Going to our Church....

so for almost the past mmonth my mom and I have been attending our ward every sunday. I have to say it is the best ward I have seen yet! we have some of the greatest people there in that ward. they are amazing people that make you feel welcome and loved, and accepted.

every sunday just seems to get better and better, every lesson is always a great one. and the teacher who teaches it is always wonderful! I wish I could have this experience everyday in my life all the time!

one thing I do know is that by reading my scriptures and praying daily I can become closer to heavenly father and feel of the spirit of the holy ghost, and feel of that presence when I am not at church. and do kind things for others throughout the week to make me feel good.

oh and I forgot to add that our building was dedicated today in a combined sacrament meeting with one other ward which was so amazing! it was the most wonderful experience today! I wish everyday was this good! oh and today I took my tithing to the bishop of our ward for the first time!

we read a little bit from doctrine and covenants today, and here is a verse I would like to leave you with about service. it is D&C 81:5 Wherefore, be faithful; stand in the office which I have appointed unto you; succor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the febel knees.

I would encourage you this week to go and do something good for someone and be an example to others around you.

have a wonderful week!

Lindsay Dean Passed Away.....

pictured above is lindsay at age 3

so far all of you who know me, I follow quite a few heart kiddo's blogs. well last friday the 17th of june, two days before fathers day lindsay suffered a seizure which led to cardic failure and she returned to heaven on the evening of the 17th.

please pray for the difficult time that their family is having. a few days after lindsay passed away her grandpa also passed away, so their family is dealing with a lot of loss right now. if you would like to help out with funeral costs you may go to lindsay's blog at http://lindsaysheart.blogspot.com and click on the "donate" button to the right hand side of the screen. they could use all the help they can get.

as her mom had just gotten out of the hospital that week, so their family is dealing with a huge medical bill overload right now. they could use a lot of extra prayers for some time..

St. George Trip......

so this past weekend around my grandma's birthday we went to st. George. it was such beautiful weather up there, and we had such a fun time up there enjoying it!

we spent a lot of time outside, and got some sun. I spent some time in the pool and hot tub. it was a blast! they water was so refreshing, especially on the second day in the pool.

we shopped at a ton of stores, and had a fun shopping spree of our own (which we never get to do at home) so we enjoyed ourselves that weekend while we had the chance.

we so did not want to have to come home. I got skme cool new clothes which I love! and I have loved wearing! now it is getting too warm for the pants I bought and they might be too big for me by winter, we will see :)

but at least they are one more pair that is long enough for me until then.

my mom and I had such a blast, we so did not want to come home. when we were driving home we drove home it 100 miles of rain which was really bad, and a nerve wracking ride, and drive for my mom since the drivers in utah either speed in the rain, and ride your butt because you are going a safe speed, and they don't care that you are being safe, or they speed and go off in the ditch and therefore create rubber necker drivers in the rain....lovely! so that is what we dealt with some of the way home.

over all we had a blast and so were not looking forward to coming back to reality, and our real lives back home.

we are for sure going to go visit there again, or even better we are going on a bigger trip later this year!
