EMG- Paiute camp
ok i almost forgot how to post a blog...just cause its been that loong lol anyways, not too many things happened since i've been off this thing lol but i've learnt to love my life and the gospel sooo much more...words cannot eeeven express how awesome the gospel has been in my life...i'm working on the sharing part and i feel its getting easier to do but not where i want to be and there's always room for improvement :)
anywayz, i had the opportunity to be able to share my talent last week (July 27) with the EMG (Elevate My Game) camp in the reservations out in the Paiute tribe under Coach Wendy. Me and Kayla were the coaches, while the life skillz (support haha) crew was dori stone, tiare stone, joann ah you and tema hunkin. It was jus an awesome experience just being able to interact with kids who are so isolated (like seriously in the middle of nowhere, with no phone reception lol) and teach them basketball skills and also about the real world. I wanna be able to do these in the future, that is when i start my real carrier. I wanna help kids realize their true potential on the basketball court and off it. anyway, here are some of the pics i took off of my phone...its junk cause ya my phones junk soooo ya sorry about it lol
This is how isolated it is...pretty much this is everthing all around...but it is super beautiful! :) This is when the whole EMG crew drove to Colorado city (where the polygamist live) to get ice cream. Me and Tema sat in the back of the truck the whole way bumping loud music on coach's freakin awesome stereo lol
i forgot who's arm that was LOL either Tiare or Tema lol but we was trying to be sneaky taking pics of the polygamist peoples hahaha too funny...but interesting enough we found out that the higher the front Bump on their hair the more righteous u are...this one is pretty righteous cause oka the high bump Lol but it was funny cause we thought they was strange and they thought we was strange lol interesting experience
idk who's muli that is either hahaha oh weh lol but this is the ice ccream i got lol i know it looks gross but daaang was it delish! lol the bottom flavor was play dough and top flavor was licorice. yeah i like licorice, is that weird? lol but ya dont mind the teeth marks hahaha
this was outside the gym where we did camp at and right before our 5k run attempt...tema and her lifting anything pose....it didnt eeeven work hahaha but ya after a looong day of basketball they decided to run from the gym to where we stayed lol well me joann and coach ran the whole way while tema and kayla got a ride half way, the slackers hahaha oh man and after when we got back, we sat in the front lawn and was entertained by the kids....that is where we learnt the "get back! leave me alone, i'm safe" technique! Too funny coach and Joann egging the kids on LOL gotta love it!
oh and PS- my shirt was dirtied so i could keep em hahaha
all in all, this was an awesome trip, very educational and also sooo much fun in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of awesome women. cant wait for next years one :)

Jah Stee :)
Happy Birthday to the MOST important man in my Life, my Father. He is 58 years old. Daaaang, super old. I wish i was back home celebrating his special day with my mom...bt i jus got the next best thing i guess, skype. Its funny that his birthday is on the same day the priesthood was restored, may 15th, because I called earlier and he was out fulfilling his calling. Oh dad, never resting, eeeven on your birthday, wat an example you are to me, and i'm sooo blessed to be your daughter. :) I've always been a daddy's girl and i miss him sooo much! :,(
Words cannot express how truly grateful i am for you, dad. You've always been there for me thru thick and thin, never failing in giving council with words of reassurance from the day i was born to this day. I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH DAD!

Family Home Evening
On Sunday, during our sunday school lesson given by charlie, we talked about "children", that is, how we need to be more like them because they are humble, eager to learn, always quick to forgive, loving and the list goes on. He ended the lesson with saying that we should treat kids now how we are going to treat our future kids. And interestingly enough, secretly i've been doing this with colins kids. I know its weird but ya, everytime, i'm impatient to answer one of their endless questions or when i have to correct them or play with them, i always tell myself; ok aggz just pretend these are your kids lol i know weird weird, but it always helps me because i can't wait to have my own lol and because i swear these kids really test my patience lol but i still looove them as if they are my own! :)
Anyways, today i missed FHE with my ward because john wanted to go and used "his calling" as an excuse to go so i can babysit...so tricky this fella lol anywayz, because Charlotte had to work and because i was out most of the weekend i decided its only fair that i do babysit. So i fed the kids their dinner, gave them dessert, you know the usual and then told them to go watch tv upstairs while i cleaned the kitchen. While cleaning up i was inspired or should i say prompted by the spirit to just have fhe with the kids. Thinking it was silly i brushed it off then jus kept doing my thing...then the thought came again, so i was like you know what i'm going do it! lol
BEST IDEA EEEVER!!!!
So i turned off the tv in their room, made them sit on the bed and started talking to them about primary. At first they was like wat are doing...oh aunty aggie lol but then i asked each of them their favorite primary song and they were all eager to share lol i was amazed and at the same time grateful that i followed the spirit. We sang most of their favorite songs; and even though they didnt know the words i could tell they wanted to sing their hearts out cause they were all still trying to sing :) and in between the songs i talked to them, just small kind made up my lesson, talking about being an example (the older ones mostly) to the younger ones, and explaining what being an example means. Then i talked about loving one another, i tried to tell them that jesus loved them and wouldnt want them to fight with each other...they listened but u know they're kids and they will always be fighting but i know in the long run they will remember these lessons. I flippin love them and i too want the best for them just like the savior wants the best for them. Anyways, whats funny was me ending the fhe, i was like ok 2 more songs and we're done...and they were like nooo 4 more...i was like really? lol but i could tell they enjoyed it as much as i did :)
anyways, i plan to do this with them every other monday when its jus going be me with them...and hopefully this will help them in the long run...i'm sooo glad that i listened to the spirit and did this for it has increased my testimony on FHE, for i know that some of the right decisions i've made in this life was because of FHE and i treasure it dearly and i hope it will be beneficial for them as it was for me :)...i'm just excited and can't wait to have my own family and carry on this tradition with them too. :)

