My First Post

So this is my first post and I'm just a little bit excited! But before we dive in to my problemos you might want to know some things about me. I am LDS, as you might have guessed! But your probably wondering why my blog name is "Not Just Another Mormon Girl". Well thats a easy question to answer! I'm not your typical Mormon girl. I didn't grow up into a big family that went to church every Sunday, did scripture study together, or have family home evening. I was the exact opposite. My conversion story is a little special and I'm grateful for the testimony it has brought me. I grew up in Utah surronded my Mormons. Some of my best friends were Mormons and were always loving and supportive. So I was going through life, and I wasjust fine. But all I was was fine. I dont like to settle, and I was settling. I had been to a bunch of churches but none ever really stuck out ot me. I went to activity days with my neighbors and  I also went to mutual and hung out with some amazing girls, but the first time I ever felt the spirit was at girls camp when I was twelve. You know those experiences in your life where it's like "BOOM" your changed for the rest of your life. So quick you have no idea what just happened? Well thats what happened to me. I felt the spirit soooo strongly I bore my testimony during testimony meeting, not even knowing what a testimony was. I just felt that I needed to share with the people around me, and the Lord, what exactly I was feeling. It was the beginning of something great. I got baptised when I was 14 by my neighbor and confirmed a member of the LDS church by my grandfather. Ever since then I have come a long way! I have been Miamaids president and given lots of talks. I have gotten my Patriarchal blessing and been given blessings during hard times! Many things have happened that have blessed my life. I thought the fact that my family wasn't getting baptised with me was going to be my biggest trial but gosh was I wrong! Divorce isn't the end of the world, but it sure did shatter my universe. Your probably thinking wow this girl is messed up! But I promise I'm not! I'm really passionate about what is important and I am a tad on the emotional side (maybe more than a tad). But I look at the good in every situation! I know the bad things that happen in my life will lead to something better. I like the idea of a fairytale? All the princesses had to go through a lot to find their prince!

I hope you keep reading and keep enjoying! I will post another soon!
Talk to you soon :)
