I turned 24 on Wednesday, and you know what, I'm okay with it! In some ways I still feel like a little child, so unsure of myself and the future but mostly I feel blessed. Blessed to have had so many opportunities to learn and become, and to be surrounded by really excellent people who understand me and make me laugh. Last night...
"A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is,...
On Saturday our amazing youth worked their butts off for 6+ hours, building and selling lanterns at the Lynbrook Lantern Festival. They are so willing to give up their time to serve in the community. I love getting to work with them. Sexy fluoro pink vests (I've always wanted to wear one of these) It wasn't quite Tangled, but hey. ...
Thanks for the motivational quotes, Seek. And you too Grimes: "Just because someone has more qualifications than you doesn’t mean they’re better than you. We live in the age of technology, so you can Google anything you don’t know how to do. The only thing you can’t Google is how to be creative and unique. Your thoughts have more value than a degree or...
I think probably the hardest thing about coming off a mission for me is that it feels like my progression has slowed down to a snail's pace. I was a Lamborghini cruising down the motorway and now I'm a rusty old Toyota Camry, just puttering along. Don't worry, this isn't a self-pity rant - over the past couple of days I've received some...
Wow Emma Watson, thanks for speaking so boldly and honestly and for summing up all my opinions on gender equality in 10 minutes. There was so much true doctrine I was feeling the SPIRIT. It's probably best just to watch it because she delivers it so darn well but here are some highlights. ...fighting for women’s rights has too...
I need to get a job stat so I can go to concerts again. Chet Faker - 1998 [Live at the Enmore] ...
Okay can we talk about how brilliant last night's episode of Who was? [Image: x] "Let me tell you about scared. Your heart is beating so hard I can feel it through your hands. There’s so much blood and oxygen pumping through your brain it’s like rocket fuel. Right now you could run faster and you can fight harder. You can jump higher...
I have so much Melbourne pride. Some reasons why: The food - Vietnamese on Victoria St, Italian on Lygon, dumplings in China Town, hot jam donuts and boreks at the Vic Market, alleyway cafes, and multi-cultural food stands at the night markets in Summer. There's something for every taste. The music scene - some of my best nights out were spent dancing/moshing at...
If Brisbane boy Jordan Rakei keeps putting out tracks like this one, I might just have to marry him. Have a listen to his stuff on Soundcloud. ...
(image: Deseret News) Changing the world one tweet at a time! A little dramatic? Elder Bednar doesn't think so. I just watched his BYU devotional address and I'm excited. It's all about the way we can use social media to share 'the hope that is in [us]' (1 Peter 3:15). How something as simple as a social media post can help combat negative messages...
Hello internet! It's been what, 18 months? I just returned from the greatest experience of my life and I don't really know what to say.. How on earth do you sum up something that has literally changed your life forever? I don't know but I'll give it a try. First off here's an intro to what a missionary does. I grew up in...
