So lately I have
been trying really hard to write in my journal and to keep a study journal during
personal study time, and I realized something - the more revelation we write
down the more revelation we are going to get. I was thinking about it
yesterday, how II feel like I have found more answers to prays lately and I
have received so much more knowledge in the gospel and I was trying to figure
out why and it hit me.Someone once told me "revelation not written down is
revelation lost" so in that moment I realized that the reason I was
receiving more answers and more knowledge was because now I was willing to
write it down. So, all in all I wanted to challenge each one of you to keep a
journal. To keep a study journal and a regular journal. So that you can show
Heavenly Father how willing you are to listen to Him and the things He wants to
tell you.
Think about the
Prophets of the Book of Mormon or even the Prophets in the Bible. What would
have happened if they didn't write in their journal? Then today we wouldn't
have scripture. So especially if you don't feel like you are receiving answers
keep a journal and show your Father in Heaven that you really want to know.
Love ya'll!

MIRACLE!!
So crazy cool
miracle!! In another ward in our Stake there was a man who used to be a Baptist
preacher and a Sagebrush (a mega church here in ABQ) Minister who was getting
baptized and Sister King and I wanted more than anything to go to this baptism
to hear his testimony. The rule is that if it's not your baptism you need to
bring a Less Active Member or an investigator or a recent convert. So as we were
waiting for our recent convert to come to the baptism we were outside standing
by the curb looking for her car when all of a sudden a car drove up. We were
expecting to see our member but instead a girl named Tyler, rolled down her
window and asked if services were going on and if she could come. We told her
that there was a baptism and she was more than welcome to come. She quickly
parked her car and got out. She told us that she was coming home from work and
saw cars in the parking lot and was so excited. She had tried coming to the
church a couple of weeks ago but no one was there and the doors were locked.
But she wanted so badly to come. During the baptism she was so engaged and
loved every moment. Especially when Jeremy, bore his testimony. She told us
that she felt something so different here and wanted to continue to feel it.
She told us that she would willingly do anything that her Father in Heaven
directs her to. She truly is amazing, and loves her Father in Heaven so much.
After the baptism she got to walk around with us and talk to some members and
hear their conversion stories and she was loving ever minute of it! It was so
incredible!! Then she got to meet with the YSA elders too!! Heavenly Father
really does know his children and knows where they are and what they need.(:
