Hoops for Hope

Hoops for hope is a world wide free throw where kids shoot free throws for money. Each shot is worth a dollar. I am helping organize one in the Harbor creek junior high gym on may 7th. The money goes to orphaned aids children in Africa who have lost there parents to aids and also to build a 2nd treatment center in Africa. There was already a school and a treatment center build. A 13 year old boy from Arizona started this world wide fundraiser because he wanted to do something to help those orphaned kids and he started with a hoop and a basketball. You can also make donations.

A BRAND NEW YEAR!!

Everyone wants to set a new years resolution. Most my age people say its stupid and just say oh i just want to get straight A's, but they never think about things to do with there church because it isn't true that is non members. But members of our churches youth put things like say more meaningful prayers and study the scripture honor thy father and mother and for that i am truly grateful. My new years resolution is to study the scriptures daily, pray twice a day,to try to say more meaningful prayers, and to work on personal progress more often. I just want to say how grateful for the gospel and how it has touched my life many times. I also am very grateful for my uncle Ollie who brought the gospel to our family so i could grow up in it. Like the song goes "i thank thee for sending the prophet."