Fighting Temptation
I jus named this blog "Fighting Temptation" just cause i just finished watching the movie, and it just reminded me of how much i use to looove it and not because i was actually fighting temptation lol But i really jus wanted to blog about my day today and how awesome it was...didnt really do anything exciting and cool that the whole world needs to know about but ya just wanted to blog i guess lol
I started out my day watching both sessions of conference. Awesome way to start it! I am lucky to have the luxury of watching conference in my room...i looove it!!! lol anyways, sooooooooooo many things i learned today in saturdays session. Sooo many reminders about things i take for granted, things i need to work on and things i should look forward to...One of the many things that stood out to me was Dallin H. Oaks talk on "desire". He said:
"Our Desire dictates our priority, Our priority shapes our choices, and Our choices determine our actions"
And then he continued to say, "God will judge us according to the desire of our hearts." hmmm made me think what do i truly desire? i get caught up in the worldly things that i forget whats really important to me...or what SHOULD be important to me. He said we should prioritize our desires towards god and not seek out for the riches of the world. Something i definitely need to work on. Anyways i wish i could elaborate more but i'm tired lol i know weird that i'm already tired, but ya i going try get a normal scheduele...TRY! lol but ya, after watching conference i went for a run...i know acking lol felt mucho good to run, hmmm two days in a row...i think i will make this a habit hopefully, but it was good to jus run and think of the things i learnt in conference, the things i got in my Patriarchal blessing and what i need to do with my life to make it better :) ya all that in one run, thats probably why i ran for an hour, ya i didnt know till i saw the time i was jus sooo into my own thoughts i guess and also appreciating the scenery lol...but the thing that made my day awesome was spending time with the kids...i had soo much fun! and soo did they...we didnt even do much, we was jus jumping on the trampoline and i made them all dance lol aaawww man i wish i had a camera to capture all this...too funny!!! we played in the sun foreeever and the BEST part was after we were done playing they all came up to me and told me how much fun they had and they wanna do it all the time...hoooi! lol nah i loove it... I know it is corny but hearing them say that totally made my day!!! :) all i can say is these kids are threee much and i flipppppppin looooooove them!!!
anywayz, i going rest now so i can watch conference again tomoro...i'm excited!!! Goood nite!!! :)

Never too late :)
Sooo yesterday was aweeesome!!!! I had the opportunity to get my Patriarchal blessing (along with ashlyn). Yes i'm 24 and i just got it and ya i dont know why it took me this long lol...but hey its never too late right? and the BEST timing too. From my first appointment with bish till now it seemed like foreverrr, but it was DEFINITELY worth the wait :) anywayz, i went to the stake center about an hour earlier than my appointment, i was soooo nervous! i dont know why...maybe because i didnt know what to expect, or maybe because i was just plain scared of what i was about to hear..but all in all it was an amaaaaazing experience, one that is soooo spiritual and sacred that i couldn't describe even if i wanted to.
But as he put his hand on my head and proceeded with the blessing, my heart was pounding like no other! i mean i swear the patriarch could hear it while he was blessing me lol but as he went on i felt suuuper calm and knew that i had nothing to be nervous about. Hearing all the blessings i knew in my heart that it was directly from Heavenly Father...this was such a testament again that he lives, knows me, loves me and only wants nothing less than the BEST for me. I wish i could share the blessing with the WHOLE world, but i know because of its sacredness i can only share it with my parents and my spouse (suuper excited to meet him whoever he is lol) and also keeping in mind that all these blessings will ONLY happen if i keep the commandments and show obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm sooooo excited for whats instore for me and cant wait for all the blessings to come to past, of course in its due time :) anyways, i'm going to get my written blessing on Sunday hopefully and i cant wait to share it with my parents :)
Also, tomorrow is General conference :) i'm suuuper excited for that too. Tonight was the tristake dance in salt lake, i wanted to go to that soo bad cause last years one was suuper fun, but i had to babysit so John can go to his mission reunion. I guess thats a blessing in a way cause it will give me an opportunity to sleep early lol so i can watch both conference session cause i am sooo not a morning person lol Having said that i will now log off and attempt to sleep lol Good night all :)

