http://lookingsteadfastlytowardsheaven.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Looking Steadfastly Towards Heaven. Monday, November 4, 2013. I considered naming this post "A Final Testimony" but I realized that just because my time as a full time missionary is nearly over, I will never stop sharing my testimony of what I know to be true. I know through the power of the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon. Is true. That book has the power to change lives. It has changed mine. I know that Joseph Smith. The true Church of Jesus Christ. I know that Jesus Christ. Also read verses 22-24.

Looking Steadfastly Towards Heaven: Worn Out in the Service of God
http://lookingsteadfastlytowardsheaven.blogspot.com/2013/11/worn-out-in-service-of-god.html
Looking Steadfastly Towards Heaven. Saturday, November 2, 2013. Worn Out in the Service of God. It was exciting to have a new pair of shoes to walk around in. I no longer had to worry about my feet getting soaked when it was raining outside because for some reason holes in the bottom of your shoes have a way of letting water in. And I found that the new pair of shoes was much better on my back. But you quickly get a reality check. Living the gospel of Jesus Christ requires a lot of us. In fact, i...Givin...

Looking Steadfastly Towards Heaven. Saturday, April 27, 2013. Living After the Manner of Happiness: Reading. I am an avid reader. At times I'm even an obsessive reader (trust me - if you were to ask me how many times I've read the Harry Potter books, it would be very clear to you that I have a problem). I have found great happiness in my life through reading. Fantasy, romance, historical fiction, biographical, motivational- I love reading it all. I realized in that moment that I was choosing to be misera...

Looking Steadfastly Towards Heaven. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. We Value People (part 4). My family motto continues on by teaching us about three guideposts we can follow in our lives so that we can someday return to live with our Heavenly Follow. These three guides are prophets, the prinicples of the gospel, and the promises we make with God. To read what the living prophet, Thomas S. Monson, shared just a few weeks ago.). Is a basic doctrine, truth, or law. In the fourth Article of Faith. We can be co...

Looking Steadfastly Towards Heaven. Saturday, September 28, 2013. Living After the Manner of Happiness: Goals. Alright y'all this is the last post for my series "Living After the Manner of Happiness." I would like to think this blog series has been instructive and inspiring, but at the very least I hope it has been relatively interesting. For this last post I will be talking about goals. Why are goals important? How does setting a goal and achieving it bring happiness into our lives? Our ultimate goal sh...

Looking Steadfastly Towards Heaven. Friday, November 1, 2013. We Value People (part 6). The final part of my family motto talks about what our ultimate goal is: eternal life. Through empathy for others and enduring to the end, despite our struggles, we can receive exaltation and eternal life. Empathy comes from charity, the pure love of Christ. If our goal is to live with our Father in Heaven again we must be filled with charity. Enduring to the end. For us is to gain a body and have experiences so that ...

Encontrando Gozo en el Trayecto. Hay gozo en todas las cosas con Jesucristo. Mis discursos preferidos de los profetas. La Familia: Una Proclamación para el Mundo. Saturday, October 26, 2013. There is opposition in all things; but why? Have you ever made a decision and felt really good about it? Not necessarily something you have acted on yet but you made the choice that you are going to go for it. Then, all of the sudden, BAM! I'm pretty sure we have all been there! Why does it happen? When I moved to Ut...

What Mormons Believe; Article of Faith #1. There are a lot of preconceived notions about "Mormons" concerning what we believe, what we do, who we are. I want to clearly state the beliefs that we do have that are true! I've been told that if you want to know what a Mormon believes, you should ask a Mormon. At first g...

http://lookingsteadfastlytowardsheaven.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Looking Steadfastly Towards Heaven. Saturday, July 27, 2013. One day when I was serving in Mayfield, KY my companion and I had a day that was a complete bust. Either no one was home, didn't have time for the missionaries, or straight up ignored our knocking. Needless to say we were feeling a little discouraged, but we had decided to try to meet some people who had formerly been taught by missionaries. I've had times on my mission when I've felt like I did that day. All I wanted to do was give up and ...
