For those who don’t know: I‘ve been under a student visa for 2.5 years. I came to the U.S to get my masters degree and ended up meeting my husband. We’ve been married for a year, I am graduating in April with my masters at BYU, and I just received my green card 😁
I just heard Archuleta’s new song. Not to criticize or agree with him, just out of curiosity. Just wanted to comment on one line when he says, “Love is earned”. I hope everyone out there knows that God and Jesus Christ’s love is not earned; it is always there, already given.
I am going to say it and I don’t care if I get hate.
I am not going to unfollow or mute people if they curse, but if you consider yourself an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ and write a tweet cussing, I think you should reconsider. Why not choose celestial?
Thanks.
I'm feeling prompted to share this experience.
I was 17 when I felt the power of the Atonement of my Savior Jesus Christ working in my own life. Until then, I heard stories and experiences, and I knew that the Atonement enabled me to repent and live a better life.

I love the fact that these people are all ignoring the fact that you sign an ecclesiastical endorsement every year which asks you to abide with the Honor Code.
So tired of this crap.
This is my first time with LDS X during general conference and it’s awesome. Not only keeps me engaged, but sometimes quotes I miss or can’t catch up with are shared here by all of you. Thank you everyone who contributes to the awesome Spirit here.
#GeneralConference
I pay tithing because I love God & my Savior + I know it is a commandment. I don’t need reports on where my 10% goes. I have received far too many blessings from paying tithing without even caring where it goes. Arguments don’t affect me. Blessings speak louder than assumptions.
I am so shocked of what is going on right now. I don’t know how to react to any of this. I don’t know what to think or say. I don’t know how so many of these women got lost in the path and lost their identity. I don’t understand what is going on.
I have started to attend a self-reliance group and one of my commitments this week is to make my prayers more meaningful. What are some things you do to make your prayers more meaningful? I have been struggling with this for quite awhile now. It just seems so superficial.
I really hope they address this issue in General Conference and they roast the crap out of women. I’m disgusted by this behavior. I do not want to be part of a RS that seeks power over Christlike attributes.
I want to see those beloved women who want to become bishops to leave and come back home at 3 AM because there was an emergency with a ward family. This was my dad’s reality for 9 years. Not 5. 9. And many other things. My mom was my dad’s and my family’s strength.
And showing her every day, when she wakes up, He can make the pain a little more bearable until it is not pain anymore. Friends, Jesus Christ lives. No matter what struggle you are going through, know that He lives. He will take care of you. And He will turn pain into experience.
Could you pray for my husband? He is going to have an interview today for a job he really wants and that would work great with our plans for the next couple of years.
Thank you in advance.
I miss my long hair and my 19 year-old body.
But that’s ok.
I am a daughter of loving Heavenly Parents. And this includes loving the body they gave me at all stages.
Skirt check. They wanted to call me as Primary 1st Counselor, but we are moving Wednesday. Never worked in Primary… maybe my next ward will give me the chance!
Could you guys pray for me really quick? I just ate dinner. If I throw up again, I might need to go to the hospital since I have thrown up breakfast and lunch today including liquids. I just want to keep food down so I’m not starving anymore.
I am shocked at how many of these women have never understood their covenants.
Maybe we do need to better prepare people to make and receive covenants in the temple.
Today was a very long day. Got home thinking I had to cook dinner and my husband cooked carbonara, bought flowers, a cute card, a sparkling cider bottle, and a Valentines teddy bear all very well displayed on the kitchen table. I just cried. I married a good man.
I'm in a YA married ward and it's great, but we have a pool party today. My husband was like "Why are they doing a pool party with grown-up married adults?". Some leaders sometimes have to remember that we are not YSA anymore lol.
For the longest time I have silenced my stances and my beliefs for the sake of peace while others have constantly lied, made false accusations, and shared their opinions with no consequences. This ends today. I am not afraid. I don’t care what anyone thinks.
Women: we want to hear more from female leadership.
Sister Johnson talks and shared her experience of letting God prevail while working, studying, and raising a family.
Women: 😡🤬😤
??
The Atonement of Jesus Christ is real. It's not instant. It takes time. Sometimes 2 days, 2 months, or 2 years. But Christ is real. He is that voice in a lonely 17 year old girl room telling her He is there.

