I went to a birthday party in Tremonton about a half hour drive from Logan. I made my friend give me a tour when I was there and hang out with me. I had fun. It made me think a lot.

His lifestyle and life choices R completely different but his parents had different life choices too. His father drinks with him and his sister parties with him BUT they are all great and kind people. He has a testimony of the gospel but there's a lot he doesn't understand and he doesn't c the need to understand that really. He's been a great friend to me and I am grateful for the chance I've had to have a friend who doesn't share my values but can still respect my decisions.

I know exactly what I want and I never thought it was wrong-I still don't for the most part. I guess what I've learned is NOT to undermine the atonement. Murder and denying the Holy Ghost R the only things the atonement doesn't cover so it REALLY doesn't matter what someone's done in the past if they do decide to change.

I know our decisions in the pre-existence determined how we arrived in this world and what type of families we end up with. It just made me think of how easy it was for me to find the truth-I was raised with it. It was VEEERY easy for me to make the choices I did to attend school and to go on a mission. Why have so many people NOT been given the same type of experiences??? I know not everyone can have the same experiences.

I feel like my understanding's increased significantly BUT I'm having difficulty expressing that adequately
