This evening, before I sleep, I am feeling so thankful that I live in a time when the word of our Heavenly Father is available for you and I to read. As we search the holy scriptures we will truly come to understand how much God loves all of His children and will also come to understand the reason that He has sent each of us to earth to learn and grow for ourselves; to truly find the path that will lead each of us back to Him, realising and achieving our full infinite potential on the way. How blessed we are to have such beautiful testimonies, teachings, records, accounts and simple words which point our hearts in the right direction. God is good. Go and feast upon His word.

"I think there is no place in the world where I feel closer to the Lord than in one of His holy temples." - President Thomas S. Monson | Preston, England Temple #purposeandperspective #prestontemple #calledtoserve #families #ldstemples #ldstemple #mormon #mormontemple #blessingsofthetemple #vsco #vscocam #vscogrid #vscolove #vscophile

Had such a great visit to the temple on Thursday with my family. Guess what everyone... We have a Father in Heaven who loves us in the most full and incredible way possible. He has sent us here on earth to learn, grow and change and He is waiting for each of us to return in the glory of all we have learned and experienced. I love Him. I am grateful that He shares a little bit of home with us here on earth. #godisgood #truthconfirmed #bestillmysoul #theveilisthinner #lds #ldstemple #mormontemple #ldstemples

"This is my mummy," she says.

Tonight was a night of roasting marshmallows in the back yard with the family as well as chatting, laughing and singing together. My Grandpa put it best: "You just can't beat being around family. You can't beat it." #familytime #loveit #memoriesmadearoundthefire #vsco #vscogrid #vscocam #vscophile #vscolove

Oh my goodness! My favourite times are when both my nieces, Lillie and Marley, are together for me to hang out with. I didn't think it was possible to love two tiny humans SO much - it is such a pleasure. I looooove them!! #godisgood #childrenofgod #treasuringeverysecond #somuchlove #somuchjoy

Throwing back to one of the most incredible sunsets I have seen back in April this year whilst driving home in Scotland. The sky was on fire! #beautifulsunset #lookwhatHehasdone #godisgood #sweetmercy #godslovesurroundsus #openyoureyes #vsco #vscocam #vscophile #vscogrid

Alana! Thank you for the friendship... You make me laugh a lot; you let me sing to you as much as I want; I love hearing you sing and (trying) to give you lessons; your testimony is STRONG and I love our 1am gospel conversations in Eurocentral... Stick at it. I will miss the fun, kind company for the next two years but will expect a PEEEERTY when I get home. Many thanks for many things ;) ps. she is up for grabs dudes!!! Get in there.

Lillie Ellen Nicholson was blessed today by the authority of Christ's restored priesthood by her daddy. It seems to me that family is the best thing in the world and is the unit which brings us our greatest joy in this life and the next. We have the opportunity to be together forever in bonds of everlasting love!-- why would anyone not want that? #truthconfirmed #lds #loveistheway #leadmypath

Ice bucket challenge was quite the experience for myself - cold and me just don't cooperate. Nonetheless, it served for some entertainment ;)

I had a wonderful evening speaking at the Single Adult Convention in Manchester last Sunday and felt humbled to address such a mature congregation filled with much knowledge and understanding. In reflection, a highlight of the overnight trip was this sweet #PageantReunion with Sister Sammy Wills who was a paramedic last summer at the British Pageant. We spoke about how we have the opportunity to sharpen our tools at experiences like the Pageant and Convention (to name a few) and how it is our pleasure to then go into the world and use them as we hasten the work of salvation. Sammy cares so much for those around her and I hope to learn from her Christ-like kindness. Sure do love you Sammy. God be with you... #sweetfriends #godisgood #teachandbetaught #heartsareknit #zion

We thank thee, O God, for a true living prophet who selflessly leads and guides thy children with the spirit of deepest love and dedication. Happy Birthday President Monson! Thank you for the sacrifices you make to give each of us a clearer view of the path home to our Father in Heaven. I love you.

I have thought a lot about how busy and hectic life can become for each of us and how we then long for understanding and help. But sometimes we let words get in the way of how we truly feel inside about what's happening in our lives. When we feel defeated and have no strength to try; when we are running out of ways to make things better; when we have doubts unspeakable... Be sure that our Father in Heaven knows every fear, every doubt and our every weakness. When there are no words to say and no prayer to pray, simply choose to be quiet so that He can just hear your heart.
