First Snowfall of 2008!!

So, today was the first snowfall of the season! I was so excited that even though it was Sunday I had to go out and play in it! By the time we got out there is was pretty melted but it was still fun to play with what was there! I can't wait for Winter to actually get here!

178th General Conference

General Conference is always a way exciting time for me! I get to listen to the 1st Presidency and the Quorum of the 12 Apostles and all of the other leaders that are asked to speak. This time I wrote down some questions that I had and they were answered! My testimony was so strengthened by the talks! I really needed to hear Elder Perry's talk! I love listening to the leaders of the church. It always testifies to me that the church is in good hands and I don't need to worry about it! But, of course I don't because it's the Lord's church and all of those Men and Women are following his counsel!
I am going to bear my testimony that I know this church is true without a shadow of a doubt. I know that Heavenly Father loves me and that he hears and answers my prayers! I know that in times of need he will always be there to comfort me! How great the day will be the day that I get to stand before him! I just hope and pray that he will be able to tell me you have done a good job my good and faithful servant! I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that he restored Christ's gospel for us in this the Latter-days! I am so grateful for all of my many blessings! I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

BYU Football

Tonight was a really good night! The BYU Football team does a fireside the night before each of their games. They play Utah State tomorrow and so, the fireside was the at the Ogden Tabernacle! It was amazing! There were 2 football players that spoke. There was a music number by like 8 of them. Then, all of the sang We"ll bring the world his truth! At the end Bronco and his wife both spoke! The spirit was really strong! It was really cool to see the football team work together! Good luck tomorrow guys!

Truly Blessed

School has started off pretty rocky for me. The past three weeks has been total stress trying to balance school, homework, tennis, and a life outside of those things but, it's only going to get worse because I'll be getting a job after tennis to help pay for an amazing experience to Washington D.C. with my History class! In spite of all of those things I have been trying really hard to keep a positive outlook on life and think of all my many blessings! For starters I live on this beautiful earth that amazes me more and more everyday! The fact that I am alive and healthy is another blessing. I have been truly blessed to know some amazing people and have amazing friends. I would like to make a tribute to some of the many people that have influenced my life this week: Anna, Heather and Amber are three very good friends and they are always there to listen to me and just talk! Melissa and Kamila and two of my very best friends and they are always there to listen to me complain and there to listen when I'm falling over laughing at myself and they're really good at giving encouragement! Braden is always there to listen as well as giving me encouragement and he is the best at making me laugh! Matt is like a big brother to me! He's always there listening to me vent and always listening to me talk about my boy troubles! He is good at giving advice and encouragement as well! Then, last but not least is my Seminary teacher Brother Bell! He is an amazing guy! He always knows what to say to make my day! He is just amazing! There is definitely to many to name right now! But, I would just like to say thanks to all of them!

Park City, UT

This weekend I went to Park City. It was really fun. We stayed at the Landmark Inn! We got there Friday night. On Saturday we went to the outlets and Main Street. I was really fun. We rode the bus to main street.

The last bus stop of the night! Yeah

The Trolley that goes up and down Main Street

I really like this statue

This is of people sledding! So much fun!

This is the coolest statue ever. If you can't tell it is a dead moose, an Indian, and a cougar.

This is the Alpine Slide from far away!

Me and the moose!

Me and the bear!

This was a really cool bench!
