My Hair...

So I was impulsive and added blonde highlights to my auburn hair. So funny! But the real reason I chose to do so was to test the strength of my hair and elasticity. It passed, so I am excited to say in a while I will be back to my summer do of blonde. The only sad part is that I don't think that I have any pics of my dark hair. I absolutely love red! Ya, I know, I am always changing. However, I never realize it until I go to work at the hospital and a nurse always comments on each time he sees me, I am different. But what can I say? I love changing!?!? The only scary part is worrying about it falling out...I do exactly what I would never want to do on someone else, extreme changes with extreme damage possiblities, somewhat hippocritical.

I just bought "History of Joseph Smith by His Mother". I am so excited about studying him in Relief Society for the next two years. I have heard of this book, but have never really wanted to read it. But this year I am feeling the urge and am anticipating all of the amazing information in entails. Who else would have known him better than the woman who taught him about prayer? The woman who felt his pain double-fold, as only a parent can, when he was mocked and tormented? Who else than a mother, a fellow disciple, a friend. SO I might insert a thought now and again from it.

Through different experiences in the past few weeks, I am extremely grateful for the gospel! I am continually learning about the miracle of the Atonement, the love and mercy of God, the humility and example of Christ, the hope behind the plan of salvation through temple work, and the blessing of having the scriptures and a living prophet. May I always remember these truths, and show my gratitude by service and obedience.
