Everything Else

My Goals:

I need to learn how to talk to people and not be shy, and to stop worrying what other people think of me/what I have to say. Once I step out of my comfort zone, I will be able to accomplish more, like asking people for information concerning an ancestor.

Index at least one record a week. Attend the temple twice a month while in Rexburg. Long Term goal/records retention project: Type up the family history records compiled by Emma Jacobson concerning my ancestors.

 Challenges: Forgetting. Not being focused. Being “lazy.”

CI.5: Beginning my Book of Remembrance

My Testimony:

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know it, I live it, I love it. I know that God speaks through prophets, and that He has not stop speaking. Thomas S. Monson is the current prophet. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that he translated the Book of Mormon, which is the word of God. The Book of Mormon was written for our day.
I know that the importance of families is an essential teaching in the Gospel, and that families can be together for ever. Sacred ordinances for deceased family members can be completed in the temple. Temples are the house of God here on earth. I know that my life has a purpose, and that my Heavenly Father knows who I am and loves me.
I know that repentance/the atonement is for everyone, and that Heavenly Father will forget my sins when I truly repent. I know that His Son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins.
I will never check my religion at the door, I will remain steadfast and immovable in my testimony.
[In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen]

I will be published.
I will be married in the temple.
I will have children (lots if if can help it!)
I will always be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
