Intense Couple of Days

I'm the type of person that has to plan on something before doing it. So what abound as we got to Utah turn my world upside down. While Mark was driving across country I stayed with the lovely Johnson family. It was so fun living with them for a few days. As I was conversing with Mark while he was driving he suggested that I should call and schedule an appointment to meet with the manager about our apartment. So I did, and discovered that they had AcCiDenTally gave our apartment away and still drew over a thousand dollars from our account. To put it lightly I was very HOT on the phone. Mark got to Utah in a day and a half and spent the rest of our days just looking for a place to live. This was very tiring and stressful. A real TrIaL of our faith. At least for me anyway. To make a long stressful & bothersome story short we FOUND a place in Orem, and it worked out so well. As if the Lord really wanted us here. He was probably looking down from heaven saying "Juanita stop your murmuring I need you here and not there". So my loved ones when we sing the song I'll Go Where You Want Me To Go really mean what you say. Something I'm STILL learning about.

Eve loved living with the Johnson's for a few days because she had friends. I love watching her play with Kainoa and Kiera. She gets so happy.

Taking a break from the stress of finding a place to live. We decided to go to Jamba Juice. This is Eve's first time drinking Jamba Juice. We got her an all fruit smoothy. She LOVED it!

We went to visit Ryan's mission buddy and they had this unique swing in their back yard. Eve could have stayed in there for hours. She was so calm in there and dang she looked so cute, but funny at the same time.

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.
