With everything that I do in my life, I always and will try to strive to follow the Savior. It's never been something that I have ever questioned in my mind or had second thoughts about, for any particular reason. While I was attending my NINJA Youth Leadership Conference a few weeks ago, I brought up this question: "What part about it do you not understand?" I've never found myself asking someone this question and wondering if it was even the right thing to ask at the time, but then again I know this gospel is what continues to help me through life's experiences that we all have. NINJA Conference is not much closer to anything like girls camp where you have one night throughout the week to share your thoughts/feelings on what's important to you and striving to always be a little better each day. I know in my heart that this gospel is what continues to bring smiles to my face everyday and I wouldn't ever want to see myself trade it for anything that somebody else thought would've been better. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ so much more than ever before and that is because when I was out at UVU attending my special needs institute class, I absolutely loved feeling the spirit of my Heavenly Father so strongly & kicking off my week in something like that was truly a great experience. I know this life was never meant to be easy for anyone and let alone people who may not have the gospel in their lives, but I am grateful to know that I'm never going to handle anything without being an instrustment in His hands. I am not trying to come across being too preachy or religious here, but as you can already tell this gospel is what gives me hope and strength to overcome my stumbling blocks or what ever it is that is right in front of me. I feel like this past year I have tried to share my spiritual thoughts a little more than I normally do and that is simply because it means so much to me more than a lot of people in my life think it does. I'm truly grateful for the knowledge that I've always believed in to be the only way back to my heavenly home and I am never gonna shy away from it. I know that my trials and obstacles are never going to get any much easier, but I do know in my heart that there is more my Savior, Jesus Christ wants me to understand a little bit better.
