My Pledge Today & Forever

Tears are streaming down my face as I watched and heard the many stories of children dying because someone was talking on their cellphone. Or the mother or father who died and didn't make it home to their children because someone was texting while driving. It breaks my heart to hear these tragic stories. It's a STUPID thing to do! Talking and or texting while driving is equivalent of having 4 beers and driving. The percentage increases by 80% that you are likely to get into an accident. The call can WAIT! That text can WAIT! I have precious cargo in my car and I want to LIVE! I want my family to LIVE! I want YOU to LIVE!

HERE ON OUT,I PLEDGE NOT TO TALK OR TEXT WHILE I'M DRIVING!

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.
