Brennen, Jennifer, and Ellen

When you hear of those 3 names who do you think of?  Jennifer Lopez, Ellen DeGeneres, and Brennen Konold. Don't get me wrong, Ellen and Brennen are both great people. Jlo I have reasons to dislike. But I when I think of the names Jennifer, Brennen and Ellen, I think of Sister Skaggs, Elder Eisenhut, Hermana Logan. These 3 missionaries are great people in my life and here's why.



Hermana Logan. She has been a 2nd sister to me since I was in the 3rd grade. I have pretty much grown up with her living in my house. Fun fact: when I was in the 6th grade, I left the bathroom door unlocked while using the restroom and she walked in. That's how often she was at my house. I pretty much grew up with her being a sister. Of course I loved Jennifer Skaggs, my actual sister, but I loved Ellen. And so when she was called to serve in Chile, I was so excited. And she was called to leave the same day as my sister. But different MTCs. But I am so happy for her example to serve a mission. I technically have two sisters out on missions right now and it just makes me happy.



ELDER EISENHUT. Ok. This dude I love in the biggest way you can love another dude without being gay. Like man, he was always there for me. The gym, the pool, my chauffeur, and my Jersey Mikes dates. He is such an inspiring person. I was really sad when he went on a mission but it has really influenced me to want to serve a mission. Can I just skip senior year and serve a mission now??? Luckily, he will get back right before I leave for 2 years. His testimony of the gospel is so strong and he just strives to live the standards of the church. His compassion towards others and kind and uplifting personality just made himself a person that you wanted to be around. I'm so happy he decided to serve a mission and so I can follow in his footprints. Dang do I sure miss him.



SISTER.......... SKAGGS. Lastly, the bestest sister in the whole wide world. Omg!!! She's having such a blast on her mission. It's so much harder then people think. In most missions you are allowed a lot of down time. My sister is on Temple Square.  For those of you who don't know, it's the big temple and church headquarters in Salt Lake City.  Her work day is 7:30 AM to 9:30 PM with one 1 hour lunch break in the middle of that. That sure takes perseverance. She is a great example and though she may be gone for 18 months, she's gone for a good cause. I love her and I'm so happy for what my sister is doing.



Honestly these are some of the best examples ever. I love them all. One is in Utah, while one is serving in Texas right on the Mexican border and the other is all the way down in Chile.  They may be in different parts of the world but they are all doing the same thing: helping people come unto Christ. Although not everyone will convert, they are doing great things. Thanks for being examples. I love them all.
Love,
Michael Skaggs

Grateful for everyone reading this

Ok. I know I still need to talk about my sister, Ellen, and Brennen serving missions but I will get to that sooner or later.



Right now, as I sit on my bed listening to the instrumental radio on Pandora I figured it would be a great time to write a post thanking my readers. Now of course I should be doing my AP Calculus homework but I think Ms. Clabaugh won't mind especially if I give her a shoutout and tell her tomorrow morning to read my blog because she's in it. HELLO MS. CLABAUGH IF YOU ARE READING THIS. YOU ARE THE BEST TEACHER EVER. Oops I hope my other teachers don't read this. Haha. I love all my teachers.



Anyway, I wanna thank everyone for reading my blog. You guys don't understand how much it truly means to me that I have friends who are willing to read my boring yet funny blog about church. I have a few people I want to personally shoutout later because they have told me how amazing my blog is. Honestly if you love my blog I would love to hear from you. Throw me an email at michaelskaggs456@gmail.com. I'm not giving out my # because who knows who's reading my blog. But I love everyone who reads this because it truly is a self esteem raiser. And I always feel good about myself.



Now the first person who I wanna recognize is Ashlynn Henderson. We have a history of bitterness and hatred but she's a great friend. She text me the other day after I advertised my blog on Snapchat and said it was amazing. And I was just like wait, you're the first person to tell me that. I didn't tell her but it's true. Yeah, I've seen the views on my blog, 24 being the most on a post but no one has actually told me how great it was. So she really did brighten my day.



The other person is Haley Koford. She Snapchatted me back and said she loved me blog. So this time she was the 2nd one to ever tell me that. And once again it just made my day. I was just in awe that people are actually enjoying my blog. Well I guess 24 views with 2 people who liked it, maybe I should be worried. But Haley sure did make my day better.



Honestly, those 2 are probably my favorite people ever right now. Please, if you love my blog tell me. If you hate it then don't talk to me ever again. jk. But it would make my day if you complemented me on my blog. And you might make it as one of my post. As I still sit here listening to instrumental, I still have my math homework lying here waiting to be done and hopefully will get done. But I just love writing on my blog, hoping to change someone's life.



Thank someone in your life today. Thank them for being there for you.
Thank them for being a cool person.
Just thank them for being alive.
Thank everyone you know.

AND I THANK EVERYONE FOR BEING ALIVE BECAUSE YOU ALL INFLUENCE ME SOMEWAY OR ANOTHER.

Love you all. Goodnight.
