For the Strength of Youth

My church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) just created an amazing website for the youth of our church. It has all kinds of stuff on it that is absolutely great for the youth of today to be able to use as a resource and put on the armour of God to fight the daily battle against Satan. Go to this link to visit the website https://beta.lds.org/youth?locale=eng

I am so glad that God did not send me to this world to wander around aimlessly wondering what I should be doing with my life. He has given us the Holy Scriptures as a guide on how to live our lives to be able to return to Him. He has also given us modern day prophets to guide us in the world today. One of the things that our modern day prophets have given us is the For the Strength of Youth booklet. When I was a youth I was very aware of this book, but I was more annoyed by it than anything. I was annoyed because it basically had all of the answers in it on how we should be living our lives and what we should do when we encounter specific situations and I knew that there were some changes that I needed to make in my life. I have recently gained a strong testimony of the importance of this booklet. If we follow the teachings in this booklet, then we will not fail. It is just like following a tried and true blue ribbon recipe. If you follow the recipe, then you will get pleasing results, if you don't follow the recipe, then the outcome will be unknown and sometimes a disaster. I think everyone should use this booklet as a guide for their lives along with the scriptures of course. This book is an amazing parenting tool too.

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
