Orem Youth Council

AAH! I just had my interview for the Orem Youth Council. It will be an amazing opportunity for me.... if I make it in. The last four things I tried out for never really worked (The Talent show, Into the Woods, student council, and the musical review,) so I am hoping the cosmos are now in my favor. PLEASE LET ME IN!!

Oh i Just can't wait to Die

Teresa and I are heading off to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple
this morning to do baptisms. I also went last Wednesday with
the girls in my ward. I have found that when I go to the
temple as soon as I leave it's doors I am Planning my next trip.
It is just so addicting. And now I know why.

There are many reasons, like the sweet little ladies
dressed in white, the beauty of the temple, or maybe
it's the feeling you get when you realize you are helping
your spirit brothers and sisters. But for me it's what the
temple reminds me of. My heavenly home.

Every one there is dressed in pure white. They are all
glowing and smiling. You feel so close to heavenly
father it's hard to breath. I can feel his celestial glory
everywhere. AND IT IS SO PEACEFUL!
Going to the temple helps me see why
making it to the celestial kingdom really is so important.
Because I am going to LOVE it there.

This week's young women's lesson was on the temple.
It's the lesson I look forward to every year. The teacher
asked us to close are eyes, picture a place glorious and
beautiful. Then Picture all your family standing there,
and all the prophet's from Adam to Thomas S. Monson.
Then picture Your loving Heavenly Father and the Savior,
Jesus Christ smiling at you.
(I suggest you try this exercises, good feelings are guaranteed.)

Can we Just say WOW! Why would I want be anywhere
else than there. I WOULDN'T!!

If You're on the Road I would get off

CUZ HERE I COME!!

Actually I am not out there yet but, I finally
disciplined myself to sit down with a highlighter,
pencil, and a stack of papers to take notes.
However, After about a half an hour

of pure teenage brain torture, I could no longer
handle memorizing useless information. (like
the legal definition of a FARM TRACTOR!!)* So
I am calling out to all of you license holders.
How did YOU learn all these facts? Please give
me some ideas, or else I'll be burnt toast when
it comes to taking the permit test.

*Farm Tractor- every self propelled vehicle
designed and used primarily as a farm implement
of husbandry (whatever that means!)