I agree. I just hate the narrative that “I was kicked out because of sexual orientation”. Wrong. You were kicked out cause you are dating a woman that also goes to BYU and broke the honor code + lied.
Stake pres. shared something very insightful today in prep for some visits: "If you get stuck, try something that has never failed me. Tell them we prayed to know which families needed to receive a visit. Then ask them, "Why do you think the Lord wanted us to meet you tonight?".
I never had faith crisis because of church history, polygamy, or JS/Brigham Young. I had a faith crisis when I heard a false suicide speech in the church. I couldn’t believe in a God who would condemn His precious sons and daughters based on a moment of pain. 🧵
I think my husband will baptize one of his friends. Talking on the phone about scriptures and interpretation. Every time they play Xbox, they talk for hours about scriptures & other principles. My husband has asked his dad to send him a Book of Mormon. He said he will read it.
I had a spiritual impression in a temple celestial room clearly testifying to me that the Lord is mercy, but also justice. I felt it in my core. Not out of fear, but out of respect. He is merciful with my flaws inasmuch I keep striving. Love and justice do not exclude each other.
Story time. Get ready.
Two or three semesters ago, my husband had to take a sociology class. I attended two or three of those classes because he was my ride home and it was convenient to just stay on campus and wait for him. (1/…)
His request to withdraw the class with no negative consequences was granted. The vice-president told him directly and apologized for it. Now tell me the humanities department does not have an agenda.
I don’t think you can actively break your covenants and expect the same blessings of those around you who are striving their best. This doesn’t mean those who keep their covenants don’t struggle. They do. But I think there is a correlation between struggles, covenants, and joy.
Just wanted to hop-on and say that both my master's report and portfolio defense passed. Just gotta finish two classes now and I will officially graduate this semester.
Baby is a little ahead; about 10 weeks! Kept moving the whole time! 🤣 So fun to see all the movements! They want to track my blood pressure but everything is looking good! Going back in 3 weeks for genetic testing and blood pressure follow-up. Thank you for the prayers ❤️

Oh, she was dating the girl. They were both in my program; everyone knew. But they literally disregard that they broke the honor code and only tell their side of the story.
I commented this scripture in one of Dr. Julie’s posts and people have been commenting and my response has been: “Think Celestial. Have a great Sunday!”. No further replies after I reply this each time. Following the prophet is cool. 😎
I shared today in RS that I think that most of the time in church, activities, and even interactions we miss the mark: we don’t focus enough on Christ.
How can we focus more on Christ in church meetings, lessons, activities, etc?
I have a little more compassion with kids going to FSY who dress immodestly than young adults who attend BYU and break the honor code/dress and grooming standards.
OH MY GOODNESS, YES. SOMEONE FREAKING CONFRONTED HER.
I literally want to leave a comment saying “Thank you for speaking up and setting the record straight. One-sided narratives are never the answer”.
I love the fact that these people are all ignoring the fact that you sign an ecclesiastical endorsement every year which asks you to abide with the Honor Code.
So tired of this crap.
I’m struggling today. I feel so gross, absolutely useless, and so tired. My house is a mess, my brain is a mess, and I have no energy to do anything. I’m also very tired; feels like I didn’t sleep at all last night. I just want to feel normal and be more productive.
My husband’s grandmother sent us $5k has a Christmas gift. When we looked at the account yesterday we were shocked. We messaged her and she said it was for our studies and living expenses with a merry Christmas all caps. Blessings of paying tithing? Here’s one.
My goodness. The apostasy and blasphemy from members who expect the Church of Jesus Christ to yield to feminist worthily values. A complete embarrassment.
I just want to share my disappointment tonight at our neighborhood. We’ve been moving since Wed. It’s really inconsiderate to be playing a game right outside my door and seeing my husband carrying boxes & me pregnant trying to help and not even offering help. +
Why do people ask what they should talk about in their lessons/callings?
You have revelation for your ward/stake/area depending on your calling.
Stop asking people on X what they think and ask the people you serve what they need.
