New Job!!!!
I am hoping by posting this blog that it will not jinx the fact that i got a new job. i am so excited to just have something to do for work.
For those of you that dont know yet i will be starting an new job working at the gas station called All About Food. its a cute little gas station that also has a car was and doggy wash.
part of the job i have to be trained and certified to use the propain filler which is kind of exciting im not going to lie.
its funny how things work out though let me tell you a little story of this job.
last wednesday june 18th
i walked into the gas station where i will be working to get an application. and see if the hiring manager was there. i got the application but the hiring manager was not there so i left.
the next day so last thursday june 16th
I woke up pretty early in the morning i had an interview in pleasant grove at a company called Teleproformance (probably spelled wrong) I went to this interview and was turned down because i am attending one class a week on thursdays at 7:30 pm. Also because i have the hopes of starting school in the fall and they dont work around school schedules. anyway so i left that interview and was pretty bummed out about it.
Not even 20 minutes after leaving that interview i get a call from a number i dont recognize so i answer it. its the gas station calling me to set up an interview. keep in mind that i had not turned in the application it was still sitting on my back seat of the car. they ask me to come in at 4 for the interview.
so i go in at 4 and the interview takes about an hour. which it was kind of an odd interview.
i come home not planning to hear back from them until monday because that was what they had told me.
not even an hour passed by and the manager calls me as asks me if i would like to take the job.
its amazing how things work out when you least expect them to.
I have my heavenly father to thank for it. I am so blessed to have a great sister that supported me through the last few months and great friends that i have made in the last few weeks.
ok so enough about me i just thought i would let you all know the great news

my first talk in church.
~Go Out And Play ~
author unknown:
God’s children went to Him one day
And asked Him, “can we go out and play?
Run in the park, and climb the trees?
Laughing as loud and as long as we please?
But our Heavenly Father shook His head,
And said, “My children, what has gotten into your head?
“If you get dirty and filthy with sin,
I’ll shut the door, you can’t come in.”
But Jesus Christ stepped forward to say,
“Father, let them go out to play.
“I will die for them so they can come in,
“I will suffer their every worry and sin.
“I am willing to go and am willing to teach,
“To serve and to help and to talk and to preach.
“I will not fail you, Father, I will do my part
“So You can welcome them home with all your heart.”
Our Heavenly Father, He said to us, “yes,
“While you go out and play, you will be blessed
“With the gospel to guide you and lead the way
“And help you get through every day.”
And this is the reason we’re here on this Earth,
To show Him our love and show our worth,
To be happy and loving and come back pure white
And be spotless and clean in our Father’s sight.
L. Tom Perry of the quorum of the twelve Apostles in October 2006 General Conference said
“We are not left alone to wander through mortality without knowing of the master plan which the Lord has designed for His children.”
He also states:
“Many people wonder, “Where did we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going?” Our Eternal Father did not send us to earth on an aimless, meaningless journey. He provided for us a plan to follow. He is the author of that plan. It is designed for man’s progress and ultimate salvation and exaltation.”
As you can see President Whiting ask me to speak on the plan of salvation when first given the topic I thought it would be easy and I would have no problems at all with it. Then I realized it was like writing a paper for school I had two weeks to write a talk to give in sacrament and having never given one I had no idea where to start on writing one. I didn’t feel the spirit guiding me just yet.
So I knelt a prayed for guidance on where to go with this talk. As most of you don’t know I am the type of person that doesn’t easily listen to that still small voice so heavenly father tends to have to speak to me in other ways.
For instance the Wednesday before general conference I lost my ring that I wear on my right hand I never take it off. The ring is a gift and a promise in one when it was given to me by My dad as a promise I made to him to keep myself pure until marriage I wear the ring as a reminder of that promise. This wouldn’t be the first time it was lost but for some reason it really bothered me that I could not find it. Well after searching for it for two days I finally decided that it was time to stop looking for it and hope that it would show up.
The weekend passed and no ring. So I just figured it was gone and I was ready to accept it. Well Monday came and I went on a trip to the cities for a couple of days. When I got back Wednesday evening my ring was sitting on the counter in the bathroom.
I was very relieved to have it back.
The reason I share this story with you is because the plan of salvation is kind of the same heavenly father set forth a plan for us.
As I stated in my story it was not the first time it had been lost. Most of us have had different opportunities in our life some we make the right choice and it leads us on the same path while others times we choose the wrong one and it leads us astray but every time we relies that we have gone in the wrong direction heavenly father is always sitting there when we turn around no matter how far we go and this is why
Before the creation He presented the plan to us, we all had the opportunity to say yes or no to it.
After presenting the plan and us accepting the plan he put his plan into action.
The first step being the creation, on the sixth day of creation he created man.
Genesis 1:26-27 says
“26¶And God said, Let us bmake cman in our dimage, after ourelikeness: and let them have fdominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27So God created man in his own aimage, in the image of God created he him; male and bfemale created he them.”
