18 Months an Angel: The Sequel

Hey guys, we'll be looking at the title page of the Book of Mormon. :) This is the very first page of the book and was found with the rest of the sacred text. Written by Mormon, the main compiler of the Book of Mormon, it describes the story within its pages. Remember, I'll be going through the Book of Mormon looking for Jesus Christ, and his constant and undeniable presence in the book. After explaining who the book will focus on, the Nephites and the Lamanites, Mormon points out that the goal of the Book of Mormon is to remind the people of Israel, and in reality, each of us, "what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers." The God of Israel, who divided the Red Sea so that the children of Israel could escape the Egyptians, provided them food in the wilderness for forty years, fought and won their battles, and constantly protected and watched over them is willing to work miracles in our lives too. He has not changed. His name is Jesus Christ, and...

Hey friends! I like to read the Book of Mormon by theme sometimes, and have been reading through the book this summer with a friend. Our theme has been looking for Christ. Some of you reading this may know a lot about the Book of Mormon, but I'm sure there are those of you who have either never heard of it, or aren't very familiar with it. The Book of Mormon is a book of scripture connected to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons. The book is similar to the Bible, because it is a record of God's interactions with his people, through both experiences and sermons given by prophets of God. However, rather than taking place in the Old World, as the Old and New Testaments do, the Book of Mormon was written on the American continent. It is another testament of Jesus Christ. However, those who are first becoming acquainted with the book may have questions about the role of Christ in the Book of Mormon, as well as in the LDS (Mormon) religion. The Book of...

5.30.17 Today we had our second to last frisbee game. It started pretty late, about 9:15pm. Scott picked me up and we drove over to the game. As soon as we got to the field I jumped out of the car and jogged over to check in. I hid my arm half behind my back as we were doing the preliminaries, hoping they wouldn't find my Fitbit. I was blessed, because they didn't see it;)  The game went well. We had seven players, so we had a full team but we didn't have any subs so we were all on the field for the entire hour, which gets tiring. As usual, the team was killing it. There was also a girl I hadn't met before named Lacey who was amazing! I spent almost the entire game on defense, just trying to block whoever I was assigned to. I did pretty well, although the other team had fast girls and subs. At the end of the game I passed the frisbee maybe twice, although other than that I just did defense and ran a lot.  We all did our best, although the score near the ...

I definitely got behind! Don't worry friends, I'm going to try to cover all of the March adventures that have yet to receive documentation ;) March 1: Latin dancing with Dominique  As everyone already knows, I love going to Tuesday night dancing at the Wilk, and this time I got to go with my cousin! I got there at 7:30 for the Country Swing, and went through the Latin practice from 8:30 to 9. At about 9:10 my cousin Dominique walked in. I peered in her direction, making sure it was her. She did the same, and waved when we realized that we'd found each other. She started walking over, just as a guy came up behind me and asked if I was waiting for some other guy or if I was free to dance. I told him I was free to dance, but continued to look over towards where Dominique was. The guy caught on to that and asked me if I was sure I wasn't waiting for another guy or my date. I told him I was looking for my cousin, but "not to worry", because she was a...
