Yoli Day 3

I got my new and I hope my FINAL aligners from my orthodontist. I know I've been his client from hell BUUUT I like to get what I paid for AND for a minor problem this has been ridiculous. I know he was ticked that I asked him how many patients he had that used invisalign. I'm happy he was honest with me and told me I was his first. These actually felt tight yesterday which is how they're supposed to feel. He's having me wear each for 2 weeks and the whole process should take 6 weeks. I'll be done with my Yoli transformation kit before that's up. NICE. I prayed about whether I should take my Metformin right now because I've hated how high my blood sugar has been but I felt I should just be patient and work the Yoli program. I can follow this for life. It is just extremely important that I don't skip meals.

I haven't felt any of the drastic benefits everyone reports but I do plan to use Yoli products for at least 3 months first before I make any changes. Actually if it does what it should I will distribute it part time as well. I like ALL areas I'm interested in - Zumba, Yoli, Real Estate AND librarianship. The REASON why I wanted to get my MLS is because librarians are paid extremely well AND can work odd AND part time hours. It is something I enjoy but am also allowed to pursue other things.

George advised me against working in sales at Stevens-Henager College in Murray. I know he's right. I don't really want to do that and I'd feel better if I met my Logan temple commitment. I am grateful for all the experiences I've had here but I have absolutely no love for the place. I have to drive to Salt Lake City just for a decent night out. There are not a bunch of theatres all within half an hour OR restaurants. TJ Maxx is the ONLY place along with Ross where you can purchase nice stuff BUUUT it's like DI because you have to dig. Alright I did find a nice pair of Rock Republic shoes but of course they were out of my size. Size 7 is probably the most common women's shoe size. I need to buy some Daisy perfume but I'll have to get it online or in Salt Lake City. Ogden or Layton might have it but if I hit the freeway why on earth would I go anywhere else.

I could see a ballet, musical OR play at any number of theatres throughout Salt Lake Valley. I looove that. If I like Yoli as much as everyone else does the headquarters is in West Valley City, what they call the Yoli mansion. I realize there are no Yoli distributors in Cache Valley, I realize realtors are much friendlier here and that it is probably good for me to begin here in real estate part time. I also realize there are many things I benefit from by living in Logan. I just miss the convenience of Salt Lake City. Maybe this is for me to appreciate Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City feels really safe. I've always imagined myself living in California. I've never been to the East Coast either but I feel like I'd enjoy it there too. I will always love Hawaii and I will own a condo there at Turtle Bay Hilton. I'd also like to own a condo in downtown Salt Lake City. I like that the church is there.

Without exception I've always lived where the church is huge. My parents raised us in Hauula - like Providence is to Logan it ran into Laie where PCC, BYU and the temple were. There were 6 stakes in my area and where I grew up. It was rare not to be LDS.

My parents moved us to Provo, Payson and then Tonga. Of course in Tonga we lived for the most part at Liahona, the name of the town AND church high school AND where the temple was built. My mission is the only time I didn't live in a church center but I was a missionary so my whole life was the church anyway. I would not want to live in Sacramento or any of its neighboring communities. The nice areas were nice but the bad areas were that too. Stores and restaurants were nothing to speak of too. I did like California's diversity. I NEVER felt the racism there I've experienced in Utah. People in California don't automatically assume or treat me like an idiot YES it is possible to be gorgeous AND spiritual AND brilliant. That has always been my goal anyway.

I always wanted to be an example of someone who can be gorgeous AND super intelligent AND super spiritual. I ALWAYS wanted to be the example of that to young girls and women in general. I ALSO want to be an amazing wife and mother and that is the one area I need to develop. Who I marry is the most important thing I do in this life and affects me the most significantly eternally. Although I believe I can make it work with anyone, I don't and shouldn't have to do that. I am incredible and I want someone incredible too.

I want someone who has developed themselves physically, spiritually AND mentally, who can support a family well and can serve the church and the Savior in ANY capacity. Who knows his worth, who has built his confidence and isn't afraid to shine, to be that light to the world it needs. I am so grateful for this gospel. I owe everything and anything I am to it.

Helaman 1
 12 Therefore, Kishkumen was not known among the people of Nephi, for he was in disguise at the time that he murdered Pahoran. And Kishkumen and his band, who had covenanted with him, did mingle themselves among the people, in a manner that they all could not be found; but as many as were found were condemned unto death.

This is the example of evil using covenants and emphasizes the power that covenants have in our lives if they are used in both evil and good righteous ways. 

The Doctrines and Principles Contained in The Articles of Faith - L. Tom Perry
The scriptures guide us to a standard of truth by which we can judge the knowledge we are receiving, whether it be true or false. True doctrine comes from God, the source and foundation of all truths. The teachings and concepts of true doctrine are found in the gospel of our Lord and Savior. 
We learn that in addition to listening to the still, small voice of the Spirit and reading the scriptures, another source of guidance is our Church leaders, who are chosen, called, and set apart to bless our lives through the lessons they teach.

Finally, we learn as we spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to the four corners of the earth that we must respect the governments of each nation we enter. Truly, we believe in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law of each land.

You young men—I encourage you to use your bright minds to study and learn the Articles of Faith and the doctrines they teach. They are among the most important and certainly the most concise statements of doctrine in the Church. If you will use them as a guide to direct your studies of the gospel of Jesus Christ, you will find yourself prepared to declare your witness of the restored truth to the world. You will be able to declare in simple, straightforward, and profound ways the core beliefs you hold dear as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I just ordered all these self-help books for Katie at work. I wish she was open to learning more about the gospel. It is the ultimate self-help program. The world and she would gain so much if she simply opened her heart to it. I pray she'll let me share that with her some day.
