The Baptism of Adam Frost



On Tuesday, April 15th, one of my best friends, Adam Frost was baptized into the Church of Jesus christ of Latter Day Saints. It was two months ago that he walked into the singles ward and asked to learn more... One Sunday, after Sunday School, as we were talking, this new kid introduced himself as Adam Frost and told us he wasn't a member of the Church, but was interested in learning more about the "Mormons." As we got to talking with Adam, I really saw his potential and really felt a stron impression that he would soon join the church. As time flew by, Adam met with the Elders and I fellowshipped. Soon Adam began to realize that he could not live without the Church. He was challenged by Elders to read and pray about the Book of Mormon and the principles they were teaching him. After one of the first times that he prayed, he received the answer from our Heavenly Father that he was to be baptized on April 15th! Adam loves the Book of Mormon. As with all converts, Adam was tempted and tried as his date of conversion neared. I thank Adam, the Elders, Sisiter and my Heavenly Father for the chance to be apart of Adam's conversion!!! I love the gospel, my Savior Jesus christ and the chance to become like our Heavenly Father.

My Adventure To Toronto, Canada



This past week I had the opportunity to travel to Toronto, Canada for my job. At first I was nervous to fly and travel internationally alone, but it ended up being the best experience I have had in a long time. The flights to and from the event were long, but I met some great people along the way. Seeing all types of nationalities opened my eyes to an entirely new world!

I met up with Janelle, one of our designers. Janelle is absolutely AMAZING, and I had so much fun traveling, teaching and laughing with her, she truly is an inspiration to me! I also became such close friends with Jaime Harker and Matt with Bo Bunny. The four of us laughed, had pajama parties, watched some not so great movies (thanks Matt) and shopped for the best Canadian Chocolate at Walmart. I tried Humpty Dumpty Ketchup chips for the first time. It was a great 4 days out of the country, experiences that I will not soon forget. Thanks Janelle, Jaime and Matt for the memories!!!
