About This Blog

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. And on this blog, I share some of the things I believe in with you (in case you're interested) in addition to the church talks I gave in the past.

A word of warning: I DO NOT like to sugarcoat my thoughts and experiences. I express my thoughts in a direct and honest manner. And sometimes, the truth is hard and hurtful to hear. If you're offended by anything I say regarding my experiences in the Church, then I suggest you not read this blog. I am in no way trying to denounce anything regarding the Church but to promote the good of it. I am also attempting to show that Mormons (as we are generally called) are not weird people but normal people going about doing good in our communities.

All-Time New Years 2014 Highlights: Great Friends from the YSA

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends..." (John 15:13-14)

No joke, this is how I feel about these people:

I just love being around them!

I'm still not fond of living in Oregon but I did meet and befriend some great people. We had our multi-Stake Young Single Adult New Years Party and this time, it felt different. It wasn't about those New Years resolutions that we were going neglect and toss aside anyways (although it would be great that we DO see through to those resolutions all year long!). This year, I met people. I got to know better people I met before. And most importantly, I met Saints; my brothers and sisters. People who I have the privilege of sharing commonalities with. We all come from different backgrounds and circumstances but that didn't mean we couldn't enjoy each others' company! We are friends, and brothers and sisters from the same YSA Branch we've been blessed to have!

Happy New Years, my dear friends! The gospel's true!
