SPIRITUAL THOUGHT: 

Random thought of the week but i was recently asked to send in my biggest lesson i learned while serving in YSA for 6 months and I thought i would share what I sent in.

"Know what you believe and believe what you know"

I wont say much on this quote but if theres one thing that YSA taught me its to stand firm in your belifs but to also know what you believe in. It was a crazy experience to see so many people my age be so firm in their faith or religon. They knew what the believed and they believed what they knew. It was admirable and something I learned to do while I was in YSA. Obviously im still learning more and more but its cool to see that as we work to learn more god will help us understand the things we are learning. God wants us to increase our testimony and knowledge!!! 

I love and miss you all!