My Life Purpose???
Its been fooorever since i've rambled my life away on such things and since i cant sleeeep, here goes lol
Tonight we decided to go to the P7 missionary fireside and i'm sooo glad we did because...it was such a spiritual experience for me and i'm pretty sure for everyone present. The fireside was divided into three workshops; One with God, One with our fellowmen, and One with Ourselves. I learned so much in each workshop;
One with ourselves;
we did a personal survey about ourselves where we had to rate our individual progression. This made me realize that i have sooo much to work on, not that i didnt know this but, it was good to know specifics or areas that i really did need to work on. For example, my points was super low on patience among other things lol and it was good to know that even people in the stake presidency are also struggling just as much as I am, it gives me comfort to know that i am not alone in this struggle.
One with our Fellowmen;
we talked about serving our fellowmen. While i was sitting there listening to Pua talk about this, a scripture came to mind. I forgot what scripture reference it is from but i know its a scripture mastery, it goes: "IF ye have done it unto one of the least my brethren, ye have done it unto me." So powerful were these words in my mind. I wanted to share this with the class as i was prompted too but i guess i feared man more than God. A weakness of mine that i truly NEED to overcome. Anyway, it was weird because i've come across this scripture sooo many times but somehow at this moment i understood what it actually meant. It really changed my perspective on how i should treat my fellow brothers and sisters as they are also "a child of God". Was really a wonderful testament and feeling that i need to serve serve serve my fellowmen more than myself to be truly happy. :)
One with God;
There was an activity that made me sooo shame cause it totally put me on blast lol but i could also view that as a challenge lol anyway, there was a question that was proposed to us in the beginning of this workshop and it was "What is your life purpose?" People answered; to be happy, to serve others, to become like Heavenly Father. It was like automatic for them...and i couldnt eeeven think of one answer kaloz...but as i heard all these answers i was thinking,...are these my life purposes? Do i wake up every morning with these goals in mind? It became clear to me that i did not know my life purpose and its NO wonder i was so lost because i've been planning my life without a purpose and therefore jus going in circles. Reality check for me! But I do believe that if i wake up every morning and throughout the day remind myself what my purpose in life is, decision making won't be as tough...hmmm well at least i think so lol
anywayz, today was a pretty awesome Sunday...i LOVE going to church (but i need to make a better effort on the being ON TIME bit lol), but i really love how every time i go, the message i hear or feel is specifically for me and is just what i NEED to hear to keep me going. :) But yay on a random note: tomoro i get to see bishop and hopefully it will be the last interview i have with him before i go see the stake president for my Patriarchal Blessing. I'm soooo excited for that, i really cant wait to see the plan Heavenly father has for me, how cool is that?! a personal letter from Heavenly Father to me :) anywayz, dddddooont explain it!!! lol...ok i can! good night :)

It was like automatic for them...and i couldnt eeeven think of one answer kaloz...but as i heard all these answers i was thinking,...are these my life purposes? Do i wake up every morning with these goals in mind? It became clear to me that i did not know my life purpose and its NO wonder i was so lost because i've been planning my life without a purpose and therefore jus going in circles. Reality check for me! But I do believe that if i wake up every morning and throughout the day remind myself what my purpose in life is, decision making won't be as tough...hmmm well at least i think so lol
anywayz, today was a pretty awesome Sunday...i LOVE going to church (but i need to make a better effort on the being ON TIME bit lol), but i really love how every time i go, the message i hear or feel is specifically for me and is just what i NEED to hear to keep me going. :) But yay on a random note: tomoro i get to see bishop and hopefully it will be the last interview i have with him before i go see the stake president for my Patriarchal Blessing. I'm soooo excited for that, i really cant wait to see the plan Heavenly father has for me, how cool is that?! a personal letter from Heavenly Father to me :) anywayz, dddddooont explain it!!! lol...ok i can! good night :)
