Winter Coldness!

So Christmas with the family was awesome. Just opening presents with the family, and having a yummy dinner; and just being able to be lazy all day and not have to go anywhere! Ah it was nice! Saturday I went to lunch with friends from high school; and then I went shopping which was a lot of fun. Then I went and watch Invictus with a friend in my ward. That was such a good movie, the ending kind of dragged on a bit, but it was fun to get out of the house!

Sunday went to church, then came home had dinner with my family. Then we had family home evening and the lesson was very good. It was on Ann M. Dibb her talk was called Hold On. She quoted President Monson and he said "Remember that you are entitled to our (Heavenly) Father's blessings in this work. He did not call you to your privileged post to walk alone, without guidance, trusting to luck. On the contrary, He knows your skill, He realizes your devotion, and he will convert your suspposed inadequacies to recognized strengths. He has promised: 'I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up' " ("Sugar Beets and the Worth of a Soul," Liahona, July 2009, 3-4; Ensign, July 2009, 5-6).

When I read something like that I feel so blessed to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, it also gives me a lot of hope to keep holding on, and if we do the best that we can and keep our covenants then our testimonies will be strengthened . I also loved the quote " We must hold on tight to the iron rod and never let go."

Today I went with my mother and watched the Blind Side and that is such a good movie. It dealt with Christian values which I thought was awesome and I should do better in my own life, because I know better!

It also has been really cold where I live. I also enrolled for another semester of school, I just hope I have enough money!