He then placed the Man (known as adam) and the woman (known as eve) into the Garden of Eden. Gave them very few instructions on what they where to do. The Biggest in my opinion was not to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Well as stated In Gen 3:1-6
“1Now the aserpent was more bsubtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, cYea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3But of the fruit of the atree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4And the serpent said unto the woman, aYe shall not surely die:
5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then youraeyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, bknowing good andcevil.
6And when the woman saw that the tree was good for afood, and that it was bpleasant to the eyes, and a tree cto be desired to make one wise, she took of the dfruit thereof, and did eeat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did feat.”
Once Adam and eve ate of the fruit.
But before that serpent could tempt eve Heavenly father had to give them the Gift of Free agency. So with that gift she was able to make the choice to do wrong.
After making the choice to sin adam and eve then could see the difference between good and bad so they then covered there bodies with cloths and Heavenly father cast them out of the garden.
We have to remember that this was all part of his plan and we cannot blame adam and eve. For sin on earth.
After they where cast out of eden we then needed a savior to come and be sacrificed for our sins. So quite a few years later Heavenly father sent his Son Jesus to the earth to live as the only man in human flesh with no sin. He then was cruisified and bleed for our sins.
The next part of the plan was to restore the gospel on the earth in its fullness, which in the early 1800 a young boy of the name Joseph Smith knelt and prayed seeking for guides of the true church. That was the start of the restoration. He then in the following years translated the book of morman, organized the church and sealed his testimony by being martered in Carthage, illanois on June 27, 1844
After The gospel was restored it is stated in scripture so we now know that to be saved we must first place our faith in heavenly father, Be Baptised, and Receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
In return of our salvation Heavenly Father asks us To always strive to be worthy of his celestial glory,
For the younger ones here this it means to obey your parents and strive to be temple worth, paying your tithing.
For those that are a little older it means to strive to be temple worth, receive the blessings of the temple, and always strive to be worthy to partake of the sacrament in doing so we renew the covenants made a baptism.
With that I want to leave you with my testimony that I know that the church is the true church I have been through a lot and everytime I seem to second guess it I am reassured it is the right church. I also know that the prophet is the true prophet of God, I bare you my testimony that if we strive to fulfill his plan that I have mentioned that we will return to see our heavenly father someday.
I found a poem that was written
FROM William Wines Phelps TO JOSEPH SMITH: THE PROPHET. Called
GO WITH ME.
Go with me, will you go to the saints that have died, —
To the next, better world, where the righteous reside;
Where the angels and spirits in harmony be
in the joys of a vast paradise? Go with me.
Go with me where the truth and the virtues prevail;
Where the union is one, and the years never fail;
Not a heart can conceive, nor a natural eye see
What the Lord has prepared for the just. Go with me.
Go with me where there is no destruction or war;
neither tyrants, or slanderers, or nations ajar;
where the system is perfect, and happiness free,
and the life is eternal with God. Go with me.
Go with me, will you go to the mansions above,
Where the bliss, and the knowledge, the light, and the love,
And the glory of God do eternally be?—
Death, the wages of sin, is not there. Go with me.
Nauvoo, January, 1843.
I leave this to you in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Remembering the little things.
Four years ago in june my dad wrote me a letter that was given to me at laura light camp. last week i lost my covenant ring and in searching for it i came across this letter i thought i had gotten rid of it.
i would like to share this letter with you all its defiantly from my dad. the person that ask him to right this letter the point was to show our strong points and remind us that we are important.
he starts off the letter with
Hello Sarah-
well you are a challenging person, and thats for sure. You always have a strong opinion on most all things!
you are a good worker and have a lot of self drive. It has always been difficult to get you to change your mind. once you have decided on a course of action all I have been able to do is make suggestions! A very strong willed person you are sarah!
you like pink, and color by numbers art work. oh yes! Big fuzzy house shoes are something you like.
Hillary Duff movies are all around the house (your favorite)!
i would say that you are a very nice young lady who enjoys life and can be a lot of fun to be around, but you need friends who will stand up to you and let you know what they need and expect from you!
and some day when you find that right man in your life?... He needs to be a strong and understanding man, who will listen to your needs and allow you the space you need, to be part of his. Thats in the Bible!
when other girls are painting there bedrooms pink and pastel with little red hearts all over, you paint yours orange with yellow flowers and green trim.
Go get them sarah!
your DAd
he put his little smiley face at the end.
it always amazed me that even though my dad had 10 kids he knew how to make each and everyone of us special to him and all of us to have our own time together.
