About Me

My name's Michelle. I live in California, but hope to move to Utah or Idaho ;) I'm a very outdoors-y kind of girl. I love nature, and photography. I play soccer, and like to run. I snorkel a lot. I am a HUGE Carrie Underwood fan, and Brad Paisley is one of the most amazing men in this world haha :) I am a big drawing fan, and not going to lie: I'm good at it, but want to be better. lol. I have strong faith in our Heavenly father and in Jesus Christ. :) I am a Child of God. I enjoy history and maybe some day, I can be an archaologist or combine my art and photography skills and do something with that. "Love isn't just a feeling; it's work." -Shay Carl "And now as I say concerning faith, faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith, ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true."

I feel inspired :D


I swear they told me to put  the picture up haha :)
   So, I felt the need to blog. Trust me, I don't consider myself a blogger. To be honest, I've maybe done it once. Maybe twice, but who's counting? ;) It's not interesting to me (to read nor to be the composer), but I realized something...
   I love Church. I love everybody at Church. I love the missionaries, and the connection with God. I love the activities, and the singing (even though I can't say I'm good at that). Anyways, the problem is: I'm not baptized. I have wanted to be baptized for... 3? 4 years? But I was too
young to make the decision for myself -at the time-, so I guess I figured; Why? Why go to church if I can't be a member of it? That was when I was 12. Now I'm 16, and feel I am capable of making my own decisions. I want to be baptized... SO BAD! I just had the sister Missionaries over. I told them I dedicated an entire blog to them. I think they felt special :) haha which they are. I can't wait to be a member of the Church, and even though I've been told it's "just a stage" that I want to be baptized, but I'd have to disagree because I KNOW that I want to be closer to our Heavenly Father & in Jesus Christ. I KNOW that the Church is true. I KNOW that I want to live an eternal life and when the time comes, an eternal marriage. I want the church to be my future, and my family's. I want it to be in my life. With this, I know what I pray for every night. If I ask for guidance, he'll supply it.
   The Sister Missionaries helped me with this. They've taught me, and given me advice... anything. They're amazing young women, and they inspire me greatly. I guess I just dedicated another blog to them.


Sister Winn & Alcantara, this blog is for you. :)
Love,
Michelle.


P.S-  I just felt the need to vent ;)
...should have started this out "Dear Blog." But, I've also got a diary for that. hehe.

Sisters from God

Well, I am sixteen. I consider myself a good child. I don't give into peer pressure; don't do drugs, drink, etc. My sister had gone through that when she was my age, and she has taught me not to make those mistakes. I love my sister, and she is probably the closest person to me. Speaking of Sisters: Recently I witnessed some friends doing some of this stuff, and I didn't want to see it, or be around it. So, being that most of my friends are doing the stuff I don't agree with, the only one I wanted and knew I could turn to is God. Recently, I had come to the realization that I miss Church. I miss the people, the testimonies and most of all, the connection with God. I had prayed to him for a sign assuring I was wanted back. Surely enough, at my door, two Sister Missionaries showed up at my door, and since then, I've had them visit me regularly as I feel I am close to them now. They are young (maybe 21-23 years of age) and really, that's not much older than me. I connect with them so easily and they are true inspirations in my life. Their names are Sister Winn & Sister Alcantara. Originally, it was Sister Alcantara and another companion of hers, but I had only met her once, and then came Sister Winn. I wish that I could somehow express my appreciation for them. So far, I've had them over for dinner, and I want them to know that they really are a big part of my life right now. To be honest, it seems kind of weird to me that I consider the Sister Missionaries my friends, but I can kind of tell they consider me the same. I know that they specifically were supposed to be the ones to teach me and help my faith grow stronger. I know that they were sent to me from God, and I think that is why I love them so much haha. Well, this is my first time using this bloggamajigger so... I felt this would be a good topic.  I don't know how they will, but i hope the Sisters see this!
