of his life he was in casts. Then 2 or 3 yrs. after that we found out that he's on the Autism spectrum. Now he turned 4 today! I feel old..................I LOVE YOU TANNER!!!!!!!!!!

2010-2011 The Overview

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2010 was a great year! Fun and sad at sometimes, but overall a great year! I made so many new friends in 2010 and did lose some. I stepped out of elementary school and ran into junior high. Oh how I miss Mrs. Williams, Mr. Beer, Mrs. Ostermiller,  Ms. Johnson, and almost everyone else in the whole school! I remember the 6th grade dance, the softball lessons, the huge faculty vs. 6th grade softball game, the fun party's, the dare lessons, the dare boondocks day, the dare graduation day,  The summer was fun too. I went to St. George over my sis's birthday and saw my cousins that I hadn't seen for a very long time. I started acting classes for free and at first felt very shy, but on the last few times made some very dear friends. Then did a whole play w/ them! But that's basically all that I remember of the summertime. Then all the days at school have passed by quickly......now it's 2 days until we go back to school. I hope that 2011 will be a great year, better then last year!

Blizzard

Man this blizzard was bad today but like right now its not a blizzard at all! It's stinks! We canceled our trip to Kanab because of the "Blizzard." Oh! Guess what? I made up an awesome word! Its *Blizzaring*........It's sooo cool right? I love it!!
      
Today at 4:30 I went to mutual instead of tomorrow at 6:30 and we went to the Bishops Storehouse. It's was so much fun. My friend Teri {she's new in young womens} she didn't know who everyone was and so this boy who's real name is zach and my friend bethanne were teasing her saying they were brother and sister-they're not- and saying his name was mike, michael, daniel and all these funny names and we were having such a fun time! OH I LOVE MUTUAL AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN IT!!!!!!!
