Kaaawa Trail 5k run

I ran the Kaaawa trail run this past Saturday morning. It was absolutely gorgeous! I love trail runs! I was running in this beautiful valley passing tropical fruit and cows. I hadn't run in ages so I knew if I had stopped to pull up my sock or adjust it I wouldn't start up again. As a result when I finished the race my sock was all bloody and I was in pain. Even though it still hurts today, I'm glad I didn't stop.

These were just some of the views

I was so proud of myself that I went crazy with the camera. My face was so red, sweaty and I swear steam was being released from my pores. Yeah me for waking up at 6 in the morning with 5 hours asleep to drive an hour to run a 5k. I swear I get desperate some days just to be by myself.

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.
