Go often to the Temple.I went to the Temple today, and I felt the Spirit so strongly; it was a wonderful experience. I was filled with joy to serve those who had passed on to the next life.Go often to the Temple.3 months ago in Personal More Like This
I felt the Lord talking to me as I left the Temple because I was worried that by returning to the world, I'd lose that happiness and joy I received for doing baptisms for the dead.
The Lord comforted me, saying: "Do not fear, but have faith. I will help you keep that feeling in your heart."
I highly recommend that you go often to the Temple--as often as you can--because the experiences you receive there, and the feeling of the Holy Ghost in your heart are priceless. Make sure to write them in your journal, too, so you do not forget.

But, nevertheless, I'm actually enjoying my new married life so far, despite the confusion of living situations, family and friends, and other activities. However, I'll probably just be posting these blogs in bulk if the chaos and confusion continues, lol. I apologize ahead of time if it ever comes to that. I may just even spam people of blogs until I get on the right track.
Anyways, here is the blog I was supposed to post between the last two weeks. XD Enjoy!

John 13:34-35
1. According to John 13:34-35, how can others know if we are disciples of Jesus Christ?
Others will know that we are disciples of Jesus Christ by following his new commandment: Love one another. If we show others our love to them, not taking into account of what kind of people they are or what they have done, they will know that we are disciples of Jesus Christ.
2. List some specific ways a disciple of Jesus Christ might respond in the following situations (in accordance to John 13:34-35):

Luke 10:38-42; 11:1-13; 12:13-40; 13:23-24; 14:16-33
1. We must be willing to listen to the words of the Lord, and make that our top priority; pray always; give charity/service/love to one another; ask and seek for truth/revelation; beware of covetousness, never doubt, seek the kingdom of God, be prepared and watch for the second coming; strive to enter in at the strait and narrow gate into the celestial kingdom; be obedient, welcome those less fortunate, love the Lord more than anyone else, do not procrastinate, build a firm foundation for your faith, forsake everyone and everything for the Lord’s sake.
Those who follow him will be able to get through the gates of heaven and be able to live and claim their heavenly treasures and estate in the kingdom.
2. One thing that I would like to work on and apply to my life more is to never doubt... or procrastinate. I s

SO anyway let's get this thing officially rolling! YEAH! Before work pulls me into the abyss again.
We're going to be working on silhouettes!
ex: http://i396.photobucket.com/albums/pp45/Elyzius/cartoon_silhouettes.gif , http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m173a59xhg1qcbajko1_1280.jpg
A silhouette is the image of a person, an object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single colour, usually black, its edges matching the outline of the subject.
"When an object's silhouette is difficult to make out, we have a tough time keeping track of what we're seeing. It's why so many comics and drawings use the visual shorthand out outlining figures and objects. The shades and values of an object are secondary to the basic shape when it comes to recognition. As such, effectively managing silhouettes is a vital tool for visual narratives." - Aaron Diaz

feeling happy and smiling ^^I have to say that I rarely care if someone thinks I’m beautiful or not, but I know it’s a problem a lot have. And even if some don’t this also helps how you feel as a person and help your self-esteem in a way. I was thinking about this lately and figured someone might be able to benefit from reading about something that happened to me.feeling happy and smiling ^^1 year ago in Personal More Like This
When I was in 4th grade I had moved, once again, to a new neighbor hood and I felt kind of lonely, sad, depressed. I continued to feel the same in 5th grade as well, and it probably would not have changed if my mom hadn’t forced me to join the band at my elementary school. So after school I would go to band and after band, due to the after school activities, I would have to walk around the school and not through it. In walking around it I also walked right passed the Stake President’s house. (He is actually in my ward J ) Most of the times when I would walk past his house, farther down the sidewalk, I would often find
Scripture Memorizing for the Visual-KinestheticOr, for those of us who can/could never memorize scriptures by just repeating them over and over verbally.Scripture Memorizing for the Visual-Kinesthetic1 year ago in Personal More Like This
Three things before I start:
One: if you would like to know what kind of learner you are (auditory, visual, and kinesthetic/tactile are the main ones.) you can go here for an assessment. I really suggest doing this because knowing what kind of learner I am has helped me immensely in studying.
Two: This method will take up quite a bit of paper, so use scrap paper, or when school sales roll around, buy some packs of notebook paper. You can usually get them for about 50 cents.
Three: Sorry this is so long.
First off, we need the scripture we’re going to memorize. I’m going to pick a short-ish one for an example: 2 Nephi 32:3.
This method trades off between saying the scripture aloud, and writing the scripture as you say it aloud.

Sunday Story - I Am a ChristianWhen I say..."I am a Christian"Sunday Story - I Am a Christian7 months ago in Personal More Like This
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I was lost"
That is why I chose this way.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
And need someone to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
And pray for strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And cannot ever pay the debt.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are all too visible,
But God believes I'm worth it.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
Which is why I speak His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

Today, I basically got asked why I don't like Cesar Milan.
This man, his very name, makes me stressed out and nervous. I can't watch his show, I can't even argue about him because he makes me so angry.
and since there's been drama here about him lately, I'm just basically going to repeat everything I said on the stamp I made about him.
Fact:
Cesar Milan is not a trainer. He is not a behaviorist. He is not a dog expert. He is a TV celebrity.
Cesar's methods are based on a study done on captive wolves more than 60 years ago. The wolves in question where all unrelated and being kept in close quarters.

Moving on in lifeThis week has been hell of a week, not going to lie..Moving on in life3 months ago in Personal More Like This
But I am glad it is all over, it was awkward driving back to school early
morning for class, thankfully my professors were very forgiving and patient with me.
I seemed to have forgotten the power of friendship, it was so nice to able to laugh until my sides hurt and return back to my some what immature and mischievous self. My roommate and other good friend have been very kind to me, and even some of the kids from my fencing club. It was really nice to be in good company and just forgot about all the crap that has happened. It is a really nice feeling to know people are there for you, y'know?
I definitely learned who my true friends were this semester.
and a shout out to a few of you deviantART peeps, thanks for being so patient and kind hearted through my emotional times among many in the past.
I'm really sorry if I came off as short, bitchy, moody, angry, *list goes on*

I knew that Doug couldn't play the Critic forever and after 200+ episodes, I was partially preparing myself for the day when he would make THAT announcement and when it did come yesterday, I knew exactly what he was going to say; that he had done everything he could with the character, there was nothing more to be said, it was simply the right time to end it, you know, the usual reasons... it's just that it STILL feels that it happened rather sooner than I was expecting it!
I think we were all in denial about what the original trailers for To Boldly Flee meant by declaring this the Nostalgia Critic's final journey and were hoping that that was just trailer-speak for a metaphorical end rather than a literal one. We can't deny that there were plenty of other signs that the character was being wrapped up but it was easy to believe that we were being paranoid and looking too much into certain scenes and that there would still be a
