I am engaged. . .

I want to share with you a very special experience I had.

Today was the 184th General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and I was reassured by the leaders of my faith that this gospel and church is true.

I have always worn my CTR ring on my left hand ring finger. People always think I'm weird but there is a certain reason why.

One of my favorite Sunday School lessons, our teacher had us write down a list of qualities we want for our future eternal companion. So imagine your ideal qualities you would want. Now, reverse it this list and see how many of the qualities you wrote down are qualities that you yourself currently have. If you expect someone to be your perfect spouse, I believe it is only fair and equally beneficial to possess these qualities in yourself.

The one major quality I want my future Husband to have is to love the Lord and to live the teachings of this gospel. So, if I expect that in him, I must develop that quality in myself. I wear my CTR ring on my ring finger because I am striving to love the Lord with everything I am. I am engaged to the gospel of Jesus Christ. I want to become the best I can be.

There is no one that is perfect on the Earth, but there is someone that will be perfect for me. I can't wait to meet the person who loves the Lord as much as I do.
