Enjoy every second of your life!!

We've heard it many times... Remember who you are, Make GOOD choices, and if you can't feel the spirit --LEAVE! We must walk differently and act differently. Be an example and accept that challenge. Be steadfast and immovable.

"I can do all things in Christ which strengtheneth me." The world will change when we live by example. Take a step back and remember what matters most in your life. Ponder His influence and learn to Forgive your enemies. Feel a sincere gratitude and draw closer to your family and the gospel.

"When we have problems do we take it straight to Jesus or do we stop and post it on Facebook?" This quote was actually said during sacrament by one of the speakers. Ponder it.

This week I learned something really important that I had to accept. Am I in Salt Lake to work or to go to school? It was one of the hardest decisions I've made letting go of one of my shifts because I loved working at the North Office Building. It was fun, quick, and easy. Time went by fast and I knew I was doing it for our Savior. I don't even think of my job as a JOB, most times I think of it as a SERVICE just like cleaning the stake center is volunteering your precious time that you could be sleeping in. I thought of it this way; at least I get to take a nap before going to my later shift now, at least I get to do my homework diligently so I can turn it in on time, and lastly, at least I can attend Family Home Evening and be able to have fun with my new and old friends and not feel that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing. It's a blessing!

The past few days and weeks I've only been thinking about what it would feel like to be sealed next year to my family in the Oakland Temple... I think I've dreamed about this more lately and it's a really good feeling. I love my family so much that I'd do anything and everything for them. I don't say it often but they know how much I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE of them.

The next few days I will be back in California again and I can't wait to do baptisms for the dead this Saturday at the Oakland temple. It's been more than two years since I've done it there.

Have a great rest of the week and I will update with pictures :)

Even through the hardest times of your life, try to enjoy every second of your life!!

Love Always,
Trish
