Happy Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we went to my dear friend Jen's family house. It was so fun. I felt comfortable and at home. Not to mention the food was AWESOME. Surprisingly I didn't stuff myself to the point of passing out on the couch this year. Probably because I don't have to much room and I would have a bad case of heartburn. Anyhow it was a delight! There are many things I'm grateful for but to save room I'll just name 5.

1. I'm grateful for the Grace that God extends my family each day
2. I'm grateful for the good health of my family
3. I'm grateful for the knowledge that God has given me
4. I'm grateful for my relationship with God and his son Jesus Christ
5. I'm grateful for my relationship with Mark & Eve.

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.
