Some Pictures!

My new kitten-compliments of the Merryman family
Sister Ayala and Sister McNeill gave me a framed picture of the Colombus temple!

Sister McNeill, Sister Ayala, and I in Kirtland, OH. A great portion of the BOM was translated here. This table is original to the house, and Joseph Smith actually sat here. The word of wisdom revelation was also received in this room.



Sister Ayala-and my BB gun
Sister McNeill-I was uncomfortable in my baptism get up, so to make me feel better, she tried it on too! What a good sport!

Ok, so this is the nastiest icecream truck ever! The sisters and I were driving somewhere and saw this truck..It was all rusty and the exhaust stunk so bad-Who would buy ice cream from such a truck? It was grossly funny.


Ok heres Elder Bergeson at Kara's baptism party eating almost an entire cake!!! He actually got through most of it!

Fun at the Merrymans! Playing with deadly weapons is fun! LOL




My life is taking a new turn, a turn for the better. I am so excited to be baptized! I cant wait for that awesome gift of the Holy Ghost! I have never in my life been more ready than I am today. The missionaries gave me two framed pictures as a gift today. I got a picture of our prophet and of the Colombus temple. I hung them up in my living room tonight. I have already found that those pictures invited the spirit into my home. I just feel so incredibly lucky to be where I am today. I only hope I can continue with the intensity and desire that I have right now.

  1. I am so proud of you Gio! I seriously cannot believe I am lucky enough to have you as a friend. You are so amazing!

    I am so happy you are surrounding yourself with the Spirit. There is a great amount of power that comes from that!

    Hey--did you get my question about coming to dinner?? We would love to have you over if you are okay with it...and we wondered if you want to come play this afternoon. The kids have been begging to see you!

  2. What a fun post. I love checking your blog each day to see how your life is going. In response to your last two statements/questions.......we are all very lucky to be members of His restored church. It is a lifestyles that we choose and follow because a prophet of God, through revelation from our Father in Heaven, teaches us how to live. If you always follow the prophet you will continue to feel incredibly lucky. Remember that you will have hard times, rough times, maybe even down right difficult times, but the Holy Ghost will forever be your companion to help you through those times, as long as you live worthy to have that companionship. You can do it. Hope you are doing well with the approach of Saturday. I think Abi (Sis. McNeill) needs to cut her legs off for your baptism clothes to fit her. (It's been a long time since I have seen her in baptism clothes, my how she has grown)
