2009-10-03T01:24:00.000-07:00

i am so excited to go on my mission. like, i really feel strong this is what i need to do. i have had speculation about going on this mission but i truely know its what the Lord wants of me. there are people in Buenos Aires and where ever my mission covers that are waiting to hear the gospel and i will be able to help them understand the happiness that our Savior Jesus Christ wants us to know. i was just reading my friends blog. she is on her mission somewhere in the mid west or something and everytime i read it i am filled with the Spirit of the Lord. happiness always comes along. its likes a 2 for 1 deal, you cant get one without the other! hahahahahahha i am soooo using that in my farewell talk lol. by now if i actually wrote all those sayings down, i would have like a full page of things to say, just on random quotes, to talk about at my farewell lol. in the wise words of that samoan or tongan guy from "the other side of heaven",

HURRAH FOR ISREAL! that is soooo going at the end of every message lol.

disturbing...

2009-08-19T12:30:00.000-07:00

so right now im watching one of the religious history shows on the history channel. I find some of these teachings to be very sketchy. One thing that really bothered me was how they are interpreting Jesus Christ. Two of the religious professors, one from prinston and the other from somewhere else, said that Jesus failed his mission the first time he came to the world. iono but i got a little angry. that TOTAL false doctrine! if they really look deep into the teachings of the new testiment and nothing else, the basic doctrine you will see is that Jesus Christ bleed from every pore. He atoned for our sins. THAT was his mission to the earth. To that extra hand that we needed to be lifted up to live with our Heavenly Father again. If he never did that, then He would have failed, but as we can see, HE DIDN'T! LOL i find that these professors, of major university's, to be teaching false docterine. Like if we are teaching false doctrines in our colleges, you are leading people astray. People follow by example, and they are giving false doctrine to students who will soak up that knowledge like a sponge. Now, being LDS and understanding the Plan of Salvation, gives us a better idea to why we are hear, what the Savior did for us, and so forth. I want to be a religion professor one day, and i hope that when i am able to teach people, i will be able to give a reliable and truthful synopsis on what each religion entitles and how we all benefit from each of their teachings. Unfortunately, will little knowledge to what the true gospel entitles, people misread and misinterpret the Bible's teaching. O when the time will come when all will know of the glory that our Heavenly Father has planned for us since the beginning of time.

i am living proof that prayer works!

2009-08-17T18:22:00.001-07:00

today, oooo goodness. was a day to talk about. ooooookkkkkkk. soooo i woke up and today was the start of me taking jerret to school. i get him ready and out of the door and i start the car and it was like "ehh i really dont feel like starting for you today" mode and i was like oooo gosh here we go again lol. so then i finially get it going and i take jerret to school. drop him off and on my way back to jerret and jamies i stop at this new bagel shop and i was way excited cause i havnt had bagels in a while. soooo i get my egg, cheese and bacon sandwhich on an asiago cheese bagel, sooo good. then i go and start my car and it just clicks. im like, CRAP! then after a couple times, i decide, HELLO! why dont i pray and then go from there. so i bow my head and pray and ask Heavenly Father to help me start the car or to help me figure out what i should do. Then i call my mom and am like... MOM the car wont start lol. then after about 10 min on the phone and many failed attemps later, i call AAA. they send a guy and we thought it was the battery then they guy comes with the cables and that wasnt it. he did something iono, but he started the car like 100 times and got it going. then i was afraid to turn the car off again lol so i called jeremy and krista and went to rancho to get it checked out. so krista and i drop the car off at this shop which is packed with cars, some even with busted windows, as i plainly saw in the 90's buick window where i parked next too lol. so i go back to jeremy and kristas for a bit and i had to pick jerret up from school at 1:52 and it was like almost 1:00 and we call the dealership and they tell us that they havnt even looked at the car. i was like... crap! that meant that i was gunna have to drive jerret and jamies honda civic, which is stick shift, and i never got stick shift down. i was like freakin out a bit. i dont like stick and i feel like i am gunna die, expecially on hills lol. and HELLO FOLSOM!!!! lol. so im like oookkkk.... jeremy and i go out and he refreshes my memory on how to drive stick since its been a bit since i drove stick. i drop jeremy off and say another prayer helping me get to pick up jerret safely and I TOTALLY DID! for real! it was by the grace of God that that happened and nothing else. i totally was freaked out of my mind to drive on the roads, which i never droven on before and EVEN THE FREEWAY! but i felt like i kindof knew what i was doing today. really weird like, i felt i have been driving alot longer than what i have practiced with a stick, if that makes sence. i know it was only because Heavenly Father helped me and made me feel confident about what was happeneing. im still a little nervous and i think the like 4 poeple who were behind me when i stalled and almost backed into their cars today feel the same way hahaha.

moral of the story...
prayer does work lol to sum that big paragraph up lol

decisions...

