Why Arizona?

Some of you have been asking why I moved to Arizona. There came a time in my life that I be came inactive and made some not good choices that put me farther and farther away then where I should have been. I stopped going to church all together and just didn't see going back to church in the future.
Heavenly Father did not like the plan and the path I was taking and so I lost my job and had to move out of my apartment and move in with my older sister Christy and I watched her kids while Christy and Bill worked. So I had a lot of time on my hands to think about things.
To make a really long story short the Lord told me that I need to move to Arizona and so here I am right now I am living with one of my missionary companions with her husband and 3 girls. It all comes down to that I need to be here in Arizona to repent. I need to be in the right place at the right time with the right priesthood leadership and it happnes to be in Arionza. I have a wonderful Bishopric who has been prepared for me. I am getting back to were I need to be and I am over joyed with all of the love that I am feeling from my Heavenly Father. I am grateful for the Parkes Family for taking me in and under their wing's while mine are broken. I know that the Atonement is real. I ama grateful for repentance it brings me hope and joy. I love my bishop he is such an amazing guy. I know the church is true. I am glad to be coming back to the fold. I am grateful to all my family and friends that have supported me in the decision that I have made to move here and change. This has been the greatest thing for me.

One night I was at Natalie's and found Lydia in her room reading and so it turned into taking silly pictures with the girls. These picture's always put a smile on my face.

Hooley Time

Some of you know that this summer I lived with my sister Christy and her husband Bill. I was the nanny for my 2 niece's Ce'Nedra and Acacia. It was fun I had a really good time with them. I took some pictures of a day they played in the sprinkler.
