You Gotta Hold On

This post is based on a song called "Up by Olly Murs featuring Demi Lovato." While I was driving home last Thursday, my non-member friend Brodie was playing the song. I asked her what the song called, and so she told me. I enjoyed listening to the song and I knew straight away that I would like to share with you all the song.

Below is the Video of the song.

If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below;

What was your favourite part of the song if you listened to the song?
I will share with you of what my favourite part was when I listened to the song and it's shown as an Image below.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Oh, you gotta HOLD ON hold on to what YOUR FEELING that feeling is THE BEST THING the best thing, alright. - Olly Murs and Demi Lovato."

Girls, it's so true. Do you like that part of the song? Most times, it's like saying "we gotta hold on to what we feel about our Missionaries during the wait if it's meant to be and I know it can be best thing to feel about it."

I know that the song can relate to you during the wait for your Missionary to leave for his mission, during the wait while your Missionary is serving his mission and after when your Missionary comes home from his mission. You gotta hold on and remain strong. You gotta let everything that stops you waiting to let it go now, so that it wouldn't distract you from waiting or else it will hurt you during the wait.

Faith and Faithful

It was great to know that the 2 last posts is strong and it's spiritual. I have been trying to write while Holy Ghost is guiding me of what to say. I know sometimes it can be hard to know what to say because it's either I have a lot of things on my mind or I don't want to post something that I have posted before.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Everyone would like to have stronger faith. By themselves, the scriptures may not strengthen your faith, but being faithful to what they teach, does. In other words, faith cannot be separated from faithfulness. - John Bytheway." 

It's so true! Girls, what does the word "faith" means to you?

What does the word "faith" means to someone who is near you? 

Can you think of any recent experiences using faith?

If you can't think of anything, I encourage you to ask a friend or a family member if they could think of any recent experiences using faith.

When I think about the word "faith," I think about the meaning of it and so that would be believing in something that does exist but cannot seen.

What does the word "faithful" means to you?

What does the word "faithful" means to someone who is near you? 

When I think about the word "faithful," I think about the meaning of it and so that would be remaining loyal and steadfast. I love being faithful in the Church by standing up to what I believe in to my non-member friends and I'm not ashamed to share anything about the Church to my non-member friends. 

Girls, I encourage you all to remember what the word "faith" means to you and write down in your journal so you can look back to it one day. Girls who are members of the Church, I encourage you to remain "faithful" in the Church and remain strong. The word "faithful" can be used as remain "faithful" to the relationship between you and your Missionary during the wait. I hope you learnt something new; it could be anything. It could be simply as learning what the word "faithful" means for someone else.

See the GOOD in Yourself

I love the short quote by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland which is shown as an Image below. I hope you will love the quote too.

If you can't see the Image, it says "See the GOOD in yourself. - Elder Jeffrey R. Holland."

Girls, it's so true. Whenever you let yourself down, I encourage you to try to see the good in yourself. I know it can be not so easy than we thought about it. I know that I have let myself down by saying that I wished I could have done some things differently. The more that I have realised, that everything has a purpose. We may don't have the full understanding of everything and its purpose of it all. Everything has its own way of doing things and we can't stop it.

Please see the good in yourself, it's worth to know what is the good for you when we trust in Heavenly Father. Sometimes, it may be worthwhile to ask Heavenly Father what is the good that he sees in you. We may not get an answer for it, but through actions we would be able to know for ourselves what we are good at. We also have talents. Heavenly Father has given each of us different talents and a few talents could be common with a friend who is next to you or a family member who is next to you.

Don't be afraid to ask someone around you about what are the good qualities do they see in you through actions. If you do that, make sure that you can write it down and compare what you think of what are the good qualities that you see in yourself.

Best Days

I had no idea what to post today until I really thought about what to post while I was looking at Images that I already have on my laptop.

I loved the Image below, and I hope you can see it.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life."

Girls, it is so true. It's like saying "If things doesn't work out, we always can reach to Heavenly Father through consistent content and sincere prayer. We must understand that he has better plans for us. He knows what is best for us, and he is trying to keep us happy."

Everything will be alright, even when we go through trails, tribulations and struggles each day. We always have to go through the bad days first, then receive the best days of our lives.

When we have bad days, we can always pray to Heavenly Father to comfort us, we can always talk to our friends (preferably to friends who would care) about what we are going through, we can always read the past General Conference talks (that can be based on trails, tribulations, struggles, comfort, etc), we can always read the New Eras or Ensigns, we can always read over our journals of how we were overcome those bad days in the past and we can always read our scriptures. You can always ask your Dad to receive a blessing (if he is a member of the Church and worthy to hold the Priesthood) or you could ask the Elders from serving your ward or the ward bishop from your ward or your home teachers, it helps to get through the bad days too.

Gratitude

I was thinking and writing about the things that I really am grateful for. There is never enough to be grateful for. I am most grateful for being a Latter Day Saint. I love the many teachings that I have been taught from being in Primary, in Young Women's, and now being a Young Single Adult.