2009-07-30T01:08:00.001-07:00

last night i was up til like 2 trying to decide stuff like what i want to do with my life after my mission. yes mr. prior planning over here. thank you griv and asb hahahahahahahaha. so i was thinking about what i am going to be doing when i get back from my mission. i get back in october so i will work. then i go to school. well the plan is to try to get into the Jerusalem Center and go there for a semester. that will leave me at spring ... 12? ... yeah. so from there i would finish school up and by fall 14 or maybe sooner if i stay in the spring. iono. once i have my degree, and for the time being this is my plan, i will get a job doing seminary and teach for a while while getting my masters. once there i wanted to move up to institute. and once i got my pH.d, i would try to get in at a college, byu maybe, dont care. ta dah. marry. have babies. die. ta dah! life planned out hahah. weeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. i was thinkin last night about switching schools when i got back. dont get me wrong, i love BYUI but for some reason i just dont feel like i am being prepared for grad school. like i think its good to get ur 4 year and done but no more. i feel like its TOO high school like and because of that, it will end up being harder for me once i get into grad school. im getting my pH.d in something, thats been a life long goal, dont get me wrong. but i have been thinkin about transfering to BYU. ive thought about it since i decided to go to bYUi, and i didnt get excepted to provo haha. but iono. i have ties with byui that i know i wont have at bYU. i am gunna do activities if i go to byu and if i will stay but i get tution paid for once i get high enough in the ranks at byui. thats a plus. but i get the names sake of saying i went to byu. eventhough i just say i am right now hahaha. cause who knows that there are 3 byu's if ur not lds hahahah. if i transfer my major will be Ancient Near Eastern Studies. im still sticking to my goal of becoming a religion teacher/professor/whatever. ahhh iono. decisions decisions decisions. i know its a long time away but its either i figure it out now or i have to deal with it in the back of my mind til the end of my mission. ooooo life. throughing those curve balls...

2009-07-29T13:24:00.000-07:00

sooooo right now im in good old yucca valley with my parents in sothern california. its hot. it sucks but its all good. i havnt seen them in a while and we drove down 2 days ago with little jerret, me, my mom and my dad. we decided to take 2 cars down here because my dad would take one to work and we would keep one here to do stuff. yeah. i drove with my dad all the way down to barstow, to see my grandad, in a non air conditioning car. it was miserable. i have been used to driving with no air conditioning but for long periods of time, yeahhhh not feeling it lol. my dad and i went all ghetto and when we filled up for gas we got one of those black trash bags and filled it with ice and hey its ghettooooo but we were sumwhat cool! lol. but other than that the trip was fun. we stoped in barstow to see my grandad at the veterans home there. we ate with him for dinner and lol i think it was missionary night cause ALLLLLLLL the missionaries from the town were there having dinner and talking to peoeple. lol including the senior couple of the area haha. ironic. i found out afterwards they were having family home evening lol. its kindof sad to see some of those poeple there have no family to come and visit them. my parents go through there alot to see my grandad whenever they go up to sac or come home. im just glad that i got the oppertunity to see him again. i swear i think im in good standing for a while with both of my grandparents blood on my moms side because doctors still dont know how they are alive and they are awestruck by how many medical obsticles they have overcame lol. but besides that im at my parents doing nothin much. we are going to LegoLand on fri i think and we are going to san diego to go to the beach too soo way exciting news! then next week, its back to the grind again for about 2 months!

2009-07-22T23:24:00.000-07:00

virus...

2009-07-18T20:51:00.000-07:00

ok so yesterday i was on facebook playing a game on my sisters account and all of a sudden the page transfers me to somewhere else and starts telling me that i have encountered a virus and im like OOOO NOOO! LOL the only sketchy thing was that this was still telling me this on the internet andddd it tried to make me download something and im like OOOOO NO! so i clicked off and started my virus scanner on my comp and during the quick check it didnt enounter anything and now i just did another full detailed check and nothing came up soooooo thank goodness! ok thats it!

new major....

