I Know That My Redeemer Lives
Listen to this song and read the lyrics. This song by Paul Cardall helped me through a pretty big trial in my life. As I listen to it now I am filled with peace to know that my Savior really is there for us. He loves us and if we let Him, He can take away our pain. We can have a hope for better things to come, and we will see our loved ones again. I love you Sandy!
1. I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead.
He lives, my ever-living Head.
He lives to bless me with his love.
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need.
2. He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.
3. He lives, my kind, wise heavnly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath.
He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.
4. He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
He lives! All glory to his name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”

AEBLESKIVERS!!!!
What's your favorite kind of pancake? Banana? Chocolate chip? Maybe blueberry? Well imagine having a pancake in the form of a ball with your favorite topping INSIDE! Kind of like a pancake popper...only there is a name for it...Aebleskiver! A friend of mine introduced these HEAVENLY treats to me! And OH how I love them! Breakfast is my FAVORITE meal of ALL time, so anytime I learn a new dish I love it!
Well because I love them SO much I decided to share this secret with a bunch of other Sister Missionaries that I lived with. We had a BLAST making them together and it was fun to make them with all sorts of fillings! And today for a meeting some more of us missionaries are going to have fun doing the very same thing!
Sure I could keep this recipe to myself and not left anyone in on the fun but then what would happen when I get old and start pushing daisys? No one will EVER know my secret.
The same goes for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Here I am, a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I have the secret to happiness. Only it's not a secret at all! We invite ALL men, EVERYWHERE, to come unto Christ and have this joy. It comes from reading The Book of Mormon. It comes from praying every single day to our Father in Heaven. And it comes from learning about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ through His servant Joseph Smith.
Secrets out! Now its up to you to see if you like it as much as I do! I know will. Check out our website for more info: lds.org & mormon.org

195 Dresses
It's so important that we follow our living Prophet dress modestly. I'm so grateful for the council we have been given which helps us to know we truly are children of a loving Heavenly Father.

I Choose to Be Pure
No matter what religion you are you can still have high standards. Our bodies are temples and God wants us to respect ourselves and those around us. To learn more check out our website: mormon.org
The Song of the HEART
I love Marissa's one liner....one song is NOT worth losing the Spirit! It's SO true! The music we listen to should uplift us and allow the Spirit to stay so that it can ALWAYS be with us!

Friends
I was thinking today about one of my dear friends that passed away not too long ago. I remember when she died I felt like no one really cared. They expressed their sympathies and let me cry to them but I remember thinking, "why isn't everyone sad with me?" I wanted everyone to cry, I didn't want my friend to be forgotten.
Luckily that's not how things work. As I look back now I'm grateful that everyone wasn't sad with me. It was their strength that lifted me up. The strength of my TRUE friends who, even when they didn't have the words to say, were there to just let me cry.
Our trials are never easy. In fact often times when we stumble across a trial we often wonder how we'll EVER make it through. Take a look around you though. There are SO many people that LOVE and care about you. Yes you may feel like the only one who is suffering but look at how many people are here to help. And if your not experiencing a big trial right now, take the opportunity to reach out to someone you can see who is hurting.
No matter what circumstance you're in, no matter what trial you are facing, you are loved. Our Father in Heaven is aware of you and He loves you. Let the light of those around you lift you up. Remember that God has a plan for each one of His children, and that you are NOT alone. And keep SMILING :)