I am so grateful that I have been able to help with some of my friends. I don't have answers to every question. Some questions has got me, really to think about it. I love receiving appreciation in return.

Here's a video below that talks about Gratitude.If you unable to see the video, the video is called "Elder Hales talks about Gratitude"

If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0YVLuL_DnI

Elder Robert D. Hales said that if we endure with a grateful attitude, then that which we endure will strengthen us. “We realize that the purpose of our life on earth is to grow, develop, and be strengthened through our own experiences. Tests and trials are given to all of us. These mortal challenges allow us and our Heavenly Father to see whether we will exercise our agency to follow His Son,” he said.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Gratitude."

Girls, I encourage you to ask yourself the following four questions.

Have your thoughts about Gratitude changed while watching the video? If so, in what way?

If not, in what ways could you change your thoughts about Gratitude?

What were your thoughts about Gratitude?

We All Make Mistakes

This post may make you cry, and I encourage you to find a few tissues or some tissues nearby. I was very lucky from a bad decision that I have made late this afternoon to early this evening. I will share with you the experience of the bad decision.

Girls, my Mum left me behind with one of her church friends, my youngest sister, and my youngest two school friends to go to watch "Meet the Mormons" movie. After I left home, I was one of the drivers on the road. I stopped at a intersection, I was turning to go right to head the way to the highway. I checked both sides and it was clear. I checked again for both sides and it was still clear.

When I just made the turn, an incoming beeped his/her horn at me and slowed down instantly (he or she was speeding). There was a few people on the side of the road, that they heard the horn but didn't see me making the turn. I am grateful to know that Heavenly Father was watching over me and made me realised more that they are silly drivers on the road. Surely, no one is perfect at driving and we all still continue to learn new skills of driving. 

I love the Image above, and it says "I wish I could've lived my life without making any wrong turns. But that's impossible. A path like that doesn't exist. We fail. We trip. We get lost. We make mistakes. And little by little, one step at a time, we push forward. It's all we can do. On our own two feet. - Nathan Takaya, Fruits Basket Vol. 21 www.behappy.me"

Girls, it is so true. It's also part of The Plan of Salvation/The Plan of Happiness by being tested, go through trails, struggles and tribulations. It's the natural mankind and there is nothing that we can do about it to stop those wrong turns, trails, struggles and tribulations.

Don't worry about what others think. There will be people in life thinks that we could be distractions to our Missionaries during their missions, there will be people in like who thinks that you and your Missionary shouldn't be together during his mission. Girls, you have a decision to make and wise it wisely. I wouldn't suggest complaining to your Missionary about everything, I would encourage you to be the best as you can for your Missionaries by sending your Missionary encouraging quotes, scripture references and uplifting experiences during the week.

This post continues on and on and I will conclude this post by encouraging you to read a post called "Overcoming Our Mistakes" that I have written earlier this month. I hope you read the post. Here's the link below if you are interested to read about that post. www.missionarygirlfriendhelpandsupport.blogspot.com/2015/03/overcoming-our-mistakes.html

Another Goodbye is Hard

It was hard to say another goodbye to another friend to leave. I haven't cried as yet, but I imagined what it would be like if I was at the airport to say goodbye to my Missionary. My friend was crying a lot and I was so happy for her. She got called to serve in Washington DC Mission.

I liked this Image below and I hope you like it too.

If you can't see the Image, it says "It's not the Goodbye that hurts but the Flashback that follow."

It is so true. I can relate to that. It feels like it could be saying "Another goodbye is definitely hard. It's definitely not easy. Some people may say it is easy to say goodbye for 18 months or 2 years if they don't care."

I have done a blog post on Monday for my friend who left for her mission, here's the link below if you are interested of reading it.
www.holdontothisjourney.blogspot.com/2015/03/farewell-sister-ula-ete.html

Girls, don't be afraid to say goodbye or bye for the last time for 2 years. Don't be afraid to say bye through emails after emailing back and forth. Don't be afraid to say bye through the Skype call if you joined for Mother's Day or Christmas Day or both.

Always try to keep calm, reminding strong throughout the wait, stay busy and always always keep smiling. I know it can be hard to keep calm, reminding strong through the wait, staying busy and keep smiling. It's definitely a good feeling to do those things because I have done those things for myself. Some of my friends is always happy to know when I tell them what I have been doing lately. I am surprised when they are always saying "You are always busy." It is good to know that I have been keeping busy.

Missin' You Like Crazy

This post is based on a song called "Missin' You Like Crazy by US to Duo." If you haven't heard the song before, I encourage you to listen to the song in your own time.

This post relates by it says "Missin' you like crazy." I know you are feeling to say "Missing you like crazy" to your Missionary during his mission. Do you ever tell your Missionary that you miss him? Well you have been, try not to say it because it may hurt if you continue to say it. I said to my Missionary that I missed him twice and he didn't say that misses me back.

Below is a Video of the song. I hope you will enjoy the song.

Did you liked the song overall? Do you think this song relates to you?
What part of the song did you liked the most?