2009-06-30T00:56:00.000-07:00

ok so its now 12 54 and im writing this in my sisters front room while my mom is sleeping on the couch right in front of me lol. So basically this is whats up. for a bit now i have been debating if i really wanted to pursue the bio field, because, tech i still am a bio major. everyone always asks me if i am doing med stuff and im like NO. i know crazy me huh lol. but i dont feel like that is the field that i am suppose to pursue. well lately i have been just thinkin that i dont really care what i am going to be when i grow up because i have 2 years to figure that out while i am on my mission. usually people have opifinays while on their missions so y cant i? lol. buutt anyone who knows me, knows that when i find something exciting to do that will cause for some planning, ill do it even if its just a probability that i will actually end up doing it in the future. lol. ex: my temple trip across the US. well ive did it again. i decided that i am going to switch my major to History with a minor in Philosophy. kindof opposite i know lol but what i have always found interesting is religion. not just being lds and preaching etc etc, but how the world reacts to different religions and how we all are changed by what happenes within its followers etc etc. well i want to teach. i want to teach college, weither that may be in the CES system or not, i dont care. but after i am done with my degree i want to go to grad school and get my pH.D in Religious Studies. now thats a different post and finding colleges lol but yeah. thats my plan now. maybe it will change iono but for the time being, i have already done a 4 year plan if i am to switch my major lol. the only problem right now is that i will finish in 4 years but with BYU-I, they only allow you to take up to 140 credits and then they tell you you have to finish ur schooling at another college. i am at 135 but i want to take piano lessons to learn how to play which would put me at 141... hmm... i guess the councilor is going to have fun with me lol. oooo how i like to make myself an exection to rules. first, ASB now, getting more religion classes and maybe going over the limit lol. we shall see...

the Jerusalem center...

2009-06-23T00:16:00.000-07:00

for a long time now, like since my junior year in high school, i have wanted, wait not the right word, i have felt the need to go to the Jerusalem center. For all of you who dont know what im talking about, BYU has a center, on Mount Scopus overlooking Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives. such an amazing place is only open to full time students, and other requirements, who go to one of the BYU's. well i kindof fall into that category lol. the thought of even walking in the same places where soooooooooo much of the worlds history has happen is beyond words, and even better, its the place where the Savior walked. how freaking awesome and sacred is that! beyond! i know! well, as you know, i am still waiting for my mission call to come and i was looking up stuff on the byui homepage when i thought, how much is it for the Jerusalem center? well i go and when the homepage pops up i read this...

Notice

There are a limited number of positions still available on the 2009 Fall Semester Program. Applications will be considered on a space-available basis and in the order they are received.

i was like OMGOSH!!!!! WHHHYYYYYY!!!!!!!! omgosh well... ok funny and ironic thing about this, its now 12 25 and i was going to go to bed when i thought to look this up real quick and i felt The Spirit telling me to go to bed and not to get on my comp. i know, not very pre-missionary of me, but then this is what i think the Spirit wanted me not to see hahahah. ooooo goodness. now i will moan about this for a couple days lol.

my brand new postS and my wait for my papers...

2009-06-22T02:21:00.000-07:00

sooo ta dah! i thought i would update you on a few things been going on in my life. nothing toooo exciting or anything. u know, no lotto winning for me or anything. but right now i am just chillin. i am living in folsom, ca which, for any of you who dont know where that is, its just east of sacramento. im living with my sister in law and nephew and watching my nephew while i am home for the summer and before i leave for the mission. its been really fun bonding with him. that kid is so crazy smart and athletic lol, sometimes i think Heavenly Father gave him a permanent on switch that most kids dont have lol. but i dont mind i love him. i am kindof missing rexburg, yes, yes, it is true, i do miss that town. well... the college, not rexburg lol. there is a difference lol. i miss my friends and the social atmosphere of doing whatever, whenever and everyone being within walking distance of you lol. ooo i miss activities and my service activities buddies... good times. good times. but i am even more excited about what i will be doing for the next 2 years of my life coming up soon. i am so excited that i get the opportunity to go out and serve my Heavenly Father by going on a mission and preaching the gospel to people who have not been able to fully hear it. i am soooo grateful for the blessing it had brought to my life and i cant wait to show others how they too can have that same love and fullness. my papers r turned in but still no word on if they chose a place yet for me to go. today, monday, is technically day,... 17 lol, since i have had my interview with the stake president, which i consider to be the finial step. soooo just chillin and waiting to hear back. everyone, including myself, has been making guesses to where i will be going and all i know is that where ever i go, is where the Lord wants me to go. I know that this work is true and not just made up by someone. i am able to feel His love when i do simple acts of missionary work and how great a feeling it will be once i am able to be a full time missionary! ooo exciting! hopefully i leave before the fall starts so everyone can be ther for my farewell. but if not, its ok, life happens and things happen for reason. i am trying to keep an upbeat attitude and spirit about it all, but if you know me, you know im impatient sometimes and this is DEFINITELY NO EXCEPTION LOL ooooo how blessed i am, how blessed i am...

