It has been while since i have last written and a lot has happened... I am a 22 year old student at Brigham Young University. As i have mentioned, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Later-day Saints. Being a returned missionary for the church and a a student at BYU, there is a certain level of pressure that is put on us/me to get married. Not that it is forced upon us to get married fast, but it a sense... It is! We are a church that believes in progression, as do I. I do agree with the argument that we should not put off getting married. With the divorce rate continually at an increase, i can't help but to worry. I come from a bit of a different back-ground of which i have learned so much. I have see both the good and the bad from my parents marriage and feel that i have learned so much from them. There are many things that satan in doing to try and tear apart the families. The feel and believe that the family is the one greatest source that will make or break us all. From my experiences, my family is the reason I am who I am... From my classes and my past, my family background had/will have a huge impact in my future with my wife.
I love the things that i learn from my church. I have learned so much about faith. I have learned and i believe that there is no soul mate for anyone. We can and will have a happy successful marriage if we live by faith. If we rely on Heavenly Father and be true and faithful, we will return to his presence and have an Eternal Marriage, forever.

Cleave It or Not

While I was on my mission serving for the LDS church, I had the chance to teach numerous people about the commandments of God. We know that the first commandment tells of “to love the Lord God above all other things. It was sometimes very difficult to teach this to the people of the world. It has become very common for people to acquire a stronger love for worldly things over the love for Heavenly Father. The love for sports; jewelry, possessions and mainly money have become the worth of the world and have put the Lord aside. From these experience and things that I am learning at school, I have come to learn more about the importance and significance of the world “cleave.” The world is cleaving onto these worldly possessions and is not seeing the eternal perspective of it all. I guess that’s what they mean when they say “the truth hurts.” We need to stop and realize that our eternal lives are at stake and that we all need to change, in one or another, for the better. We must learn to love the Lord our God above all things. He is “the way the truth and the life: no man may come unto the Father but by me,” (John 14:6) the only way of which we will be able to receive our eternal glory and have our families forever. Also, when the time comes; we learn to cleave to our spouse and prepare for eternity. No more crying to mom and or dad to complain about things that are going on. On the same note, not relying on them for that financial comfort.
