So it has been one of those weeks. Ya i know
it just started but still. I got thinking about
things in church on sunday. The only sane day
i have had so far. About how much of my life
i screwed up. I had some great friends in
Elementry school that i lost when i moved i
just started hanging out with other people.
Then middle school and i got into not a bad
crowd but not the good friends i use to have.
Then high School I got into a lot of trouble
in high school.. well not a lot
but i did things i knew was wrong. I still went to church
but i was never a great role model for the young women.
All my young women leaders told me how great of an
influence i am on the young women and young men.
It never really hit me tell i really thought about.
And realized how many people looked up to me.
After a huge mistake i made my senior year
i realized how stupid it really was. After that i
started hanging out with tiffanie perkins.
O my gosh she has such a strong spirit
she stood up for what she believed in. She helped
me out a lot. Now me and Nate are working towards
the temple! If it wasn't for the great influences
i have in my life i dont know if me and
nate would make it there. But i have looked at all the
people who have gone through the temple and how
happy they are. For example my mom
and tony! they are great examples to me.
And kayla and jason!! I knew kayla before and it
suprised me when i heard she was married in the temple
But it got me thinking about how much i want that happiness.
No one is perfect but we can all be great examples.
Thank you too all the people who have loved me and been great
examples!! i love you all!!

I am so very proud of you, Mandi and I always have been. YOU are a strong spirit and I always knew that your testimony was strong. You just had to find your way. We all do. It's like learning to ride a bike or learning to walk we fall, scrape our knees, and get back up and keep going. Perfection has never been expected ..... we are just supposed to keep trying .... every day trying to do a little better than the day before. And when we fall short (and we WILL fall short) that is what the atonement is for. I love you Lou, you and Nate and Jax. Just keep trying...every day. You are doing a great job !
What an awesome goal!!!! That is really exciting, we would love to help in any way, just let us know. Just remember that as you prepare to go to the Temple, that satan works extra hard on you. Just be prepared to pull out the big guns to fight hard to keep your goal in focus, it is so worth it!!!
