Because I know you, I have been changed for good 💕




 Yesterday I had the opportunity to attend the Ogden temple. ♥️One of my seminary students got her mission call and asked me if I’d come! I was so excited to be able to go! It’s been more than a year since I’ve been inside the temple and I’ve missed it so much. The session was beautiful and as I sat in the celestial room, I felt so much PEACE and LOVE from my Heavenly Father. It truly is His house. 🙏🏻


If you know Rose, you know that she is such a LIGHT! Her testimony is so strong and she makes everyone around her want to be better. She inspires me so much! She isn’t afraid to be herself and she is the kindest person you’ll ever meet. 🌹


As we chatted last night after the session, she said to me “Sister Wanner, this may be the last time that I see you.” 😞 (She leaves for her home MTC next week, then she’s off to serve in Florida) I told her that “It’s never goodbye, just see you later.” That’s what I always have to tell myself. She started to cry, which made me cry. 😭 We both just stood there and sobbed for a minute while we hugged. I told her how GRATEFUL I am that Heavenly Father put us into each other’s lives and how much I loved her.♥️ 


My heart breaks a little every time I have had to say goodbye. Whether it’s leaving a job, leaving my family, or saying goodbye to dear friends. 💔 But I think experiences like that help us all become better, more grateful individuals. They make room in our lives and hearts to help us love more.


I’m so grateful I was able to teach seminary for the year that I did. The experiences I had, lessons I learned, and people I met, have truly changed my life & have made a better person. I’ll cherish them forever! 💕


“I've heard it said

That people come into our lives

For a reason

Bringing something we must learn

And we are led to those

Who help us most to grow if we let them

And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today

Because I knew you, I have been changed by you.” 🎶💕😭🌹♥️🙏🏻

My body: ❤️

  New post: My body: Warning ⚠️ vulnerable post ahead!  I’ve always been more on the plus size side and have really tried hard to work on myself to become more confident with my body. I’ve tried to feel comfortable in my own skin and to love and accept my body in every stage, because EVERY stage is beautiful! But I’m not perfect at it and some days are hard. I’ve recently gained some weight that has come with the stresses of life (uggg it’s the worst) life changes, etc. and have found myself absolutely CONSUMED with my body and how “awful” I think I look. 😓 I’m the girl in a room thinking of my weight and if I’m the heaviest. Constantly comparing my body to everyone else’s. I always thought that I had to have this “perfect” body to feel accepted and that if I didn’t fit this standard of beauty that I would have no value.  I find myself comparing my body to everyBODY that comes along. I remember for almost every birthday growing up, secretly wishing to be “skinny” and thinking that if

God is love ❤️

 I recently attended the funeral services of Cason’s uncle that unexpectedly passed away. Even though I didn’t know him super well, he was such a kind man! Tears fell as the talks, memories, and testimonies of his family, grandchildren, and friends were shared. I walked away feeling so uplifted ❤️🙏🏻 it was such a spiritual funeral. I think that’s the point, when loved ones pass, is to get you to reflect on your own life and the people around you. I felt so much love that day-So much care and concern that God is aware, He is in control, and He knows what we are all going through! I know God has a plan for each of His beloved children. I know He loves each and every single one of YOU! Yes, YOU. I know that not a tear falls that He doesn’t know about or of a hurtful thought that was said to you. He celebrates the good times and is there for us in the bitter times. He finds joy in the things that make us laugh and in the people we help along the way. He truly is our biggest fan and cheer

LIVE ☀️

  New post: I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting recently and realized that it’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to write a new post.  Hardships and loss, like most thought provoking experiences we are all going to get to go through, bring lots of reflection. Loss of a loved one, compassion for those experiencing the loss, and the sorrow and grief that come along, that you don’t quite understand and realize, until you go through it yourself.  Death and change, ironically, make you think and reflect on your own life. The impact you make, the example you set, the kindness you show, the love you give freely, and the acts of service you show to others.  It (hopefully) makes you want you try harder. To be a little better. To love more. To give more. To serve more. To LIVE more. To not let the opportunities pass you by. To spend more time with the ones you love. To do the things you’ve dreamed of doing. To not sweat the small stuff and to actually LIVE. ☀️ So here’s to the new version o
