Capstone Practicum Application

My Application Process


As I was studying each week about the different Apostles and the prophet Russell M. Nelson, their talks were very inspiring. I was happy to be able to learn about the different ways I can find more joy in the journey. I also learned more about the Spirit and how to listen to it. The feelings that I get to know when I pray are so much stronger because of what I have been studying about with the topic of prayer. I knew about compassion and humility, but after this past semester, I needed to show more of that and I am glad that I was able to learn how to. I know that the other topics I was able to study have helped me as a person develop more attributes like my Savior, Jesus Christ. 

I wanted to share an example of how I was able to apply these topics in my life. Well, each week in my REL 333 class, we were assigned a certain member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. This was very exciting for me to read and I loved learning about each of them. As I would listen to their talks, I would look for ways their talks correlated with the topics that I chose. Most of the time I could relate them to each other and I was able to feel spiritually lifted. Other times, I would look up another talk by the current Apostle I was studying and apply what that talk had with my chose topic. 

Listening and reading each talk was truly inspiring, but the real question is, how did I apply it in my daily life? Well, as I would go about my day, I shared moments of learning with my husband and friends. They knew I was taking this class and allowed me to speak about my experiences and how I would pray with a sincere heart and appreciate things like family, my agency, the hope that comes through addiction, the power of the Atonement, the gift of the Holy Ghost, showing more humility and compassion, and enjoying each day of this journey called life.

The Dating Life Before Marriage

October 27, 2018 Alright to start off for you all here's the dets:  I am a single 22 year old living in Rexburg right now. I can't tell you how many couples I see on campus everyday. Today actually I witnessed someone getting proposed to. It was really cute and everything but I grinned and kept walking. I thought to myself, "I wonder when that day will come".  While I was serving the Lord in Uruguay for 18 months and teaching about the plan that He has for families, I was able to teach it to newly married couples. My point is, I have been thinking about the thought of marriage for quite some time now. It is very common for people to come home off of their missions and get married really fast. Many people think that it's because of their mission presidents who tell them at the very end that they need to get married. But I can say that my mission president didnt urge me to get married right away. He said I need to "date around". I took that is get to kn...

Parenting.. Is it easy?

December 8,  2018 This is a topic that I could talk about for a long time honestly. I love learning about why parenting can be difficult and what makes it easier. I also like the thought that one day I will have kids. I will have to understand how to parent them! This class that I am taking right now, has been helping me understand the why and the what of parenting. I find it so interesting actually!  For my blog post this week I wanted to address the purpose of parenting and what are the outcomes of it. We discussed in my class that parenting has a purpose. The purpose of parenting is to PROTECT and PREPARE children to survive and thrive in the world we live in. I really like that purpose because I feel that parents should make it a goal to be able to help their children in that way. I believe that children should feel in the home being lifted up to accomplish the dreams they want to. The words "survive" and "thrive" have powerful meanings to them. Yes paren...

FATHERS AND FINANCES

December 1, 2018 What Is The Role of the Father? Many people know that the role of the father is the provider of the home. The father is very important to the family because he is hard-working and always trying to keep the family up on their feet. This could be financially as well as physically. The father also wants to protect the family as much as possible from possible harm. This is why sometimes being a father can be stressful. I believe that God gave all of the men this responsibility before we came to earth so that they could feel like they really needed to protect their families and provide for them in such a way. The last thing that father's do is preside in the home. What does it mean to preside? Well in my opinion they are the one's who oversee things. I am going to talk about the role of mothers too here in a sec and how they oversee differently. But the fathers have to understand that they need to make a lot of the decisions when it comes down to it. Think about...
