I decided to pick up this blog again. I thought I'd post some quotes I found that are amazing!
"Scriptures that are falling apart usually belong to people who aren't." -Unknown. (SO TRUE ABOUT ME!)
"Stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight." -Gordon B. Hinckley.
"The first, the middle and the last thing to do is pray." -Henry B. Eyring.
"We truly need Him every hour whether they be hours of sunshine or rain." -Thomas S. Monson.
"Smile more than you cry, give more than you take and love more than you hate." -Unknown.
"Surround yourself with the dreams and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see greatness within you."
"Happiness keeps you sweet. Trials keep you strong. Sorrows keep you human. Failures keep you humble. And God keeps you going." -unknown.
"I don't want a perfect person. I just want someone to act silly with, someone who treats me well and loves being with me more than anything." -unknown.
"Listen to your own voice, your own soul, too many people listen to the noise of the world, instead of themselves." - unknown.
"Listen to your heart, you will understand." -Grandmother Willow, Disney Pocahontas.
"No matter how many times I get hurt because of you, I won't leave you. Because even if I have a hundred reasons to leave you, I'll look for that one reason to fight for you." -unknown.
"There is always a Shade the Dark cannot master." -Me. (No one can copy you just as dark cannot be light, no one can be you.)
"The past is history, the future is a mystery. The present is a gift. That's why it's called the present." -Master Oogway, Kung Fu Panda.

Topical study: Faith
So, first off, I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, I've made it a new goal to try and get a post in at least once a week. Second of all, I'm starting a topical study journal. I'll be studying topics and I am starting with faith as that was the topic for my talk (never got to speak as I was sick, and still am :-( ) and now I'll start
I haven't finished this page, so I'll update it as I finish it, but here's what I got so far....
What is Faith?
Read--> Hebrews 11:1="Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Read-->Alma 32:21="And now as I said concerning faith-faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."
Read-->Alma 32:17-18="Yea, there are many who do say: if thou wil show unto us a sighn from hevan, then we shall believ. Now I ask, is this faith? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for if a man knoweth a thing he hath no cause to believe, for he knoweth it."
Think-->"Faith is a priniciple of action and power. Whenever you work toward a worth goal, you exercise faith. You show your hope for something that you cannot yet see." (Faith, True to the Faith.)
Think-->Faith is a hope. Not a belief, a knowledge.
Read/Listen-->"The Faith to Move Mountains" (Gordon B. Hinckley, October 2006 General Conference {Here's the link:http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2006/10/the-faith-to-move-mountains?lang=eng})
Think-->Brigham Young and Christopher Columbus are alike. Both led people to new lands that were unknown of, and were both led by God.
Think-->Joseph Smith had A LOT of faith as he went through trials and helped restore the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He and Emma had a lot of faith as they were injured and ridiculed by mobs, even worse, Emma's family rejected her for a while. B
Think--> Brigham Young, a new prophet, led ALL the saints willing to come to the Salt Lake Valley. Each pioneer went forward with faith. Each prophet has seen proof that members have faith as things have happened.
Think-->The Willie Handcart went through snow and were late. Mary Goble Pay, one of Gordon B. Hinckley's wife, and my ancestors. The Willie Handcart Company had it VERY rough. They started late, some were frozen to death, some were starved to death. Franklin Richards helped the Willie Handcart Company. When Brigham Young received note of the Willie Handcart Company, he sent aid to the Willie company. They were brought back and those who survived were grateful. Brigham Young sent mule teams, he sent horses and mules as oxen are SLOW and wouldn't help out the company very much. Brigham also sent lots of food such as wheat and flour. Two Hundred saints in the company died, but one thousand lived. Think-->Mary Goble Pay had frozen feet, but was given a blessing by Brigham Young and only her toes needed be amputated. (She had immense faith to wait until Brigham Young gave her a blessing)
Think-->Faith can be demonstrated in "small, but significat events"

Young Womens class, Sunday, July 21st, 2013.
The theme of this month is Ordinances and Covenants. The Bishop came in today and we discussed with him and Sister Skeem, the teacher for today, about what we had learned. We discussed what covenants we make at baptism. The list I made is:
Covenants we Made at Baptism
~To always remember Him (Being Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father)
~To keep His commandments
~To take His name upon ourselves
Every Sunday in Sacrament we renew our covenants we made and strive to keep them forever. Sacrament is also a time to ask Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for forgiveness for all the sins you have made since the last time you partook of the sacrament.

Hi, This is about me, the Mormon Teenager
Hi, this page is about me. In reference to me, I'll always say the "Mormon Teenager". Though, I am only thirteen, so this blog should last a few years, or more. So, some about me: I love reading the scriptures, I love teaching, I love attending Sunday School and other church classes and activities. I have three cats and one dog and "I am a Mormon. I know it, I live it, I love it." (Quote by Sister Ann M. Dibbs) So, I don't have very much to say on my about page except that I love being a mormon, I love my family, I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, and I love my friends (including pets. My friends and I are "sisters")