I will share with you the part that I liked the most which is shown as an Image below and I hope you will like it.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "I'm tired of being alone, calling you on the phone. I'd rather have you here with me."

Girls, I still remember when before one of my guy friends went on his mission, we both used to call each other, we used to Facebook message to each other often and we text messaged each other almost everyday and every night. It makes me wish that my Missionary and I would have called each other before he left. My Missionary and I were always busy, only have times for text messaging each other and Facebook messaging each other.

If you are waiting for your Missionary to leave to go on his mission, make every second of each phone calls worthwhile, make every second worthwhile when you both are spending time together and make every other conversations worthwhile.

I Will Wait For You

This post is based on a song called "I Will Wait For You by US The Duo" This post relates to girls who are waiting for their Missionaries. If you haven't heard the song before, I encourage you to listen to the song. This post is short and sweet.

Below is the Video of the song. I hope you will like it.

What part of the song did you liked the most?

Girls, I will share with you the part that I liked the most which is shown as an Image below and I hope you will like it.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "No one can choose who they fall for, Or when they fall, or how they fall, or why."

It's like saying, "No one can force us to fall in love with someone who we don't like. No one can force us to when we fall in love. No one can force us to of how we fall in love and no one can force us to of why we fall in love. No one should be forcing us to do anything that we don't like."

We all have choices to make each day, and allow the day takes its time. We shouldn't be saying to hurry up for time, because there is always so much that you could be doing during the day. We all have 24 hours a day either if we used it wisely or not. Girls, this post relates to you because you will wait for your Missionary.

Don't Worry Girls

Girls, I would like to share with you what my Missionary's Mum has shared with me through Facebook. She has been a great friend throughout the time that my Missionary has been serving so far. She knows that I appreciates our friendship, our conversations, telling each other anything, we trust each other a lot and other things.

I hope you can see the Image below, it's because it's the Image that she has shared with me. I hope you will like it.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Don't worry about what other people say behind your back, they are the people who are finding faults in your life instead of fixing the faults in their OWN LIFE."

It's so true, and I can relate to that. I would like to share with you an advice. It might be good to hear or it might hurt you. Either way, I hope you found it as a nice way and not a bad way.

"GIRLS, we need to stop worrying about what other people say behind our backs. It may hurt when we find out the truth by ourselves. Most times it is better for people to tell us the truth by asking us questions to find out of what they are saying is true than other people to tell you. Sometimes, it isn't nice to find out the truth from other people, especially from mutual friends with the friend who told you. I hope that makes sense." 

We all need to trust in Heavenly Father and have no need to worry. Most worries can turn into a problem. When it turns into problems, it's not a good idea to share with our Missionaries. I learnt recently that some guys doesn't mind about girls complaining and other guys don't like girls complaining. Many times, I try not to complain anything but when a guy friend asks what's wrong, I explain to him what's wrong.

Letters and More Letters

Girls, do you write letters to your Missionary? Does your Missionary ever write you letters either in return or send you letters by surprise? If he hasn't written you a letter before, that's alright. You aren't alone, my Missionary hasn't written me a letter before. However, I have written letters to him throughout his mission and he appreciates the letters.

For the last 4 to 5 days, I have been writing letters to some of my friends who also on their missions. I was writing a few letters in return as a reply and some letters will be sending as a surprise. I love writing letters and always having the knowledge of what to say through letters (it's handy).

I like the Image that is shown below and I hope you will like it too.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Writing isn't letters on paper. It's communication. It's memory. - Isaac Marion."

It's so true. I know it's communication because a few friends when they send me letters, they ask me some questions and share their experiences. So in return of their letters, I am able to answer their questions, read their experiences, share any of my experiences and ask them questions. It is a great experience to read letters that has a conversation going.

I know it's memory because you will be able to keep the letters and able to re read over the letters any time you want and it's an advantage to read those experiences when you are feeling down.

"GIRLS, don't worry too much if your Missionary doesn't write you letters. You can still be supportive for him and for you to continue send letters for him. He will still appreciate letters from you, Missionaries LOVES letters. They may seem busy all the time, but they still LOVE letters!!"

When I'm With You

This post is short and sweet. This post is based on a song called "When You Kiss Me by Shania Twain." This song relates so much while waiting for your Missionary to leave and after he gets home from his mission. Well I think it does but not too sure what you think.

Below is a Video of the song. I hope you will like it.

What was your favourite part of the song?

My favourite part of the song, is shown on a Image below

If you can't see the Image above, it says "no one gets me like you, when YOU KISS ME. Thought I knew what love was but I didn't have a clue. Never found anything that makes me feel like I do when I'm with you."

That is so true. My Missionary and I haven't kissed before. The following questions is for the girls who dated their Missionaries before he left.

Do you remember the last time when you and your Missionary kissed before he left?

Do you remember the first time when you and your Missionary kissed?

Girls, I'm sure it would be great if you remembered both of the first kiss and last kiss. How are you coping of not able to kiss your Missionary for 2 years during his mission?

