Our Twilight Excursion
5...4...3...2...1 DING DING DING!!!!!!! "RUN, RUN, RUN!!! FASTER!!!!!! HURRY RUN!!!!!!!!"
hehehe yep that is what we were like yesterday during 8th period and running to my friend's car.
My friend's mom, four of my friends and I went to the movie 3 hours early. We had to go that early, because our theater is in a different county, and other people get there really early. We didn't mind we sat there on a blanket and talked. We then got pizza and doughnut holes. Every half hour we yelled out what time it was so that people knew how long they had left :) My legs were tired from sitting for a long time, so I got up and walked around. I decide to see how long the line was, so I got up and walked out in the parking lot and noticed the line had gone way past all of the stores that were by the theater.
When we finally got into the movie we were so excited and hyper. We waited and waited for the theater to fill up, so that the movie could start. When it did, there was a ton of people shushing other people. When the movie title came on people cheered.
I really liked the movie, but the book will always be better in my point of view. I plan on going again with my mommy. :) My friends all liked, and we also talked about what we didn't like about it after we watched it. Only one of my friends did not like it, she said that it was too corny, but then again she thinks a lot of things are corny.
To those of you that haven't seen it, I recommend it and to those who have seen it, what did you think about it? What were your likes and dislikes?

Speaking in sacrement meeting....
Well today I spoke in sacrament meeting, and I think I did alright. People complimented me on it but why I was so worried about it was that I wrote the talk this morning. :) We have 12:30 meeting and I got up at 9:45 in the morning. I did set my clock for for 8:00 but in my subconsciousness, I had turned it off. hehehe oops :) I DO not remembering turning it off though. The reason being why I didn't write it yesterday, was because I went to the Temple with my Ward, and we got out later then we thought we would. Then my family and I went to Wal-mart, and we didn't home till really late.
Any way I got up and wrote it on my topic of Temples.
Here is my talk so hope you enjoy :)
Temple work can be used for two purposes One is doing ordinances for the dead, and then ordinances for the living.
Ordinances for the living: True to the Faith says the principal purposes for temples are to provide the ordinances necessary for our exaltation in the celestial kingdom. When you are eighteen or getting married, you get something called endowments. Endowments means gift. Endowments are very important.
Another temple ordinance is celestial marriage. With this a husband and wife can be sealed for all time and eternity. If husband and wife keep their covenants, the sealing they performed in the temple will continue forever, and they may be able to live in the highest degree of glory. D&C 131: 1-4
(Read Preach my Gospel: Eternal Marriage)
Children that are born to parents that have been sealed together, they are born under the covenant. Even thought the children might not have been born under the covenant, they can still be sealed to their families, as my own mom was. (tell about mom's adoption and sealing)
Temples are sacred; always remember the ordinances you have made, and if you have not made covenants yet prepare your selves to enter into the temple and receive those sacred covenants. Also parents, teach your children that they might be ready when the times come to enter into the temple. I am thankful that my parents taught me about the temple, and to respect it and what happens there.
Now I am going to talk about Ordinances for the Dead
Many people have died in the world with out being able to be sealed, baptized or confirmed, or without being able to have their endowments taken out. We as members of the church are able to do these things for them. We need to go to the temple often so that we can do it for them.
I found a scripture to go along with this topic. D&C 138: 58
Yesterday we were able as a youth, go and do baptisms for the dead. The experience for me was one that I am happy God gave to me. After I was done with the names that I was given, the bishop grabbed my arm and asked me if I wanted to do more names. I said yes of course and I did the last ones they had for the group, that had been mixed up or something else.
God let me do those extra names so that his children who were waiting patiently to be baptized were able to have that ordinance done for them. I am very thankful that he let me do it too. I sat there and thought of the happiness all those people that were baptized and confirmed yesterday not only here but all over, were able to have. They are sons and daughters of God too, and they have the right to be able to be with Him forever just as us, the living, have also.
Temple work is very important, not only for our salvation but for others also.
God has given us these temples, and it is our job to do the work that needs to be done. We need to return to the temple often as we are permitted.

The fun of Halloween
Wow yesterday was SO fun :) My friend and I went trick-or-treating, then we had a late over with other friends. We started trick-or-treating at about 5:23 and then we didn't get back till 8:00. We did a lot of the small town we live in.
After we got back we went into the house got some leftovers, because we were hungry, then went down stairs to watch movies. Our other friends came over a little bit after the first movie (Lady in White) had started. After we were done with that movie we started another one, Rear Window. I kept falling asleep because it takes a little longer to get to the point, but when it did I was wide wake cuddling with my friends on the edge of my seat in suspense. We looked really funny all crammed on to the couch together.
We didn't get done with our movie night till 1:00 in the morning hehehe then I woke up early to babysit my brothers while my mom went to our ward's Super Saturday, but I had fun so that is all the counts right? Well I do think I ate too much candy so I am a little sick so hence the picture of the puking pumpkin :)
And in fact I am going to Brittany's house go have another late over (till 10:00 this time :) with the same people that were at Rachel's house last night :)
Hope you all had a good Halloween! And don't eat to much candy, you will get sick! :D teehee