my wisdom teeth and mexico...

2009-06-22T01:57:00.000-07:00

ok lol so i love talking about this cause i love peoples reactions lol. sooo on memorial day this year, me, my mom, my aunt and my cousin all went to Algadonus, which is this Mexican town literally right across the border. the town caters to US citizens and the entire town is a dental and ortho town, not including the cheep pain meds, but ill get to that later. well, we went down there to get my wisdom teeth taken out. and when i tell people this they r like OMGOSH Y WOULD YOU DO THAT! ITS MEXICO!im like calm down! lol. the doctor i go to was trained in the US in so cal and is the president of the dental board in mexico, so i KINDOF trust him. not just some random witch doctor from the local tribe you know lol. well usually what you can do if you r getting stuff done is you can park you car in the parking lot on the US side of the border for 5 bucks, not bad and walk over. like its so close to the border, iwas still texting people when i was done with the surgury. so my mom and i went theyre 2 days prior to get some fillings worked on and we drove right on through and theyre was no prob. WELLL we decide to drive into mexico, ON MEMORIAL DAY! oooo we were smart lol. cause we didnt see the line of cars that were waiting. we try getting to our doctors office and there is this line and we r like uhh... ok so crazy cranky people are blocking us in thinking that we r cutting and using some choice words and we r like CALM THE FREAK DOWN! crazy grandma drivers lol. so we wait in line for 45 min in my aunts car, WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING! CAUSE THE CARS NOT MOVING! and finially get to my apt. my wisdom teeth come out fine, theyre was no prob except for the bottom right but i didnt even know that he took out the top 2. i saw all the swollen faces of everyone who had theyre wisdom teeth pulled out and i was thinkin i was just like that with my numbed up face but i looked a little swollen dn thats it. then we wait for a while and my mom and aunt go get some medicine for me and they stock up. get this! my mom buys 100 pills of amoxicillin and ibprofin, 750 mg for a total of 5 dollars. THATS PERCRIPTION DOSEAGE LOL. sooo yeah next time u need med, go to mexico lol. so we finially leave and we pull out of the dentists office and of course the line is still in front of it and you know, being from america, mostly california, you pull out, even if someone dosnt let you get out, and you get in line. well no one was letting us out and my mom finially got out of the car and had to stop traffic and this guy in this truck was honking and yelling at my mom and you know how my mom is, she dosnt put up with that crap, she was like "you can hold on a minute!" then the guy went silent lol. then she was like thank u! lol. at the time i couldnt smile but i was inside lol. then we get in line. after 45 min of waiting in line and going maybe.... 4o feet if that, we have the polizia come up to us and start talking in spanish. of course, sheldon high school world language dept failed me so lol. jk, and i was like uhhhh nd none of us knew what he was talking about. well after 10 min of talking with them, they finially get a translator and tell us that we have to get in the back of the line because we "cut" we were all irritated but my mom was like "dont argue, i dont feel like spending more time in mexico than i have to" lol. so we got in the back of the line, which of course, was about a good 1/4 mile longer than it was when we first got there. so we were dieing, well I WAS! LOL. we waited, and waited and waited. FOR 4 HOURS WE WAITED IN LINE TO MAYBE GO A MILE IF THAT TO THE BORDER! WE WERE SOOOOOOOO TIRED OF MEXICO! oooo dang. im telling you what, Heavenly Father was definitly looking out for me because my pain meds started to wear off and i was in pain and i prayed like no bodies business. luckily i was able to down some amoxicillin and ibprofin and some pills that the doctors gave us. (side note, the bottle reads "amoxocillino" i laugh) but yes this was the spiritual part of the car ride lol. well after waiting in line forever, we realize that the border closes at 6 and we r like uhhhh... time is winding down and we calculate that we moved 3 car lengths ever 6 minutes, give or take. ooo it sucks, and no air conditioning, the car wasnt moving uhh. so we finially get to the border. they have been doing searches on like EVERY car on memorial day and we give him our passports and stuff and he sees my aunts maiden name, which is kotowski, and he is like ooo ur Polish too, then he said some weird name iono but then he laughed with us, or what ever is equivilant to it in "serious guard mode" that he was in. he joked with us and we asked him why it took so long and he goes oo srry that 3 hrs and 15 sucked huh and we r like uhh it was 4 and he was like uhh well the car in frnt of u said 3 hrs and 15 min then we were like well, we had to wait another 45 min because they thought we cut and he goes, you know what they wanted right? and we r like what? he said, "all they wanted was money, they were trying to hint to you that they wanted a bribe!" we were like NO WAY! then this is the best part, he says "THIS ISNT WALMART, ITS MEXICO!" LOL we laugh and he was cool so he didnt check the car and we drove home. oooo end to the hellish day, literally, thats what it felt like with the heat outside. ooo gosh watch, i get sent to some realllyyyy humid place where i die of heat each day, WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING!!!!! OOO GOODNESS LOL sooo now an end to my long story. ooo forgot one thing, we went ther because we priced out what it would cost us here, its was literally 40% of that price. i was diggin that and so was my mom and ur bank account! lol

