What is YOUR duty?

It's late. But, I am learning so much that I had to share it with someone (any readers) or something (the digital world if it never gets read).

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to meet the Savior? Sometimes feels overwhelming to think about! But, know this, the Lord is waiting to redeem Zion.

And guess what! "Our wickedness or righteousness can either impede or accelerate His work" (Doctrine and Covenants Student Manual). So, how can we prepare to establish Zion? One of the ways is the Lord wants us to know our duty more perfectly.

I then thought, well, what IS our duty? I followed the footnote to the Topical Guide, to Doctrine and Covenants 20:68-69. Verse 69 is so cool! I'm really writing this down so I can remember this insight:

And the members shall manifest before the church, and also before the elders, by a godly walk and conversation, that they are worthy of it, that there may be works and faith agreeable to the holy scriptures--walking in holiness before the Lord.

THIS is our duty!

Hey guys!

I'm still alive and kicking in the blogging world! With my calling at church, I get the opportunity to work with amazing sisters and talk about health (yeah, I'm no expert). But, here's the blog if you yearn for my quirky, sentimental comments about life!

Girls Put in X in X Games

This weekend was probably my first, legitimate time on ESPN.com. All the other sporadic times I went on that website don't count because they were probably just to impress some boy that I liked.

This time it was for a much better cause. On Thursday, I was quite disappointed that my spontaneous snowboarding trip didn't happen because of the icy conditions at BYU (if you don't know what I'm talking about, watch this video). Guys, on Tuesday I had successfully landed my first box

Ok...even a little kid can go off a box...

...and gone off my first real jump!

My first jump! Not. This is crazy. 

I was ecstatic to go again! Mother Nature said no. Or more like "wait till next week." In the meantime, I found out that day the X Games were starting!

I'm like those annoying parents that live vicariously through their children. I was living vicariously through those amazing snowboarders! Why? Well, Shaun White is my celebrity crush, even without his  long hair...

And Elena Hight is an inspiration for any female! She landed a trick that no guy has even landed in a half-pipe competition. Watch it here. It's called a backside double rodeo (I think there's a more technical term for it; who cares, it just looks sweet!).

Now, you might not be a snowboarder...yet. But, let me tell you, it's offered me more happiness in the last 2 years than I could fully express. It has seen me through 2 hard break-ups. I can go up in the mountains for the peace, but also for a challenge.

Girls, we put the X in the X Games.
