Read this blog post from Greg Trimble, I loved what he had to say about the Book of Mormon. "SO YOU THINK THE BOOK OF MORMON IS A FRAUD?" by Greg Trimble here is the original blog post I can still remember the exact spot I was sitting when I knew the Book of Mormon was true. I was in a beach chair on my balcony in Corona Del Mar, California waiting to go surfing. I had just recently started a serious investigation of the Church when I first began reading the Book of Mormon. As I began my study…I realized that the most important thing I could do is find out whether or not the Book of Mormon was true. People that oppose the Church hate when someone says, “I know the Book of Mormon is true”…but I don’t know how else to say it. I  know the Book of Mormon is true.  (Begin jeering at the cliche’) I’m not going to leave it at that though…I’ll tell you how I know it’s true. This wasn’t something that I figured out over night. For me…I wanted some evidence and it wasn’t eno...

http://vimeo.com/82104871  Okay guys, if you have read my other Transgender related post you know that I am completely supportive of these people making a transition in order to feel okay with themselves and in order to love themselves. Obviously there are a lot of people out there in the world who don't understand anything about Transgender people, and there are people who do not want to even try to understand-- they would rather keep on judging and hating rather then start loving and accepting because they are afraid for some reason or another. A lot of people use the card "God hates Gay/Transgender people" which is complete and total B.S. God doesn't hate anyone at all, and if you believe that in a God that hates any type of person then I feel sorry for you, because that means he would hate you too. See the thing is, no where in the bible does it say God hates gay people or transgender people. NO WHERE, yes it does say marriage should be between a man in a women ...

Here I come Provo, Today is the last day living on the East Coast for the next 6 months! I can't believe its already here and tomorrow is the beginning of my cross country road trip to Utah. You know life likes to throw you all sorts of directions, and the plans we make get torn apart and we have to reevaluate our lives and come up with something completely different then originally anticipated. Like this whole moving to Utah thing... not what I had in mind for my life right now. I used to say I will never move to Utah, I will never live in Utah, I cannot stand living in Utah. And what ends up happening? I choose  to move to Utah and not just Utah... but Provo, UT. The home of BYU, the land of the LDS. Everything I thought I would never want for a place to live ever, even if it was just six months. My life plan was to go on a mission, and you know I got pretty close to accomplishing that goal, I turned my papers in, I met with all the leaders that I needed to meet with, and I got...

Okay, I have done one blog post for all of march! And its the last day of march!! This I guess will be the second blog post I do for this month, and then I'll catch up on everything in April. Life has been so crazy! So I've been too busy to write anything for my blog lately. Not too many people actually read this blog, its more just a personal thing I do to write out my thoughts, share videos, write poetry and rant about life and things that I wouldn't share on facebook or anything like that. In a way this blog is like an online journal, and honestly having a blog is very therapeutic and is a great way to get your thoughts out there, no matter if people read it or not. So now that little rant is over! Lets talk about something really amazing and big that just happened in my life!! In my last blog post I said that I was turning in my mission papers! And I did! I sent them in like 3 weeks ago and guess what!!!! I got my mission call on Friday the 28th of  March!!! Which is...
