Navuoo is so Beautiful

This weekend I went to Nauvoo with my family. We went to go and see the Cluff fam. We had fun riding a sleigh and a wagon pulled by Clyde steals around to see all the sites. We went to the cultural hall to watch a play the missionary's put on about old Nauvoo. I had so much fun spending time with my family. I had a shaving cream fight with my cousin Angie. We sneaked in on are other cousins and put shaving cream on their hands. We tickled their faces and let’s say it has never worked so well. We were laughing so hard. Then also we got to do baptisms in the Nauvoo temple, which was really cool to do. It was a really big font and my dad was the one doing the baptisms. We visited with the temple president he was a funny guy. We had so much fun playing games and eating. I love Nauvoo and can’t wait to go in the summer with the whole Cluff family! :)

Moving is a adventure!

This month I moved to Nebraska. It has been the biggest adventure in my whole life. When I moved I figured out that Utah is like a little bubble filled with mormons. Because when you leave Utah the world is way different. I, so far have had to be an example to those around me. I have learned to be missionary every single day. I have talked to teachers and non mormon friends about the LDS Church. This has helped me to gain a deeper testimony. I have learned to keep my standards high. One time at my new school I got a note asking if I was single. I passed back and wrote Yes. Then he passed it back. It said "do you want to go to the movies on Friday". I wrote back saying Sorry not until I'm 16. He said "I will be asking you then". I'm so glad that I made choices before that I wasn't going to date before 16. So this has helped me to stand up for what I believe in.