It's alright if you don't remember the first kiss with your Missionary. It's alright if you don't remember the last kiss with your Missionary before he left.

I don't have much to say about this post. I'm sorry.

Today is Your Day

When you hear "Today is Your Day," what does that mean to you? I encourage you to ask someone around you the same question. When I hear "Today is Your Day," it means "Today is my day, today is my day to change better than yesterday, today is my day to start a new beginning and today is my day to make better goals to achieve."

This post is actually based on a song called "Today Is Your Day by Shania Twain." Below is the Video of the song.

What part do you like the most of the song?

Below is an Image that I liked about the song.

If you can't see the Image, it says "Today is your day and nothing can stand in your way."

Girls, make today as your priority. Focus on today, don't worry about what happened yesterday and take one day at a time. Don't over think about you would be doing for tomorrow. Sometimes things doesn't work out as well as it planned to. Share with your Missionary, the positive things that has happened during the week. I still remember emailing my Missionary about the positive things during the week and he appreciates the updates.

Positive things that you can share with your Missionary can be sharing the missionary work experiences, or meeting new friends (finding out it's friends of his) that you have made or attending a session at the Temple, hope for him that he will have a good week/great week, etc.

You're Still The ONE

I love too many songs, but that's alright. Many songs that I have listened to lately, relates to you somehow, either while you are waiting for your Missionary or when he comes home. This post is based on a song called "You're Still The One By Shania Twain."

Below, is the Video of the song and I hope you will like it.

Below is an Image of the section of the song that I liked the most.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "They said, I bet they'll never make it," but just look at us holding on. We're still together, still going strong."

It's so true and relates to you. You all have wait haters and they would say "I bet they'll never make it." You and your Missionary still together after long time or short time distance apart during his mission. I'm sure that you both still going strong. Don't worry about the wait haters says about you and your Missionary, as much as it could hurt but just ignore them or just tell them straight up how you feel what they said to you.

You can always prove the wait haters wrong, that you and your Missionary is still together of each milestone reaches during his mission. When your Missionary reaches his 3 months mark, or 6 months mark, or 1 year mark, you could tell the wait haters that you and your Missionary is still together.

Girls, I believe in you. If it is meant to be, it will happen of you and your Missionary will still be together after his Mission. If it's not meant to be, that's alright and there is still hope like another chance after his mission.

There You'll Be

This post is based on a song called "There You'll Be by Faith Hill." I love the song so much and it made me feel goosebumps when I first time listened to the song. I almost cried when I listened to the song for the second time. The song is one of the soundtracks that was played during "Pearl Habour movie."

Below is a Video to the song, I hope you will like it.

If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below;

Girls, what do you think about the song? Do you think it relates to you somehow? I love a section apart of the song, which is shown as an Image below.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "In my dreams, I'll always see you sour above the sky. In my heart, There will always be a place For you for all of my life. I'll keep a part of you with me and everywhere I am, There you'll be."

When I heard this song, I think about "There he will be on his mission for 2 years. 2 years will be limited of contact. 2 years will go fast while keeping busy. Life would still throw struggles, trails and tribulations in front of me and mostly when it's unexpected. There will always be a time to pray to Heavenly Father to help me to understand those struggles, trails and tribulations is part of life. Continue to change better each day and become stronger person. Don't worry about what other people say negative about me."

Girls. we all need to be strong. I still remembered the few months after my Missionary left. It was very hard but I always had Heavenly Father by my side to help me to get through those few months. It's also great to have a great close connection with his Mum, it just makes things not easier, but a lot of sense and happiness. I have trusted my Missionary's Mum a lot and she has shown me so much trust as well. Don't be afraid to message me anytime you want. I am happy to answer or help you with list of suggestions of anything. Always remember to have Heavenly Father by your side.

Missionary Work Isn't EASY

This post is short and sweet. Girls, each time I go with Sister Missionaries either together or doing splits, I learn so much. I always knew that Missionary Work is not easy. I love a quote from Jeffrey R. Holland and that quote shows on the Image below.

If you can't see the Image, it says "I am convinced that Missionary Work is not EASY because Salvation IS NOT a cheap EXPERIENCE. - Jeffrey R. Holland."

My experience with Missionary Work was great and disappointing. Out of around 30 houses that my companion and I had, we found 2 potential investigators. It was a miracle that we found the 1st potential investigator Jessica at House #2 and she is from Vietnam. We found the 2nd potential investigator Wingwong when he was about to go running and he is from China. We met some people from China, Vietnam, South Korea and India. It was cool to meet different backgrounds.

We were also able to help a small Indian family with cleaning such as doing house chores. It was good experience. It's okay to feel rejected when we go door knocking, We weren't there to force anyone to join of what we believe in. We were trying to ask anyone if they would like some help with anything for them and it's for free.

If you can't see the Image above, it's 3 photos of me and 2 photos of me and my companion during the day for doing the splits.

Mother's Day in UK

It was Mother's Day in UK today. My Missionary got a special permission to skype call home. Next Mother's Day in Australia isn't until May 10th, but he will be home. He is so lucky to able to skype call home. This time, I don't know what has spoken about but all the other 3 Skype Calls was mentioned a bit about me.