i got a new ctr ring!...

2009-06-22T01:51:00.000-07:00

so on sat i got a new ctr ring! cool right! i know. well, i have never been one for ctr rings. i just think that the sheild with the ctr in the middle is a little lame, no offense. i wanted something different and it was hard to find because everyone online has the EXACT same items as deseret has but everyone is at different prices. well i go into deseret here in sac and find out my ring size then im like... uhh. iono. i already researched this before hand on which one i liked but i was hesitant because i was afriad that my finger would get all jacked up because there were grooves on the inside of the ring i wanted. so i told my mom and we both searched and found this really cool one. its really cool i put up the link but yeah, and it wasnt that bad of a price so im glad. i felt like having a ctr ring is somewhat but not really a necessity for going on a mission, at least for me it feels like. im still getting used to wearing it but i feel like a newlywed with a ring on my finger lol. i cant wait to see peoples reactions to how this lol

I am going to miss boss, bro call, bro purse, bro kinghorn out of all my teachers the most. each one of them has made my first year in college such an amazing experience. i like the term "i love byui, but hate rexburg" lol. its so true. this college is awesome. its programs are awesome. at times, yes, i get irritated with the rules. but at the same time. i know that this is a college ran by the church. it is ran by God. and i know that things happen for a reason here and that its so nice to know that every building here has been deticated. the spirit is SOOO strong here. its amazing. i love it. its going to be a tough change in a few days when i go back to sac and have to face the real world lol. but i know that i always have someone besides me. someone who knows my happiness and my struggles. someone who is ALWAYS there for me when needed. that person is yours, mine and ours Savior Lord and Redemer, Jesus Christ. well... here i go... back to pckin up again lol pray for me lol

His Hands...

2009-03-22T21:12:00.001-07:00

ok iono what it is but i have been in the posting video mood lately lol here is another one that is beautiful. a girl in my ward today sung the song and it was awesome so i thought i would look it up on youtube.

Come What May and Love It.

2009-03-22T13:42:00.000-07:00

firm foundation...

2009-03-22T01:16:00.000-07:00

i love the song "How Firm a Foundation." i have gain a new appriciation for the words on the song and the meaning behind it. I have never been able to truely see how blessed i am to know the knoweldge that i do posses until the last few weeks or so.

By having a firm foundation in the gospel of Jesus Christ, we have hope, love and tranquility. It brings peace when there is none, it brings love when it seems like its gone.

If you know me, then you know i get alot of questions and get talked to alot and am asked advice on things. i see how much easier it is to talk to members of the church or even hardcore Christians about things when i am able to relate a gospel priciple to it. It seems so much harder to give advice and the best thing, hope, to other when they have no knowledge of the Plan of Salvation or even the basic doctorines of Christ. We are blessed to have the knowledge we do posses that we so quickly skim over.

