FHE AWESOMNESS!!!!

Random is the one word that describes our FHE group this year. We are the weirdest mix of people I have ever met and yet we fit together perfectly.

So Dad came up to us the other day and told us all about our FHE activity this week. It is an oscar night with each group making up and filming their own movies.

The bad part was that there was no general theme to the movies. It could be about anything you wanted it to be. This caused problems because we all had such great ideas that we couldn't decide on just one movie. Thus our creativity came into play and we combined all our great ideas into one phenomenal movie.

Which I have to state won best music at the Oscars and will probably take over the world virally. Yes you are privileged to be seeing this. Here it is, our premiere film titled "A Day in the Life".......................................................

Gingervitus

So I read this off the internet and laughed so hard while reading it...........

here is the website: http://gingerpeople.org/what-is-gingervitis/

1) What is Gingervitus?

Gingervitus is a serious hereditary disease caused by a recessive gene. It can lay dormant for years and two perfectly healthy parents can have Ginger Babies. Gingervitus affects millions of people worldwide. The symptoms of gingervitus include: Red hair, pale skin, and freckles, a “Soulless” feeling. Some Ginger people may show symptoms such as violence and depression. Although Gingervitus is not a life threatening disease it can be very serious. There is currently no known cure and very little treatment for Gingervitus.

2) Is Gingervitis contagious?

No, Ginger people are born with Gingervitus. It is hereditary and cannot be contracted in any other way.

3) Are Ginger people dangerous?

Although some Ginger people may be dangerous, many others are not. Ginger people do have a genetic predisposition towards anger and depression, but this is caused by their appearance and often times amplified by taunting and harassment. Contrary to popular belief, many Ginger people live healthy, happy lives.

4) Do Ginger people have Souls?

Unfortunately no, Ginger people are born without souls. A common misconception is that you need a soul to survive. This is completely false. Ginger people are people just like everyone else, even if they don’t have souls. Many Ginger people live happy, healthy, productive lives devoid of any sort of soul.

5) If a Ginger Person bites me what should I do?

If you have been bitten by a Ginger Person immediately wash the wound with soap and water. If you have alcohol or peroxide apply it to the wound immediately as the effects of gingervitus on non gingers is not fully understood.

HEHEHE.... Apparently I have no soul....Who Knew????

P90X Magic

I am loosing weight!!!! I know shocker right:) Every morning at 6 AM , and sometimes 5:30 depending on the work out we are doing, I get up and work out with my amazing roommate Tairsa. I usually get out of bed and fall oon the living room floor while she is all cheery and peppy...... and I am usually cursing her in my head but I am so grateful to her for helping me to actually wake up in the morning and get stuff done.

I am amazed at the things that I can accomplish in the morning. I had no idea just how much time I was loosing while wasting away in my bed. I am also grateful to her because my pants are now falling off my body!!!!

Usually this would be a bad thing, yes I understand that. However, the silver lining is that I am loosing weight and I can actually do a pull up now!!!!!!!!!! Super exciting!!! The bad part is that none of my clothes fit quite right anymore but that just means SHOPPING TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although this particular trip is going to have to wait until after the 90 days have been completed. That way I will be able to look my best. This summer is going to be fantastic!!!!!

FHE Awesomeness!!!!

Our group is the bomb!!!! We are probably the most random mix of people I have ever met but it is fun anyways. So this past week for ward FHE, we had an Oscars night. Each group was responsible for writing, filming, and editing their own movies. Well me and my roommate Allissa were super excited because we had done this last year too and it was so much fun. The movie we did last year is the infamous Mormon girl video. (If you haven't seen it here is the link....http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=413696692455).

SO this year we knew we had to top it. I have to say I think we came close but I don't think that we topped it. This movie is way different from the last one though. It shows the totally different personalities of our entire group. Hope you like it...................

Oh the life of a college student. The ups the downs and the lack of sleep. I believe I will sleep in on Saturday.Probably not though. I think that I have to get up early that day too. But I am very excited for our dance competition this Friday. I am definitely going to have to get sleep on Thursday night so as to dance my best. I think we have a very good chance.

This week my life has been crazy I think that when I reach Saturday I am going to be dead. There is a ward dance that night though so I want to go to that. Also I may get up to some mischief with my cousin. We shall have to see what happens.

I just keep telling myself that the Lord thinks that I can do this otherwise he would not throw so much at me at one time. So I just have to survive this next week and my life will hopefully become simpler. That is my hope at least!

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

I know that My Redeemer Lives. What a glorious thing to know in these last days! How utterly wasted my life would be without the sure knowledge that I have of this statement. I often find my self thinking of what my life would be like without the gospel. It is a sad picture.

My favorite hymn of the moment (which actually changes quite frequently) is "I know that my Redeemer Lives", it gives me quite a bit of peace to know all the great things that the Savior does for me and the entire world. How fantastic is it that the Savior knows everyone by name and has an infinite love for each one of us.

In Doctrine and Covenants class my professor gave this unique analogy that I have fallen in love with here it is.....

(Infinity) (Infinity)

The worth of a soul= [Atonement x Repentance+Resurrection+Missionary Work] x Joy

-Since the atonement is infinite and in math both sides of the equation have to be equivalent to each other, we can deduce that the worth of one soul is infinite to our Heavenly Father. Thus he suffers each time even one soul is lost in the darkness.

He is always willing to help us with anything that we are having trouble with and is the only person in the entire world that completely understands anything and everything we are going through in our lives.

Another really interesting tidbit that I learned in D&C class was that the only people who can know our thoughts is Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I found this super interesting because I always just assumed that Satan could know our thought and that is how he got us to sin. I was wrong though, apparently my thoughts are my own and no one can know what I am thinking except for Christ and Heavenly Father.

This gives me hope that I am stronger than Satan and can overcome anything and everything that is put in my path to draw me away from the Savior and with Christ's help I can become perfect one day and return to live my Heavenly Father and Mother for eternity.

The glory of singing

So we made friends with this guy in apartment 33 named mike, who apparently has the hardest time waking up in the morning. His freshman year he had a roommate who would always try to wake him up and the only song that would do it was Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On. So my roommate Sydney and I made this video for him. We also in the process kept my roommates awake until past midnight and they still had this song stuck in their head the next morning. I say we did our job well!!!
