Took some time to be with my nieces for the holidays and we went to the Traverse Outlet Mall in Lehi, UT Window shopping is the best kind of shopping!! lol

As usual Jayjay being her silly self just relaxing by the TV watching herself on YouTube. heheh

 Playing with makeup and seeing how well they can put it on...Talia did her best to copy the simple steps of applying makeup that I did on the right side of her face. She did a good job. I can't wait to see how well she will do applying makeup when she gets older.  I do enjoy making memories with my nieces.

Of course we can't have a sleepover without at least going to the Nickel arcade for some fun.

Once in a while I would get into my spiritual studies and go head on with it. I've learn so many things that I didn't know or didn't pay close attention to. So being an adult and trying to better my understanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I notice that there are so much to learn. This may take a whole life time to study every book or teachings. But I also learned that you don't have to know everything, but study what you can and let the Holy Spirit guide you in opening your understanding. It may seem impossible and it can be but as we learn little by little, we will be amazed on the knowledge we gain from doing that. I hope to understand what the Lord would have me know and use it for good to help anyone who may not understand the doctrines. If we want to know or learn something, it takes dedicated studying and determination to get to where we want to be. I know I'm slowly taking that road and I pray for Spiritual guidance every step of the way. Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to  study now and learn from prophet and apostles of Old & Modern. God is Good.

It's been a scary ride for the Atuaia family. Baby peri was born just a few days ago but things wasn't looking too good with her little body & her health. Being sick since day 1 was worrisome for her family and everyone who knows her family. I'm glad that you've finally gotten better to be home with your brothers and sisters whose been worried for you. God is Good and I'm thankful that he has watched over you every moment of your life.

My dearest Peri,

I know that your life had a rocky and scary start. But as you fought for your life and held onto what you could, the Lord blessed you with strength to over come your physical challenges. You persevere and showed the world that you were born a fighter of faith and strength. As you grow older, my dear Peri, use that to your advantage to bring light and truth to the world. The strength that you have inside you was meant to be shared and to be a witness to those that you meet. With that you will be a special blessing in their lives. Stay close to the Lord and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as you do so you will bring many souls unto God who was lost or confused. Share your love and happy spirit with your family and friends. Everyone will be edified by just being even the smallest part of your presence. Don't ever let your guard down as you will face many challenges in your life. Protect your Virtue and your innocence. This world would do anything to corrupt the minds of many young special spirits like yourself. But as you stay faithful and virtuous, the Lord will protect you every moment of your life. Be supportive towards your siblings and your parents. They are your best friends and biggest supporters. Study hard in school and in the Gospel. This will benefit you and your family in the future. I love you very much Peri. May the Lord forever bless, guide and protect you.
Love always,
Aunty JayLynn
