I'm going to General Conference!

Well it's official I'm going to General Conference this October.. I'm so excited because it's my first time even going to Utah and I'm going with some friends of mine. I told them it's my first time going to Utah and they said we'll go to all the cool places, Temple Square etc. I'm sooo excited!

I am in the 280's which is good, once I get to the 260's I'll send in mission papers, hopefully it doesn't feel long, I don't think it will. I lost 14 pounds last month.
So yeah.. sorry for not posting for awhile.

But we'll be leaving on Thursday (or Friday) and coming home on Monday, I can't wait hah it's going to be so much fun.. road trip!

Other then that and Operation Slim I have been working at the movie theater (Carmike) and it's going good so far.. it's just job training now and hopefully once that is over they will actually hire me.. if so then that'd be so great!

Look forward to seeing pictures of me at temple square, Conference center, and just in Utah haha

A great day.

Hey readers, today has been an amazing day

On the 8th of August I started the program, which I named Operation Slim
It is now the first day of September (Wow, time goes by fast) and I have lost 12 pounds so far in this Operation.

I think I'll be ready sometime in October to send in papers... we'll see

Today was fast Sunday and I wanted to bear my testimony, this was probably only the 3rd time I had done so in the branch.. and I been going for a year and 2 months.
Earlier in the week I wanted to start writing poems again, as it have been closed to a year without writing one.. so I asked a good friend of mine what subject I should write about, and she told me about God's timing. So on Saturday night I was writing.. and it was done and ready in the morning to go along with my testimony.

At testimony meeting I got up, bore my testimony on God's timing.. said I had wanted to go when I was 19 and now I'm 20, and I talked about that I started the program on the 8th and had lost 12 pounds so far. some other things and in closing I shared my poem.

*His timing*
My dear child, don't you worry
You're not ready, I know what is best
You are in such a hurry
But in my timing, you shall be blessed.

At this moment
You're still learning
In my time you'll have fulfillment
At this moment, you are yearning

My child, if only you can see
My ways are higher then your ways
Then you would agree
Wouldn't see this as delays

In my timing, greater joy awaits you
I'm guiding you for purposes unknown now
When the time comes, you'll be able to see anew
You'll know why and how.

My child, my thoughts are higher then yours
Trust in my timing, trust in Me
It may take years
But I foresee
**********

So yeah, hah people loved it three people went up and in their testimonies they talked about me
Greg asked if he could write down the poem for himself, and yeah.. today was just amazing.
Also Brother Haws said that I have a special spirit and that people felt that when I read my poem

Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it
