15

Today is November 21st, 2011. Also known as Jada's 15th birthday. She died five months ago today, but preceding death shouldn't impede any celebration of this glorious day. Fifteen years ago an angel was born into this world. Now she is back in the angelic world. Imagine the glorious celebration that might be going on right now. Come on, a birthday party in heaven would be pretty sweet right? Jada touched so many lives in so many ways, so on this day just remember how she touched your life. And use that as an inspiration to touch the lives of others. You never know if you'll be around in the future, but you always know you're here now. So use every moment to touch the life of someone else.

Mi Cumpleaños!

Wow, yesterday was a birthday I won't forget! It was actually a pretty great day. All my teachers and people in my district are so loving and kind. Hermana Doll gave me 6 of her famous home-made cookies, and those have been delicious. My morning teacher Hermana Jimenez wished me a happy birthday about 100 times. And it was one of the teacher's birthdays yesterday, so I got a slice of his cake! But something really out of the ordinary that happened on my birthday was that I got a new companion. That normally doesn't happen until a transfer date (every six weeks) so it was pretty strange. One of the elders in our district had to be moved from our district, so they split up my trio companionship and put me with the lone elder. My new companion's name is Elder Nolan, and he is a great guy. He knew literally no Spanish before coming here, and has progressed a lot. He has a strong testimony, and I am excited to be working with him! I will miss working with Elder Waters and El

Conference

Hey remember this post post about changing your life? If you don't you better read it! Anyway, I was serious in that post. If you're not completely happy with your life, sit down right now and write ten ways to improve your life. That's what I did! But this brings up the question, how do I change my life? There's this program at Church where we learn things then we act upon them. So start by learning what you need to do. The ability to change your life probably isn't found in a textbook, but it can be found from men and women who are very close to God. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka Mormon) has many men and women like this, and they speak to the members of the Church twice a year for one weekend. Their messages are inspired directly from God himself. The words radiate with power and joy. Even if you're not a Mormon, try to listen to some of these speakers. Whether you believe they are Prophets and Apostles or not, they still have a sensibl

The World Today

Everywhere you ever look today, the world is changing. Where many sins were shunned and horrific, they are right before our eyes today. Sin and squalor are all around at almost all angles. At some times, one can feel as if there is no hope and we are consigned to the woe around us, but that is not true. The truth is that the rising generation is the hope. We can be the best we want to be and make this world a better place. Think of your friends, your family, your potential, who you can become. Never give up hope, that is the one thing that is constant. Life can get better, but it's up to us. Sorry for rambling, I just felt like I needed to say this. “Why do we need such resilient faith? Because difficult days are ahead. Rarely in the future will it be easy or popular to be a faithful Latter-day Saint. Each of us will be tested. … Strength comes when you remember that you have a divine nature, an inheritance of infinite worth.” —Elder Russell M. Nelson