This year for Mother's Day would be the first Mother's Day that I will be away from home. I wouldn't be able to see my family, so it will be an interesting experience of how that goes. I love a quote about "Mothers" for Happy Mother's Day. I would love to share with you the quote. I'm happy for you to share it.

If you can't see the Image above, it says
"Happy Mother's Day .....
M - Many hugs
O - Only love never anger
T - Teaching me
H - Helping me
E - Every smile when I was sad
R - Raising me to be strong"

I can relate to the quote and I hope you can relate to the quote too. So, many times, my Mum hugs me when it's unexpected. She teaches me a lot. She helps me a lot. Whenever I am sad, she asks "what's wrong?" I know she has been trying her best to help me to be strong when I go through trails, tribulations and weaknesses throughout my childhood years and teen years.

If you can't see the Image above, it's my Missionary and he always looks so happy during Skype Calls home. Another 7 weeks until he comes home. It's exciting to know that he will be home soon.

Girls, don't ever get discouraged if you don't get to join the Skype Call with your Missionary. I never get a chance to, but my Missionary's Mum tells me what has been said and mentioned through the Skype Call. It will be exciting to see him again in person after his mission.

Dreams Into Plans

This post is short and sweet. I encourage you to have tissues nearby because this post may make you cry. We all used to have can'ts sayings to things such as "I can't do that because my Missionary is gone." We all have dreams that we all could turn into plans.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "She turned her CAN'TS into cans and her dreams into PLANS."

Girls, we all have dreams that we want to turn them into plans. When we have plans, we need to act upon those plans and set time frames about how long would it achieve those planes. We could always ask Heavenly Father for assistance, guidance, help and support. We could always try our best to ask our Missionaries about what they think about our plans. I remembered before my Missionary left, he asked me "What are your plans for this year?" and it was the year that he left he asked me. He was very supportive towards me and my plans that I have made.

During his mission, it makes me think about that question for last year and this year. It made me realised that I wasn't able to achieve of the plans for 2013 and last year. Towards end of last year, has made me realised that I need to put more trust into Heavenly Father and ask him more for guidance, help, support and assistance. As for this year so far, I was able to achieve so much more by doing more effort for those plans that I have decided to do for this year.

Everything takes time. Everything takes effort. There are some things in life may last for a lifetime and other things may not last for a lifetime. It's like how we could lose friends while waiting for our Missionaries or while doing life changing experiences such as Missionary Work. Continue to stay strong.

Between Hope and Faith

This post is short and sweet. This post is based on a song called "Fine Lines by Kent Moran" and it's a song that played during a section from a movie called "Listen To Your Heart."

Girls, I encourage you all to think about the following questions;
What is Hope? What does Hope means to you?
What is Faith? What does Faith means to you?

Hope can mean to someone else around you.
Faith can mean to someone else around you.

Below is the Video of the song. I hope you can see the Video.

If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below
www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjLnHut6sc8

What did you think about when listening to the song if you did listened to it? If you haven't heard the song, I encourage you to listen to it in your own time. What was your favourite part of the song?

I love a part of the song. That part of the song is shown on the Image above.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "A fine line between hope and faith. And it starts, with understanding. Sometimes you gotta leave it all behind. Find time, to figure out your life."

It's so true what it says, because almost everything we all need hope and faith and does makes starts to know to understanding what is hope and faith.

I don't see myself without having Hope and Faith in my daily life and I don't see others without having Hope and Faith in their daily lives too. Girls, I don't know what you can get out of this post by reading it. I think the most important would be having the knowledge of Hope and Faith and it's works together well.

Listen To Your Heart

This post is short and sweet. I watched a most recent movie called "Listen To Your Heart." It's a most beautiful movie that I have ever seen. I felt goosebumps and started crying towards the end of the movie. If you haven't seen the movie before, I encourage you to watch the movie and have tissues nearby as you may cry.

Above is a Video of the Trailer for the movie. If you can't see the Video, here's the link, www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA6xT8lHpeg

If you have seen the trailer, what did you think? Do you think that you will watch the movie without your Missionary during the wait? 

If you haven't see the trailer, it is about a guy has falling into a deaf girl and they fall into love for each other. It was so lovely. 

I love what the Image says below. It's so true. 

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Don't listen to the world; they say we're never gonna make it." 

Girls, I strongly encourage you to listen to your heart ALWAYS. What do you feel about the wait? What are you feeling now? Are you feeling happy that you still able to stay contact with your Missionary or not?

I love the song that is also called "Listen To Your Heart." If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below

I hope you all didn't cry while listening to the song. It's alright if you did, and it's so true,

Overcoming Our Mistakes

Girls, I know that we all go through toughest times during the wait. It could be something goes wrong within immediate family to other relatives. It could be something goes wrong within close friends to other friends. Heavenly Father loves all of his children, even when they misbehave most times. We all learning from our mistakes daily and nightly. 

