Today marks a new beginning for this blog. Last summer I was blessed to go to Ghana, West Africa on an internship with Empower Playgrounds. These pages were filled with stories of cute little African kids and beautiful scenery. This summer will be a completely different story. I made the move from Utah to Boston after graduating from college. If you choose the continue reading this blog, you will find out why.
But first, introductions. I am a single, twenty-something Mormon with an affinity for getting to know people. I love learning and have a passion for teaching. I believe that God has molded me into who I am today in order to accomplish a specific purpose on this earth. He broke me with my parents' divorce when I was 16 years old and has slowly built me back up into something that I hope He can use to perform His work. He led me to Arizona, Indonesia, the Holy Land, Ghana, and even Blanding, UT. He guided me through each of them, introducing me to life-changing people and experiences, creating in me a completely different person at the end than when I arrived. It is because of Him that I am who I am today. The Atonement of Jesus Christ changes people. Individually. As we learn more about Christ and get to know Him as our Savior and friend, our lives change. People become more important than things. We come to know that the love of Christ conquers all. We become truly happy. I'm excited to share my experiences and how I came to know these things.
A favorite quote in the meantime:
"And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith." (D&C 88:118)
