It's Been 9 Years

Today makes 9 years that I have been baptized and confirmed a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints! and my dad thought I wouldn't make it this long. Probably because I once told him that I was serious about becoming a vegetarian and then 15 days later I ate COW! Thank you to everyone that has touched my life in one way or another. I'm experiencing real joy in my life and I attribute it to my loyalty to the church. I love you all!

P.s. I recently lost my camera so I haven't really been posting pictures up lately but I should be getting another camera shortly. Thanx to my brother in law Matthew, he's such a sweetheart! So no worries mom you'll see your grand baby soon:)

P.P.s. Thank you all for your excellent advice about the hair situation, I decided to go with the majority and cut it around the chest area. Which would be like 10 inches or more, wheew will see how it goes.

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.