This post is based on a Article from Liahona in July 1981 called "Overcoming Our Mistakes by Lowell L. Bennion." I love the Image below.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "It is not possible to MAKE REAL CHANGE all by ourselves. - Julie B, Beck." 

It's so true and we always need to ask Heavenly Father for assistance, guidance, help and support to make real change happen. We also always need to act upon the real change and continue make a habit of changing.

I will share with you some highlights that I loved during reading the article. 

"The second suggestion I have is that we ought to realize that no matter what we’ve done in life, no matter what we do, God and Christ still love us just as much as they did before we failed. God and Christ do not separate themselves from the sinner, from the wrongdoer.

I remember a missionary who had just recently returned from the mission field who came into the Institute of Religion when I was there. He had committed a grave mistake that caused him to think that his life was ruined forever. And I said to him, “God loves you just as much today as he did last Thursday,” and he couldn’t believe it. The thought had never occurred to him. He wept like a child. You know, sometimes we think that God loves us to the extent that we please him, to the extent that we’re good boys and girls, good men and women. Love from God is not earned. It is not merited; if it is, it is justice and reciprocity and reward. Love comes from a loving heart, and God’s love is unconditional. And he loves the worst of us and the best of us equally, I believe. We cause him to suffer when we do wrong, when he sees us live our lives in ways that destroy us, and when he sees us hurting other people—this must cause him pain.

Therefore, the reason we have to repent is to be able to forgive ourselves and to be able to get in harmony again with the principles and laws of good living. We don’t have to repent to earn God’s love, even though some scriptures portray him as being very angry with the sinner. Others portray him as angry with sin, not with the sinner.

Another way to overcome the past is to make amends. We know when we’ve done wrong, but sometimes we’re afraid to go to those whom we’ve wronged. We are too proud to admit our failures. But when we have the courage to do it, we find that a great reconciliation takes place. It’s the offended person’s responsibility to react to our efforts to be reconciled. And when we can’t compensate a person for a wrong, when it’s too late or impossible, then we can bless other people. We all belong together in this world. We’re brothers and sisters with the same Eternal Father; we belong to the same human community. There are others we can bless, though we can’t repair the damage we may have done to some of his children."

In your own time, you can read the whole talk, Here's the link below, and I hope you will enjoy reading it.

www.lds.org/liahona/1981/07/overcoming-our-mistakes

Always try to find time and talk to whoever is making the mistake. Tell them how you feel, be honest and don't be afraid to share with him or her or them this article. It takes a lot of progress of repenting if the mistake doesn't get dealt straight away.

Hug, Laugher, Smile and Love

I have waited over 2 years to see my Missionary again, and I actually don't have an idea when it would be the best time to see him again. 

I love the Image below. If you can't see the Image, it says "Hug harder, Laugh Louder, Smile bigger, love longer."

--> to the girls for waiting for their Missionaries to leave. PLEASE MAKE SURE that you will go to heaps of activities (including dances) together, attend heaps of events together, get heaps of photos together (even silly ones), get heaps of videos together (even silly ones), attend Institute together, attend one or a few sessions at the Temple (if you are a member) and go on cute dates with him (even have picnics together at parks and beaches).

--> to the girls for waiting for their Missionaries to come home. PLEASE accept hugs from guy friends (it's great, and you don't have to have feelings from them), always smile (being happy always the best) and always laugh at any silly jokes.

I also love the Image below.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "One of the best feelings in the world is when you hug someone you love, and they hug you back even tighter." 

It's so true, I loved received hugs that are tight and long. Most times, those types of hugs makes me don't want to let go. I have to let go of those hugs because it's either the other person has to go or I have to go. It is definitely worth it to get those type of hugs whenever I am feeling down and happy. I recommend you to get those hugs during the wait and it helps you to feel comfort and secure.

Girls, I encourage you not to think about the hugs isn't a good idea during the wait. I always loved and appreciated of ALL OF THE HUGS that I have received during the wait. I also encourage you that you will always love and appreciate of all the hugs that you will receive during the wait. Everything will be okay.

Love Me or Let Go

Often times, I think about a line of the lyrics to a song called "Run Away with Me by Elizabeth South." It relates to us. I encourage you to watch the Video of the song below.

If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below
www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNiKiOYNP2s

The one of the lyrics to the song that I think about is shown on the Image below.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Will you love me or let me go?"

Girls, I think about that line because it relates to us. Will your Missionary love you while he is gone? or Will your Missionary let you go, move on and meet someone new while he is gone? Sometimes, I try my best to ask a few girls if their Missionaries knows that they are waiting for them and also to ask if their Missionaries asked them to wait. It can be hard to find out what Missionaries really wants just before he gets set apart.

One of my guy friend's Mum thought that him and I was dating and she didn't want him to get distracted before his mission and during his mission, I tried to explained to her that him and I are friends. She didn't understand.

