General Conference

Hey guys! :) This General Conference...wow. I really enjoyed it! I especially loved President Monson's talk about the "Race of Life". In fact, I'm so fancy that I have a link to it:
 http://www.lds.org/general-conference/2012/04/the-race-of-life?lang=eng
We really do need to focus more on the eternal things of life. Other details are insignificant in comparison to what we can be, and what we should stand for.



Oh, and in OTHER news...



Does anyone recognize this handsome young man? Hmmm? Well, I DID! That, my friends, is David Archuleta at the MTC!!! :D I am SO very excited that he's on a mission now! Also, to top the coolness in a way akin to whipped cream, my friend's cousin is in there with him. How about that?

And in other other news, it is with great sadness that I report that the three coolest members (in my opinion) of BYU's Divine Comedy—

        Matt Meese...

   Mallory Everton...

 

and Jason Gray...

Are leaving! LEAVING! GONE! Which makes for a very, very sad Anna...but! Not all is lost. Apparently they're making a show on BYUTV called the Common Room, and that will have them in it. Huzzah!

Easter was great fun. We had the cousins over again, and a rather epic Easter Egg hunt. I also got time to reflect on the Savior on Easter Sunday, which was very special for me. My friend's friend—who is also my friend, so...my friend—got baptized. That was simply amazing, and I hope never to forget it! Of course, the event has been magnificently and closely recorded in my handy-dandy journal, so...'tisn't likely. :) Now, what shall I ramble on about next? Hmm...oh! How 'bout EFY money? :) I have more than a hundred dollars now, huzzah! Yet, still, I must reach that lofty peak of 455 dollars...hmmmm...it shall be done, though, somehow. And if not this year, the next. Anyway, I have other ways to Arise and Shine Forth. Youth Conference is sure to be amazing—we're going to the Hill Cumorah!

While my cousins were over, we had some fun with the webcam...:) As is evident here.

So, peace out, CTR, the church is true, and start working on your Scripture Masteries, you Seminary students. The date is drawing nigh to beat the Bishop! Haha :D I must go back to re-memorizing some stuff, so...au revoir!

For the Sake of Random! :)

Hello, lonely cyberspace! :) It's curious...I was looking through my Stats, and apparently many random people from around the world have stumbled across this blog. Huh. Thank you, whoever you are! You are quite cool, even if it was by accident! I have people from Latvia, Russia, Slovenia, Narnia...well, maybe not Narnia. I digress. Anyways, what's new? Well, we had a Tri-Stake Dance on Saturday that was QUITE epic. I went to bed at about midnight, but it was totally worth it. BYU's Divine Comedy remains epic, I highly suggest you look them up. Also, ARISE! That's the EFY theme this year. Of course, I MAY not be able to go this year, unless I save up $150 dollars in time...hmmm. But, the point is, Arise! Face the day with happiness, and light! Also...brownies are amazing. And also...several projects are due at school, and I'm afraid I'm slipping my tight grip on the "NO PROCRASTINATION" rule by typing this right now, so...be on your way. Adieu!

Mindy Gledhill

Firstly, I shall rant a bit about how amazingly awesome this singer is...I love her songs, which are simple and beautiful, and her voice. Thus, here are some videos...

Big News! :) (Or, should I say, Little News!)

So! THIS year the high school, for their musical, is doing Annie....guess what part I got?

Molly!

MOLLY!!!!

:D Isn't that COOL? I really wanted that part, so I'm super excited. Not that the Internet or people who happened to click on this page even want to know that...;) But I am SO EXCITED!

It should be really fun!
Well, I have to fly...farewell...

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!

Hey guys!! :D MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! I am quite content with what I've received this year...oh, goodness, it's just amazing-ness. And books. LOTS of books. Which means I'll be busy for more than a day reading them, haha :)
I also got a Mindy Gledhill CD—which is SO-OH-OH AWESOME! Because I love, love love her music a whole lot...and other cool stuff.
Just remember though, guys, even with all of the presents and pepped up commercials, and jazzy holiday tunes on the radio...that is not the true meaning of Christmas. The true meaning of Christmas isn't even family, or mutual kindness, although that's getting warmer. I'll give you a hint: It has entirely to do with the first 6 letters of the holiday.
The Spirit of Christmas = The Spirit of Christ

Try to remember that :) And keep it all year round.

Facts you maybe didn't know:
Mary was only fourteen or fifteen when she bore her baby. That is...amazing.
The three wise men didn't come on the night of birth--they actually came maybe two years later.

Cool, right? Have a wonderful holiday, everyone! And enjoy time off from school :D

New BYU's Divine Comedy Video :)

This is a hilarious parody of Michael Jackson's "Bad" called "Good". .....Enjoy. (Obviously, it stars the person in the photo above, Matt Meese.)
