I am a Mormon and have been a convert since Oct 30th 2010. The Church changed me. I am seriously a different person than to what I was before I joined the Church. I used to be a quiet girl that got along with everyone. It was like I didnt have anyone hate me or anything. I just got along with everyone. I wasnt quiet as in socially awkward. I was pretty out there with people but chose to stick to myself when I could. I wouldnt go out on the weekends to parties or anything as in my mindset I was like"uh yeah, why do i want to see my friends on the weekend when I see them everyday at school."You could say I was like my father. But then when I joined the church, I came ot of my comfort zone, and i dont know its like they brought out a side to me that I didnt even know was even there. I actually wanted to go out and do activities and hang out with people. I couldnt wait to go to church and see my new friends. Thinking now as Im writing this, it might have been because i knew these kids had the same standards as I tried to live outside of the Church. So yes there are people outside the Church who do live the same standards as those that are in the church.
I met my best friend and her family became my family. I have 4 mothers as each amazing woman played a different role in my life. The first obviously being my grandmother. My nan is such an amazing lady and if it wasnt for her efforts I wouldnt have gotten as far as I have. She has been there for me and my sister for the last 20years and I know she will be there til her last day. 
The second being my actual Mum as she is my biological mother and even though she wasnt there a lot of the time, we all make mistakes and go down the wrong paths but as long as we try to make the effort to make things right then thats all that matters and I believe that that is what she is doing now.
The third being my Aunty Ruth who with nothing has everything she could ever want. Even though they live day to day, i had the best upbringing with that family and they were grateful for anything and everything that was given to them. They taught me to be appreciative of everthing and even if you are on the skin and bones on your backside to never feel sorry for yourself and as long as you are still breathing, there is always a chance to help others and feed others even when theres hardly any food in the cupboards. Everyone will get fed even if its only a little bit. She is also the same lady that introduced me to the gospel.
And the fourth being my best friends Mum, Mumma Pena. I love this amazing woman as she has so much strength. She showed me how a family is supposed to look like and feel like. I felt like I was apart of the family as soon as I walked through those two doors to their home. I have been blessed with such marvelous woman its crazy. The Lord has blessed me more than enough with the influences I have in my life. 
I am a Missionary in preparation for The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I am going to be going on a volunteer mission run by the Church for18months to serve the people I come across wherever I get sent... whcih is anywhere in the world. To be able to help those in need for 18months and to be able to change peoples lives for the better is going to be an amzing adventure that i cannot wait to get started.I may not know a lot but I believe that I know enough to reach out to people. I will definately learn and grow from this experience. Heavenly Father has a plan for me most definately. Once I get home off my mission in 2015, I hope to be able to go to Med Schoool and become a qualified doctor. That is a big step. If my husband finds me first then I dont know but that is the goal. Im goign to be a doctor. My mum doesnt think I will and she said well prove me wrong. And so thats the plan. I will prove her wrong. 
For any of you who would like to read stories, this is where I am going to try and write once I get started...
Indecisive and Forbidden