Girls, if your Missionary hasn't left for his mission, I strongly encourage you to ask your Missionary what he feels about you, what does he sees the future with (is it with you or someone else better), if he would like you to wait, etc. I know it can be hard to find time. I think I didn't find enough time to ask my Missionary before he left. I wished I did asked him. During his Mission, on his 7th month, he emailed me to mentioned about what he thinks about me. It felt it was too late. Get a chance now, don't leave until after he leaves for his mission.

Other girls, I encourage you to ask your Missionary about what he thinks about you at this present.

Choose This Day

This post is based on a April 2007 General Conference talk called "This Day by Henry B. Eyring." I loved listening and watching the Video below. If you have 5 minutes now or find 5 minutes in your spare time, I encourage you to watch the Video.

If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below
www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Cw8I8eukaI

Girls, what did you think about the Video if you did watch it? What did you learn from watching the Video? Do you like the Video?

I will be sharing with you some highlights that I liked while reading the talk. "The quiet invitation to you may be to do so simple a thing as to forgive someone who has offended you. You can do that from a hospital bed. It may be to go to help someone who is hungry. But if you decide not to wait until you have more strength and more money, and if you pray for the Holy Spirit as you go, you will when you arrive know what to do and how to help someone even poorer than you are. You may find when you get there that they were praying and expecting that someone like you would come, in the name of the Lord.

For those who are discouraged by their circumstances and are therefore tempted to feel they cannot serve the Lord this day, I make you two promises. Hard as things seem today, they will be better in the next day if you choose to serve the Lord this day with your whole heart. Your circumstances may not be improved in all the ways which you desire. But you will have been given new strength to carry your burdens and new confidence that when your burdens become too heavy, the Lord, whom you have served, will carry what you cannot. He knows how. He prepared long ago. He suffered your infirmities and your sorrows when He was in the flesh so that He would know how to succour you.

You may remember the scripture: “I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you.

By serving Him this day, you will come to know Him better. You will feel His love and appreciation. You would not want to delay receiving that blessing. And feeling His love will draw you back to His service, wiping away both complacency and discouragement.

As you serve Him, you will come to know better the voice by which you shall be called. When you go to sleep at the end of a day, the words may come back in memory: “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things.”

I love the Image above. If you can't see the Image, it says "Hard as things seem today, they will be better in the next day if you choose to serve the Lord this day with your whole heart. - Henry B. Eyring."

Throughout All Eternity

I haven't been on Pinterest for awhile. I decided to go on and saw an Image that I liked. It was someone who I have been following for a short time. I will share with you the Image that I saw and it comes along with a caption.

“Material possessions and honors of the world do not endure. But your union as wife, husband, and family can. No sacrifice is too great to have the blessings of an eternal marriage. By making and keeping sacred temple covenants, we evidence our love for God, for our companion, and our real regard for our posterity—even those yet unborn. Our family is the focus of our greatest work and joy in this life; so will it be throughout all eternity.” – Russell M. Nelson.

I absolutely love it and it's so true. I 100% agreed with him.

Girls, I encourage you to think about what Russell M. Nelson said. You could think about "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" Maybe you could share this Image with the caption to your non-member friends. I pinned it on Pinterest and I have some non-member friends who are following me.

I apologised that I have not much to say about this post.

Mountains to Climb

I went to my Relief Society President's house to be with some members of my ward, the ward Missionaries and my family (not including my Dad). It was good 2 hours of my time. There was a few games that was played, there was 2 Mormon Messages that was shown, there was dinner and there was dessert.

I encourage you to watch a  Video now that is called "Mountains to Climb" and it's a great Mormon Message.

If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below 

www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdN8rfwW3S

I know for the last few posts has been similar but that's okay. We all have mountains to climb, either going through the trails or tribulations or let downs or struggles or all of them along the way but that's okay. Always remember to pray to Heavenly Father to talk to him how you have been feeling, what you are thankful for today, asking him about anything and anything else.

I will share with you an experience, I was having a hard time to stay focus in Institute, I prayed and asked for learning new things in Institute. I stayed focused in Institute and I was able to learn a lot.

I loved what the Image below says.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "If we have faith in Jesus Christ, the hardest as well as the easiest times in life can be a blessing. In all conditions, we can choose the right with the guidance of the Spirit. The Savior has [even] promised angels on our left and our right, to bear us up and He always keeps His word. - Henry B, Eyring."

It's so true, there was so much in my mind what to say but I don't know how to say it in post. I apologise about that.

You Deserved More

This post is short and sweet.

Sometimes it may hurt when we read text messages or answer phone calls or read Facebook messages or read emails from someone in a long our past. Don't allow it get to you and don't find a corner to hide and cry. Go and tell someone who cares when it happens. I encourage you to try your best to avoid reading the text messages or avoid answering the phone calls or avoid reading the emails or avoid reading the Facebook messages  I know it can be hard, but that's okay if you can't.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "you deserve more." It's so true.

Girls, we all go through tough times, we all go through sad times, we all go through happy times, we all go through fun times and we all go through other times in our lives. It's okay to go through all of those times, it's the natural man. You all deserve more than anything and you all deserve to become happy often. I also would like to share with you all another Image that is shown below.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Be strong enough to let go and patient enough to wait for what you deserve."

