I Did It!

Yesterday I finished The Book Of Mormon again. This time around it took me a little longer than usual because I kept skipping around to my favorite chapters or verses when i should have kept reading straight through. Now that ive finished it, i dont have to read it again for another few years. :) I'm just joking. This past time when I read it, I read it with the question in my mind "how can I be a better wife and mother" This time around I'm not sure. I don't know how I want to study it this time. I'm not saying I mastered the previous attempt, I just want to try something different. So if any of you have some ideas, please share them with me! In fact if you read this post can you share with me what works for you? I would greatly appreciate it!:) I love The Book Of Mormon and God knows I need to read it daily in order to have the Holy spirit in my life. With out reading it i'm just a grumpy, cranky girl that no one wants to be around. Reading the Book of Mormon helps me to be a little bit more kind and loving to my family as well as my friends. I encourage everyone in the whole universe to read and ponder the words located in The Book Of Mormon. I love you all!

Juanita's Conversion Story

I feel that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the desire to play softball. The fact that the Lord was guiding me to play softball became more evident to me when I was offered a scholarship to play ball at BYU-Hawaii. The thought of attending BYU-Hawaii just seemed right and good at the time so I attended college there. My first year in college I was so excited to learn, play, and party. I discovered real soon that the students who attended the university had fun without drinking. I also discovered that the people were faithful and they had a strong sense of purpose and Identity. This compelled me to go on a spiritual search. I decided to take the lessons from the missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As I took the lessons I was taught things that I heard before and things that were new to me. Such as the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. These were things that were a challenge for me to believe. So I took these challenges up to the Lord and I asked him if the Book of Mormon is the word of God and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I'm so delighted to share with you that I do know that the Book of Mormon is true and that the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I know that it's true because of the power of the Holy Spirit, because of these truths and much more I decided to be baptized and serve the Lord. Getting baptized was the best decision I ever made. It's because of this choice that I enjoy the blessing of life today. The church is true and I find myself indebt to the Lord forever.
