A few years ago, the missionaries held an activity and gave all the youth a challenge to go without their phones and social media for a few days so that they could be more centered on the gospel and be able to share it with others. I accepted the challenge and shared the gospel with a friend and told them about the missionaries’ challenge. That friend became interested and started meeting with the missionaries. He was baptized a few months later.

I really like to do indexing and family history. Sometimes I get together with my cousins and other family members to work on family history. I love to help others do their own family history. We then take those names to the temple.

In the future, I’ll make covenants in the temple when I receive my endowment and am sealed. I am preparing myself spiritually to make those covenants and trying hard to do what is right. It is very important to have the Spirit with me so I’m protected from temptation.
