"Forget not to be happy now." -President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Today I realized I needed more positivity in my life. I also realized I needed to stay in touch with my old friends better. So I decided that each day I am going to post some positive things about my day.

So I'll start with today.

I'm grateful for deadlines. As much as they bother me because I am always trying to get something done; I am grateful for the relief that comes after I have met a deadline and then I no longer have to worry about something.
My New Testament project is done! I loved reading The Miracle of Forgiveness and learning so much from doing so!
I love when the moments when you accidentally send the wrong text to someone. For example, I received one today from someone I am in a group project for English with. "Now?... Dan, the truth is... All I want is you and me. If I have that, I'll be happy. (Insert gushy awwww here)
I'm grateful for my roommates. They put up with me even when I get super stressed.
I'm grateful for heat especially now that it is getting colder.
I love Mormon Messages. Especially this one...

My thoughts on LDS General Conference: "He that will hear my voice shall be my sheep"

Six months ago I penned a blog post where I shared my thoughts on how President Russell M. Nelson, then president of the Quorum of the Twelve, exemplified the day of miracles had not ceased as he rushed from the Conference Center to the hospital to be by the side of Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve moments before he passed away. Today I return to my blog to say President Nelson proves the heavens are open and Christ continues to guide His church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "He that will hear my voice shall be my sheep" "Come Follow Me" by Scott Sumner Fine Art “We have made the decision to retire ‘home teaching’ and ‘visiting teaching’ as we have known them," President Nelson said today from the Conference Center pulpit. "Instead, we will implement a newer, holier approach to caring and ministering to others. We will refer to these efforts simply as ‘ministering.’" Shortly after this announcement,...

What I Learned (Not Reported) at Education Week

Guess what? I'm officially a reporter for The Universe! (That's BYU's Campus Newspaper, in case you didn't know). Most of you know that I'm a Communications Major (Journalism Emphasis) at school. Part of the major is this super difficult (supposedly, I'm taking it in the fall) class called Comms 321: News Reporting. In that class you write articles for the paper. All of the members of the class got an email inviting us to get a head start on our inch count by reporting on Education Week. I decided this sounded like a splendid idea and signed up. Let me tell you, nine articles in four days is no easy feat. Well, maybe it is for more experienced reporters but I felt busy all the time. For those of you who don't know what education week is, it's pretty much you go to a bunch of classes on various topics ranging from the life of Jesus to how to plant a garden box. The hardest part of reporting? Trying to write the articles for the public instea...

How President Nelson Exemplified the Day of Miracles Has Not Ceased

During the Sunday Morning Session, Elder Donald L. Hallstrom, General Authority Seventy, echoed the question Moroni posed, “Has the day of miracles ceased?” He then affirmed with his words that God still performs miracles. Then, President Russell M. Nelson, president of the Quorum of the Twelve, affirmed it with his actions. As soon as the closing prayer’s “amen” was uttered, President Nelson broke tradition. Instead of waiting for President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, to come shake his hand, President Nelson met him halfway, right behind the podium (see above screenshot). He whispered something in President Eyring’s ear, and then the camera cut away. I can’t tell you exactly what happened next. But here’s what I assume. I assume the conversation between the two included President Nelson telling President Eyring that he needed to visit his quorum member, Elder Robert D. Hales. He then left the Conference Center and headed straight...
