Finally Together

It's hard to begin a post about Christmas and how extremely blessed I feel. I feel overwhelmed, I feel rich, I feel happy, I feel at peace, I feel complete, I feel absolutely wonderful. Someday soon I'll go in detail as to why but as for now Merry Christmas! I hope you had fun with your families and drew closer to Christ.

12 More Days

12 more days and it's Christmas for me! Mark will finally be here! Holy crap I'm super excited to see and have my husband back in my life. These past few weeks I just feel like Heavenly Father has been answering my prayers. Hope has been restored in my life and I'm extremely grateful. These next 2 weeks will be hard but after that I will have a week off from school and boy I so need it. Finish strong Juanita, I know you can do it! Wish everyone peace, joy & love this day, week, month & year.

With Aloha, Nita

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.