I miss you everyday Dad.
i cant believe its only been a year sometimes its seems like forever sense you have been gone.
love you

Rant!!
sorry guys but i need to vent for a little bit. This past year has been a crazy adventure for me. sense january 2010 i have gone from dating to engaged to calling off the engagement. i went from two parents to one parent living. i have moved from minnesota to utah back to minnesota and i am planing on moving back to utah once more.
today i had a mental break down thinking about all those things and i reliesed sometimes i wish i could control my life and everything that happens to that it would all be happy and have no sad sides. but then i also thought without the sad and the lonely how can you have they happy.
the past few months have had there ups and downs this last month mostly being downs but it has had great benefits to it as well. I have found who is really supportive of me and who isn't have have found out who i really have to lean on to get the right answers.
as for now im spending a lot of time preparing and planing my trip back to utah. however i cant control the weather that week, i cant control wether my car will make it or not but if i pray and believe i can make it i know in my heart that heavenly father would never put me in a place that i cant get out of.
I know this post is really random but i have had a lot of things running through my head today and i cant handle it so i decided i needed to get a few out.

My Thoughts on Life in the moment...
Sense visiting home in January I have noticed a few things that I didn't like about being in Minnesota. The biggest one is not having friends that are closer to my age. I have also more recently struggled with home sickness yet again I don’t know if growing up if you ever completely get away from being homesick.
as most of you know not very long after coming back in January i decided that i was going to stick it out until after tax season and then i was going to move on and find a new nanny job. Well starting the end of February i started looking and applying for jobs.
i guess i should have talked to Michele about this because she found out through a friend that I was planning on leaving which is not the way I wanted her to find out. Then the fun began it started out with my Michele just being a little angry and not really talking to me, then it came to a point where i have two families interested and want to meet me in person so i went and talked to Michele about it she said that they could work something out and would try and be supportive of me. so I told the families just that, One of the families gave me exact dates to come and see them so I went back to Michele with those dates and she said ok we will work something out. Twenty minutes later she texted me telling me that she didn't want me going.
After that I emailed her an email and I thought I was pretty nice for how angry I was with her saying that I was going to take the interview and that I was only asking for a few days its not like the end of the world. She didn't like being put back in her place I guess because her and Brian came and talked to me about it. She told me I was very childish with how I approached and handled the situation and that I need to grow up.
Then she went off on a rampage about how angry she was with me and stated that she would just fire me but she is so busy at work that she couldn't handle not having a nanny. She also said that she had plenty of girls waiting to replace me. Then she went off to say how I needed to apologies for what I did. I don’t feel sorry for the way I acted I thought I handled it and treated her just as equal as she treated me.
I was not going to let her treat me like her two-year-old daughter. I’m sorry I’m an adult I will apologize if I feel the need to.
Any way after that little endeavor I started praying about the situation and trying to figure out what I’m supposed to be learning out of this whole thing.
The answer I feel I finally received was this, If you don’t lean on heavenly father to make your decisions you tend to make situations harder for yourself.
For instance I never prayed about the job that I ask time off for I just felt like it was a good opportunity. Which is why after putting myself through this whole situation and getting my employers mad at me, loosing my one and only nanny reference.
Nothing worked out until I prayed about it.
I honestly can say that after praying and feeling the pull towards home I really need to be there. Something about being closer to friends and family is very important.
So after this huge long rant I guess what im asking for is prayers from all of you to please pray that I will find a job, that I am doing the right thing for everyone.
as of right now im resigning as a nanny for now. moving back to utah hoping to find a job, get into school and learn that im happy there and not farther away. it ver important that i feel like i need to get away you all remind me of this because i know now that the best place for me is closer to home.
as most of you know not very long after coming back in January i decided that i was going to stick it out until after tax season and then i was going to move on and find a new nanny job. Well starting the end of February i started looking and applying for jobs.
i guess i should have talked to Michele about this because she found out through a friend that I was planning on leaving which is not the way I wanted her to find out. Then the fun began it started out with my Michele just being a little angry and not really talking to me, then it came to a point where i have two families interested and want to meet me in person so i went and talked to Michele about it she said that they could work something out and would try and be supportive of me. so I told the families just that, One of the families gave me exact dates to come and see them so I went back to Michele with those dates and she said ok we will work something out. Twenty minutes later she texted me telling me that she didn't want me going.
After that I emailed her an email and I thought I was pretty nice for how angry I was with her saying that I was going to take the interview and that I was only asking for a few days its not like the end of the world. She didn't like being put back in her place I guess because her and Brian came and talked to me about it. She told me I was very childish with how I approached and handled the situation and that I need to grow up.
Then she went off on a rampage about how angry she was with me and stated that she would just fire me but she is so busy at work that she couldn't handle not having a nanny. She also said that she had plenty of girls waiting to replace me. Then she went off to say how I needed to apologies for what I did. I don’t feel sorry for the way I acted I thought I handled it and treated her just as equal as she treated me.
I was not going to let her treat me like her two-year-old daughter. I’m sorry I’m an adult I will apologize if I feel the need to.
Any way after that little endeavor I started praying about the situation and trying to figure out what I’m supposed to be learning out of this whole thing.
