YW lesson
Today in Young Womens I taught the lesson. It wasn't as bad ad I thought it would be. It was so easy! Especially when compared with teaching boyscouts. My lesson was on drawing closer to Christ. I hope I got the message across. I truely think the lesson was more for me than anyone there. I learned more teaching it than they did from me.

Snow Prayer
Today I woke up really early for papers. I was still pretty late because of all the snow and ice.
....and the fact that I got the car stuck in a pile of snow at the end of a drive way. It was Aweful! But I finally got smart and said a prayer. It took a very short time after that. Then today, when I was trying to drive home after school, my car wouldn't move because of snow again. This time I said a prayer straight off. I Love having a loving Father who is looking after me.

John Bytheway
I went to a John Bytheway fireside with Jello, John, and Elise on Sunday. It was Soo inspiring. He spoke about choice and accountability, modesty, keeping your standards, and a few other things. He was absolutely amazing. He's got a bunch of material on the market. I'm going to get some! He really made me think. And it was nice to be with Jello too!
I'm so grateful that everyone has different talants. Heavenly Father definately gave him the gift of inspirational gab!

My Testimony
On Friday, I challenged my seminary class to share their testimonies with someone, so I guess I'd better take my own challenge.
I really struggled when I was younger with knowing whether or not I had a testimony. I couldn't conciously accept what I already knew in my heart. I think I struggled because I didn't have any sense of self worth. I didn't see how there could be a God of Everything who could still love Me.
For Myself.
It took alot of time and a few Very patient friends, but now I can say I Know my Father in Heaven loves me. I know that he exists. I know that Joseph Smith was called by him to restore His true church upon the earth.
I know that Christ is His son. He is my older brother, my supreme example, my role model, my Savior and King. He made it possible for me to attain celestial glory. He loves me So much that he was willing to bear my pains. I'm so Grateful to Him. I love my Savior with all my heart.
I have a testimony of Gratitude. I didn't fully realize how thankful I am for some things and some people until Brother Read challenged us to say thank you to some specific people in our lives. I love writing thank you notes to people! Showing gratitude invites the spirit to be in your life. It opens you up to more blessings.
I also know that the Lord hears and answers prayers. He has helped me through So much in my life. I'm grateful for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. I'm so haapy to be a member of God's true church. It has blessed my life in countless ways. And I'm thankful for my seminary teacher and class.

Passover
Friday in seminary we had our Passover lesson.
I'd never fully appreciated the Savior's sacrifice. My teacher is absolutely amazing.
NTS: Remember
slip of paper - 201 - sins
Brigitta - zero
Rachel - wants out
Sledge hammer + Log - judgement
Door way-portal- passover
rubber band - remember
Jello - Cried (I'm so glad I wasn't the only one)
I am responsible. There is a leather strap with my name in bold cursive.
I have to give up my paper, or it was in Vain.
