Brothers and Sisters...

Please pray for Saints and non-members alike in Iceland as they face these difficult times...pray that they may maintain peace in freedom in that beautiful land of theirs as they ride through the storms of a financial crisis that has rocked us all in some way.

A Historic Day...

I just had to say something about this wonderfully important day for the lives of Americans. I had the privelige of seeing the ending parts of the inauguration speech and the benediction, as well as the anthem, and words can not describe the feeling I got and still have. Whether they were my emotions or the Spirit, or perhaps both, I do not know. All I know is that I am honored to be just a small part of this day and to see the first black president sworn into the United States of America. All political views aside, I am proud and honored to live in a country where this day could be seen. It brings me back to MLK's speech about the promised land...I am sure that somewhere in the realm of the spirit world he was there that day...I wouldn't be surprised if there was a tear in his eye. May God Bless America, and help Obama choose what is best for his country. I give him my prayers, even while understanding that I do not hold all his views, as I wouldn't think a president would hold all of the people's views in the first place. I wish him the best on what surely is a long journey ahead.

Wooh! What a day...I think I've gotten a little bit of that nationalistic fervor my AP Euro History teacher was talking about :)

Well, that's it for now. I wish all the best this week in give my regards!

OK, so I'm finally going to post again...

Well, for the second week in a row there has been no church due to inclement weather, so I decided to take this time to try and catch up a bit!

Things at Church have been going just wonderfully! Since the last time I made a blog (before December) there have been almost 10 people baptized in our ward! Truly, everyone in the ward is getting into the missionary spirit and the work is paying off...It is a great time to be a LDS youth in Georgetown!

The Elders have started to teach my mother again, and it has been such a special experience for us both as we went to Church together for the first time and both felt the Spirit so strongly. Somehow I believe that the Spirit is stronger when you are with your family because it binds you together. There has been such an outpouring of support from so many in the ward and I just wanted to thank all of you for everything you have done.

This new year truly went off to a good start...I was able to find out about and see part of a new program that the Church did for the youth, and it had youth from all over the world! It was truly and edifying moment as I saw what looked like thousands of youth in the Conference Center as well as from Germany, Spain, Africa, and so much more! There is a cool widget they have on the site www.ABrandNewYear.lds.org that can be found towards the bottom of this blog, be sure to check it out and check out the site!

As for things at home, all is going well it seems. I am in the process of finalizing my application for BYU-I and hoping/praying for the best! Well, I suppose that's it for today.

God Bless You All!

It's been a while!

Hi there everyone! Forgive for being away so long, but we currently dont have internet at home. I will try to catch up as soon as possible, but until then, may you all have a very Merry Christmas season, and don't forget that the true Spirit of Christmas is the Spirit of Christ!

What's Really Important in this Election...

I have listened these past few crazy months about all sorts of issues that people want the candidates to answer, and the ones that the politicians themselves find to be the most important. After really dwelling on all the things that have gone wrong in this country, and thinking about the future of this nation, I have decided there is one subject that I have heard nothing about in this election, and yet it is what I believe to be the most important thing for our future in mankind, never mind the election: the Children!

After joining the Church, I have been in awe at the power and strength of the youth, whether they be a mia maid in my ward or a kid in Primary! Never have I known such strong and truly amazing spirits as I do now. I also happen to run a site on myspace that serves to get younger artists out there, and have been struck in unbelief by the pure talent and integrity of such young artists and musicians. Surely, the children are the future! In whatever you choose as you vote on a plethora of issues today, please, do not forget that! I only hope that the new President will put an emphasis on making sure the children of this God-given country will be safe, and recieve all the things that are needful for them. They are the next presidents, doctors, and peacemakers. Let's make sure they have a chance to thrive!

God bless them, and God Bless those who serve them everyday. Kudos to you mothers, fathers, teachers, medical professionals, all of you!

"Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them not, FOR OF SUCH IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD."
