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.

I am a closet stand up comedian. I'm always making everyone around me laugh but if you put me up on a stage my sense of humor goes out the window and I get grapefruit thrown at me. Let me tell you grapefruit hurt when someone has a fast ball. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor. I am always the girl in the back making sacrcastic comments. I am the life of the party!

Helaman 5:12
"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whilwinds yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, becaue of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build it they cannot fall."
The Bishop asked me to memorizes this scripture so I would like to challange everyone to memorizes it. It's not as easy as you think. I having a hard time with it. Good Luck.

Good for you for making the choice to come back! Having been inactive myself, for too many years to count, I know how hard it is to come back. Stick with it!

Hey Mary Ann, I found your blog from Karen's blog. I hope you are doing well. I have had some challenges as well since the mission, but I always go back to my testimony of Christ and the gosepel. You wrote this almost a year ago, but I hope you are doing well. I'm jealous that you are in Arizona where it is WARM. I'm in the Idaho ARCTIC! Take Care!
