Back to Basics

Topic for today-


THE SCRIPTURES!!!! I mean seriously, aren't they great? Can you think of any book that can do more for you than the scriptures?

But... when was the last time you read them? And not only read them, but pondered on them and applied the story, the verse, the lesson, to your life?

 Ok. Who has ever had a bad day or a frustrating time with life? Who has something that is just eating at them, who has some problem that is so complicated and you don't know what to do? Who is exhausted from enduring a trial and you don't know where to turn?Find solace in the scriptures. Trials may take time to overcome, but at least in the scriptures, you can find peace for some small moment in your life.

The answer to what you need is so simple. Find solace in the scriptures. Trials may take time to overcome, but at least in the scriptures, you can find peace for some small moment in your life. And if it really is that simple, why not give it a try?

Just do it.

Have an action-packed day!

Time for another Mormon Message!

When I first saw this Mormon Message, and I think it's an older one, I cried. It reminded me so much of home, and of my family, and of course specifically, my youngest brother.

Family is so important to Heavenly Father. He loves us so much that He gives each of us our own, and what we make of our family is up to us.

Have an action-packed day!

When...?

When was the last time you needed more help in your day?

When was the last time you needed someone to be there for you? 

When was the last time you told someone all about how your day went?

When was the last time you felt incredibly blessed?

When was the last time youprayed?

"But behold. I say unto you that ye must pray always, and not faint, that ye must not perform any thing unto the Lord save in first place ye shall pray unto the Father in the name of Christ, that he will consecrate thy performance unto thee, that thy performance may e for the welfare of thy soul."  2 Nephi 32:9

Gallatin, Ho!

As of Tuesday afternoon, I am no longer serving on the south side of Nashville, but in Gallatin with Sister Anderson. That morning went smoothly... except for the ridiculous amounts of rain wherever we were. I have no idea why I even tried to do my hair at all...

One kind member from our ward picked up Sister Valentine, Sister Barnes, and myself to go to the church where we would meet and go our separate ways with our new companions. I love this sister so much! She even took us to a gourmet cupcake shop where we picked one for each of us, one for our new companion, and two for President and Sister McKee. She is so kind, and she also told us some excellent stories on the way to the church!
  We get to the church and a little while later I found Sister Anderson! I was so excited and I gave her a big hug. I am feeling ready and anxious to serve the people in Gallatin. I have heard so many good things about the area and the members that live there. I admit that I am a little sad to go, but I know that this calling I have is of the Lord and this is where He wants me to be. Another member from Gallatin drove Sister Anderson and me back to Gallatin where we got busy right away. Sister Anderson is so great to tell me all about everyone that they have been teaching and about where we will be working together for the next six weeks. The first family we visited I just fell in love with. They are not members of our church, but they are so kind hearted and Christian and I am excited to look for them on Sunday.
  We then did some basic grocery shopping during our dinner hour and then off to visit more people! It definitely is different than where I was before, but great things are going to happen here! There is so much work that we can do together, and so many opportunities we have for the Lord to bless us and His people. I cannot wait to go deeper and deeper into the work. So a new adventure begins!

Have an action-packed day!