What do you think that means "Be strong enough to let go and patient enough to wait for what you deserve." to you and others around you? I think it could be like making sacrifices while waiting for what I deserve. You can give up some of your time to email your Missionary or write letters to your Missionary or make packages for your Missionary. In return, your Missionary could do the same thing for you.

YOU ALL DESERVE MORE!!

Past Mistakes and Failures Rest In

This post is based on a song that I love, called "Pieces by Meredith Andrews." It is definitely a great song to listen to or read the lyrics. I strongly encourage you to listen to the song now or in your own time. This post is short and sweet.

Here's the Video below.

If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vs2kAnh5KY

There is a section part of the Lyrics that I liked while listening to the song. Below is an Image of the Lyrics that I liked.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Past mistakes and failures rest in who He is, He knows how you to make your pieces fit."

Girls, I encourage you all to think for a few minutes to 5 minutes to ask yourselves of "Why would I read this post?" "Is there more meaningful than I expected?" "What will I learn from reading this post?"

This post also relates to somehow about the Atonement. Jesus Christ suffered and died for all of us. We all need to forget about what happened in the past of our PAST MISTAKES AND FAILURES, and move on with time. I understand it can be hard and difficult time to let go of the past, but that's okay. We always seem to become better and better each day. It's all about progression.

It's time now to think about the present and future. What things could we improve to make a difference in the world today, that I wasn't able to do 3 to 5 years ago?

Surprises

You don't know how much I love surprises. I love getting surprises whenever I am feeling sad and happy. I am happy to share with you what happened this evening and it was a surprise for me.

"This evening was the evening that I was looking forward to. The reason why was because one of my guy friends (who is a RM) has invited me to join a session with him and another friend. I got worried after waiting for him and another friend to arrived. They didn't turned up, so I called my guy and he wasn't answering his phone.

So I left a Facebook message to tell him how long have I been waiting for him. I called him again and hoped that he will answer. He still didn't answer my phone call. Eventually, he sent me a message through Facebook to ask me if I got his text message yesterday and I mentioned to him that I haven't. I restarted my phone and the text messages that he has sent me yesterday has arrived.

Text Message #1 mentioned that him and another friend will have to pull out of the temple trip for this week. He sent me 2 other text messages. I was overreacting and felt down inside. As I walked outside of the Temple, I saw a wave from that guy friend from a distance. All a sudden, I got all surprised, happy and cheerful. After I walked to him and I was about to sit down where he was sitting, he gave me a hug and made my night so much better. We talked a lot before we both had to leave. Before he leaves, he gave me another hug."

I learnt from that experience of what the Image says below.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "Life is so extraordinary. Wonderful surprises are just around the most unexpected corners. - Rosamunde Pilcher."

Girls, I encourage you to accept surprises from anyone. It surely does makes me happy and cheerful. Don't allow surprises brings you down. Appreciate all the surprises that you receive while waiting for your Missionary to come home.

She Waits For You

This post is based on a song called "Always by Peter Bradley Adams." I suggest you to have tissues nearby because this post may make you cry. This post is short and sweet. I thought this post will relate to you somehow during the wait when you are waiting for your Missionary.

I encourage you to listen to the song. Here's the video below.

If you can't see the Video above, here's the link below.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN5tsJ5xhVY

Think about this question "What did you think about the song if you did listened to it?" I love a section of lyrics. Those lyrics are shown on the Image below.

If you can't see the Image above, it says "You've been away too long But she will choose to believe and her heart is so strong. It's strong enough, If only it could see always, always she waits for you."

Well 2 years is long enough to wait. You will choose to believe that the wait is worth it or not at the end. Your heart is so strong whenever you reject another guy who asks you for a date during the wait.

New Week

This post is short and sweet. I encourage you to think about the next following questions.

"Do you ever reflect of your previous week?"
"What did you achieved last week?"
"What was your goals last week?"
"What are your goals this week?"

Each week is a new week. 

If you can't see the Image above, it says "New Week, New Goals, New Challenges, Continued Success."

I hope you did think about the questions at the start. I always try my best to reflect my previous week, what was my goals and what I was able to achieved. I challenge you to write in a journal or somewhere that you can see it to "Name one thing that you would like to challenge yourself to do better this week." It could be anything, it could be a big thing and it could be a small thing. My one thing would be "Stay focused in Institute Class."

This section is the girls are members of the Church. "Girls, do you always try to remember the Sacrament Prayers? Do you remember the part where it says we promised to remember the Saviour during the week. Are you doing it? Are you remembering the Saviour during your week? I always try my best to show others Christlike Attributes and I know it's not always easy."

Other girls, I encourage you to attend Church often even if you haven't been to Church since your Missionary left. It will be a great blessing to see you become a member while your Missionary is gone. I know it can be hard that you want your Missionary to baptise you but once you become a member, you will be able to do so much more.

I have nothing else to say, other than always think about "Each week is a new week."
