God Be With You Til We Meet Again
Yesterday Dad and I dropped Mom and Danica off at the airport! Now they are in Provo, Utah. Danica's going to college at Brigham Young University! I can hardly believe my little sister is a college student. In just 8 days, I'll be leaving for my mission, and reporting to the Provo, Utah, Missionary Training Center (right next door to BYU!). While I'm gone on my mission, Danica will be going to school, and then leaving on her mission! So, I might not see her for a couple years (unless I get to see her in Provo before going into the MTC). I'm sure going to miss this girl! She's incredible! She's talented, kind, hilarious, and all around fantastic. I admire and look up to her so much. She's going to be amazing in college and on her mission and in everything else she does! One of her amazing talents is music! You can find her on youtube as DanicaMarieMusic. She writes awesome songs, like this: http://youtu.be/_mfmVWYpG8k

God be with you all til we meet again!

Who are Mormon missionaries? What do they do?
Hello there! You've probably seen a pair of guys in white shirts and ties riding their bikes, or walking down your street! Or maybe two gals in their skirts and nice shirts with their little name tags and back packs! If you have ever been curious about who missionaries are and what they do, I would recommend watching one or both of these 5 minute videos! Hopefully these links work!

Have miracles ceased?
27 "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased because Christ hath ascended into heaven, and hath sat down on the right hand of God, to claim of the Father his rights of mercy which he hath upon the children of men?
28 For he hath answered the ends of the law, and he claimeth all those who have faith in him; and they who have faith in him will cleave unto every good thing; wherefore he advocateth the cause of the children of men; and he dwelleth eternally in the heavens.
29 And because he hath done this, my beloved brethren, have miracles ceased? Behold I say unto you, Nay; neither have angels ceased to minister unto the children of men."
-the Book of Mormon, Moroni 7: 27-29
In the Old and New Testaments Christ performed miracles; his prophets and apostles taught the people and performed incredible miracles in Christ's name, with God's power. In the Bible we know that God sent prophets to teach His children, all of them, whom He loved so much. He sent prophet after prophet, even after people rejected and killed them. God never gave up on His children. Sometimes He had to wait for a time, until the people were ready and turned to Him- He would never, and will never, force what He has to offer on us- to call a prophet and to bless the people. In the Bible we read about the Holy Ghost which was sent to dwell with the people on earth, so that they would never have to be alone, and would always be connected to their Father. We read about incredible spiritual gifts: healing, the gift of tongues, the gift to testify and use words, gifts of strength, faith, hope, and so much more.
Have any of these things ceased to be? Has God stopped sending prophets? Has God stopped teaching His people? Has Jesus Christ stopped being our Savior? Has he forgotten about us? Has God stopped loving His children? No way! One thing that I know for sure: God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The God of Abraham, of Isaac, of Jacob, of Noah, of Moses, of Adam, is our God. He loves us just as much now as He loved His people then! And He has not ceased to send prophets to guide us. His Son, Jesus Christ, has not ceased to live and to work miracles and to heal us! The Holy Ghost has not ceased to dwell on the face of the earth and in the hearts of the people. God has not ceased to bless His people. And He never will.
Miracles have not ceased. And they are everywhere. Open your eyes, and you will see them. For sure! :D
Life is so GOOD! God is so good.
