I, like most people, make a lot of mistakes. But I’ve learned that the sins and mistakes you make don’t have to be permanent. There is redemption in Jesus Christ. Names of Christ like Redeemer and Saviour are my favorites. It’s nice to know that there is a way back and that our sins and mistakes don’t have to be permanent.

I’ve also felt like community has been a big help in my life, especially the ward and my school friends. I’ve learned from my ward who I am as a person—it’s shaped me. And my friends are what lift me and keep me going. Having people with me helps me feel the Spirit a lot more.