I love helping out my friends. If i help them out and they feel good then i feel good also. So much more could be said if i explain how Christ knows us all. How he feels the pains we feel. The sorrows we face. We are never alone. We always have the Spirit of Christ in us through the atonement.

It so much easier when you can tell your friends, "Our Heavenly Father gives us nothing that we cannot overcome." We are given trials in our life for a reason. To make us grow stronger and come unto His fold more.

It may seem hard now to get over things, old relationships, addictions, etc etc but by having a firm faith AND foundation in the Savior, ALL THINGS can and will be accomplished.

2009-03-20T10:50:00.000-07:00

lol so you know how they say that the bathroom is the best place to think HAHA WELL IT IS! lol soooo while i was in there, thinkin, lol, i was thinkin about stuff and food network popped in my mind. i was like omgosh i love food network. just think if i was a food network star! OMGOSH I WOULD DIE! so i totally have this all planned out. I would totally be awesome on the network because a couple things. 1. im young and full of excitement! lol 2. i have experience in knowing what to do when it comes to my topic. so my topic that my show would revolve around is one of two different themes. theme 1. Family food for the whole fam. theme 2. cooking on a college budget. great I KNOW! lol ahh that would be AWESOME! but... thats fantasy unfortunately. hey who knows it could happen. theres like ONE SMALL PROB. i dont know nearly as much as i need to to be a chef or even know my away around which spices and herbs work well with eachother. ive debated about culinary school but if i did grad from a culinary academy what would i do with it? like the way the economy is there is no point in getting one because i would never find a job. THATS WHERE OBAMA COMES IN! HAHAHA JK! we will see though. hey sum people have their dreams come true, thats where prayer comes into handy lol. night...

so im in a world religion class here at Y-I. nd i luv it! we have been studying eastern religion for the first part of the semester. we start the class off each day by meditating and i LUV IT! i realized how much each religion in the world revolves around the teachings of Jesus Christ. I luv it! i would totally want to go on a mission over in asia somehwere just because of this! i have also listened to this zen master video clip and its awesome. one thing that i liked alot is how he compared our lives with a lotus flower. He says that a lotus flower is a beautiful flower but can only grow in grime and filth. We are like the lotus flower. We need the grime and filth of the world to grow. Without it, we would not progress. i mean its awesome. if u want the clip i downloaded it.

Dear family and friends,
I had a very disturbing experience yesterday that I would like to share with
those of you that live outside of California (or outside of the San
Francisco Bay Area).
This weekend we have stake conference. Our stake conference always begins
with a stake temple session on Friday or Thursday night. Early Friday
morning I received a call from the second counselor in our bishopric to let
me know that there would be numerous protesters outside the temple, and to
remind everyone to stay calm and to drive carefully. The beautiful
Oakland Temple is located right across the bay from San Francisco , very
close to the city of Berkeley .

Apparently the opposition to proposition 8, the amendment that seeks to make
marriage in CA between a man and a woman again, has realized the deep
involvement of the church and begun to protest right outside of the temple
and harass temple patrons. The fastest way to get to the temple from our
house is to take the 680 freeway, but the exit is a bit tricky. The off
ramp is extremely short and straight uphill. You then make an almost blind
left turn, an immediate right and another left into the parking lot. As we
approached the off ramp, I realized there would be trouble. There was a
backup onto the freeway from cars stalled on the off ramp. As we moved
forward inches at a time, we realized this was due to a large group of loud
protesters who were standing on both sides of the street, yelling, screaming
and waving signs. When we got to the top of the offramp, ready to make our
turn, one protester jumped out right in front of our car. It took my
husband all his self control to carefully maneuver around him to the left
and proceed to the temple.

I tried not to listen to all they were shouting at us, but I was shaking as
I got to the temple front door. Several of the sisters, especially the ones
driving on their own, were crying (which made me snap out of it and go into
Relief Society President mode to comfort them). Later, as I was sitting in
the perfect quiet of the chapel, I couldn't help but think of Lehi's dream,
and the people who mocked the Saints from the big spacious building but
'we heeded them not.' It was a truly surreal experience, I'd never thought
that I would have to go through an angry crowd to get to the temple. As we
left late at night, the protesters had dispersed, temple security (who all
looked very large and Tongan) stood by the gates. I never saw a single
police man.

Please pray for those of us in California fighting for prop 8--it's getting
kind of scary out here!"
