sixteen year olds;

Sixteen year olds can be pretty fantastic. For example, Lauren Alaina is sixteen and right now is in the Top Five on American Idol. I can't think of many more off the top of my head but one I can think of, and is actually the reason why I'm talking about this, is Mormon. I just read the book of Mormon (not the whole book...just the nine chapters...I don't know what else to call it). In the second chapter it talks about how when he's only sixteen he leads an army of Nephites against the Lamanites...and wins. If he's not awesome, I don't know what else he is. The Nephites were outnumbered AND were being led by a sixteen-year-old.

I vow to be that awesome when I am sixteen.





Now Personal Progress, something I feel like I haven't talked about for a while.
I just finished the Doctrine and Covenants last night, as well as the Joseph Smith History, which is part of the deal. I only have two more scripture masteries to finish and then I'm done with knowledge! :)
Also, I have finished ALL of my experiences. Nope, not just some...ALL.
Last Friday, I babysat for my young women's leader, Sister Ordyna for free and passed off my last Good Works experience. It felt good to do that for them and it was fun for me. I love babysitting kids. They're so cute and pure and fun and I'm really the one getting the benefit from it. Unbeknowest to me though, Sister Ordyna brought me a little gift on Sunday and I was grateful for that.

So, as of now, I need to finish my Choice and Accountability project (which I will tell you about) and the Book of Mormon. I only have less than forty pages left in the Book of Mormon which is beyond crazy. I'm really liking it though. I didn't really pay attention in the beginning like I wish I had. It was late...I was tired...It's written funny...I don't know what they're talking about...I just read three chapters and realized I have no idea what happened..............These are all things that went through my mind. Not until the end of Alma, though, did I really start paying attention the stories and the messages in it. The two-thousand Stripling Warriors have always been a favorite story of mine and that's what really made me start paying attention. I can't wait to read it again so I can learn the stories and apply the messages to my life better and more.

My Choice and Accountability project is a scrapbook about my choice to get married and sealed in the temple. I'm making it online and I just started last Saturday but I'm already really liking it. I'll try posting some pictures I sent to my sister on here...even though my sister is the only one reading this, probably. Not the point... Nope, it didn't work. Hey, Vanessa, a little help?

Anyways, it's super cool.
