December is Quite Busy
Hey guys! So sorry I'm not too devoted to my blog. I really need to post more often or else this blog is of no purpose. So today (I'm in school right now) I was called by my principle out of class. She said it wasn't anything bad, so I wasn't worried. She pulled me out to talk to me about my locker. Everything on my locker is about my background, just simple things that make up my life. I have three things on my locker, my temple photo with a little quote, "If this isn't your castle, then you're not my prince", a BYU magnet, and a paper out of the back of the new era which says, "Make the church your whole life, not just a background." (It's probably not accurate, but you get the idea.) My principle soon informed me that I was no longer able to have my BYU sticker and my new era quote on my locker. She said that the janitors didn't like my magnet, so I had to take it down, and she didn't really have a clear explanation for why I had to take down my new era quote. I simply did what she told me, not wanting to cause conflict or get in trouble, and I did it. As soon as she walked away, I started to cry. I did NOT think that this was fair. It felt like I was taking down my religion. I started to cry, and could not stop. It was a feeling of pain, because I wanted everybody to know that I love the lord. What ever happened to freedom of speech? I felt alone. I felt like nobody would understand, because this was a form of a part of my testimony. It was like having the light of Christ stolen away form you. This was one of the worst feelings I've felt in a long time. But anyways, just remember, that even though somebody can tear down any form of testimony outside of your body, you will always have your testimony in your heart,and in your mind.

Hey sweetie-- I'm proud of you for what you did. Many people can take away lots of things from us, but they can't stop us from acting like the Savior would. Even though you can't put up your magnet or your paper, you can still share your testimony by the way you treat others. You are amazing! I love you!
