Well...

I havent written here in forever, because the past 10 months have been odd... I am jobless, living with my parents... Yet i haven't been this happy in my life. I have had so many times where i have had happy moments... But never so many happy days, where i sleep with a smile on my face... I know most of the readers will know this, but i was raised in the church. Did what i was supposed to, because i had to. I knew the church was true because it was rational. it made sense. Not very scientific i know. i should have come up with a hypothesis, tested, came up with data and made a theory. After that prove my theory, and come up to my conclusion on my own... I saw the problem that i had and decided to actually test this out... I know without a doubt the power of God. He has given me family who loves me, who pushes me, and urges me to be better. He gave me friends who love me, and make me want to be better, who show me a better way, and show their love for me. I know i have made mistakes but because Christ died for me so i can be redeemed.

This past weekend was General conference. I have listened my whole life... This was the first year where i knew i felt the spirit the whole time... i want to get a journal for the first time in my life so i can write all my thoughts and feelings down about it! Thursday i am returning to the temple... First time in two years. i am impressed that i am able to do this... I know i will keep my recommend from here on out though. I have never been so sure in my life.

I have been living in Apple Valley for almost 8 months now. A while ago i met some friends that have truly changed my life. I was not the best guy around, but because of these great people i have seen what is means to know. without a doubt. i know because they urged me, with help from the spirit of course, to see what i could do by looking for myself. They knew without a doubt. i wanted to see if i could. I will always be struggling to be like them, but i know i will always be trying to be better. I wish i could profess how much i love all of them, and how happy they have made me. Everyday i wake up with a smile because of them.
