This is me on the Provo Temple grounds.                       Alma 29:9-10:

9 I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it.  I do not glory of myself but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.  10 And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which he extended  towards me.

​ZOOM IN ON THIS PICTURE>> 

I drew each one of the Missionaries in my district!  (Including myself)

THIS IS IT!!! Packed up everything.  Today I said goodbye to everyone and everything I know.

  Heavenly Father is everything I need. Jesus Christ is the Light, the Joy, the Enabler, the Strength for every moment of the 730 days ahead. 

He is my literal ALL.



I have absolutely no anxiety or fear or nervousness to leave all my life, family, friends, world, stuff, opportunites behind!  My life is not my own, and I have no interest in my own will or short-sighted plans! 

SHARING THE JOY I'VE FOUND IN MY SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST--This is what I have chosen to use my life for, for over a decade now.  Ever since I was 8yrs old, this is the ultimate I've lived for and found lasting happiness and full meaning in!!!

Following light; choosing light; sharing light; these are the joys my Heavenly Father highest hopes we will choose! Why? Because they bring US joy, they bring HIM joy, and they bring us to our highest, unbounded, divine, godly, eternal potential as His sons and daughters! 

SUPER RIDICULOUS HAPPINESS REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!! THAT'S WHAT THIS RESTORED FULNESS OF CHRIST'S GOSPEL HAS GIVEN MY LIFE!!! 

I choose to prove Heavenly Father right about everything He believes in me!  His way and His will is 15493159230628642429457358230186193x Better than mine, and will make 25623455236633745635435342x More out of me than I could ever make of myself.

"You lived with your Heavenly Father in a premortal life. You were there with Him. Your spirit knows what it is like to live in celestial realms. You can never be truly happy in an uncelestial environment. You know too much. That is one of the reasons that for you, wickedness never can be happiness. What a great thing it is to decide once and for all early in life what you will do..." _Elder Larry Gibbons, ("Wherefore, Settle This in your Hearts," 2006 General Conference).

 "I plead with you to make a determination right here, right now, not to deviate from the path which will lead to our goal: eternal life with our Father in Heaven."  _Prophet of God, Thomas S Monson

THIS IS WHAT I USE MY AGENCY TO CHOOSE.

SAVE YOUR LIFE BY LOSING IT ALL THE WAY FOR

HEAVENLY FATHER'S HIGHEST VERSION OF YOUR UNFATHOMABLE, GRAND, UNBOUNDED, ETERNAL, DIVINE POTENTIAL AS HIS CHILD.

I testify of God's love.

When we trust His love, and remember He is merciful and kind,

HE IS APPROACHABLE

HE IS INTIMATE AND PERSONAL,

AND MORE THAN PERFECTLY INTERESTED IN--->YOU!!!

YOU.

YOU INDIVIDUALLY.

YOU BY NAME.

YOU HIS CHILD.

TRUST His love.

Choose light, every moment of every bit of your now.
