Hi, I am Leticia!

At the SLC Temple with my mom after Conference.
Hello Everyone!

My name is Leticia. I am from San Diego, California. I have been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for five years. I am currently a senior at San Diego State University. I am majoring in Psychology.

I learned about the church through one of my college World Religion Philosophy courses. For my final in the class, I decided to write a paper about Mormons. I didn't know much about Mormons and I was eager to learn more. I requested a Book of Mormon and the elders called me 20 minutes later. They made an appointment with me the next day to drop it off. They came back again and we started the missionary discussions. After a month of lessons, I got baptized! I was the first one in my family to become a member of the church. A month later, my mother and sister were baptized. Two years later, my uncle got baptized.
 As of now, we are the only ones who are members of the church. I still talk to one of the elders that taught me on a weekly basis. I've gone to General Conference multiple times. I love it! The spirit there is so strong! I hope everyone at least once in their lifetime has the opportunity to go! I've had many callings as well from primary teacher to ward missionary to nursery leader. I hope to get married in the temple one day!

I look forward to getting to know everyone else on this blog.

Laptop Review

I dedicate this to Trevor Hicken, my brother, who I hope will be writing for you soon. He is a technology wizard. A3 Ultra-slim 14.0" LCD Screen 1366x768 Windows 7 Intel D2500 + NM10 Dual Core 1.86GHz 1GB RAM Laptop Computer with Wi-Fi (160GB HD) (Silver) From Focalprice A Completely Lousy Chinese Product I bought this laptop for my brother, expecting that it would run according to it's specs, but it didn't. The version of Windows 7 was many years old, making it very slow. It would have taken forever for my brother to update it, so he put Linux on it. When he did that, he found that the laptop would not hold the operating systems. He would have to install the software over and over. He found an operating system that seems to be holding, which works okay; however, the battery only lasts about 40 minutes now, since he accidentally let it die. It is basically a laptop from the nineties.

'Telling the Truth' by Lesego Mholo

I'd rather be hurt by you telling me the truth than lies. Keep deceiving people and think they don't know. One day it will catch up with you. The truth hurts when its contrary to what your made to believe.  In one way or another lies always catch up with us, our consciousness doesn't let us lie for too long. Lying affects trust and loyalty in a relationship when your lied to you feel like you no longer belong you feel inadequate, telling the truth solidifies a relationship bond, and it might signify love or care; furthermore, telling the truth to me it tells that your emotionally mature. The truth makes me feel secure. Sometimes we give our hearts to people, and they think we are stupid for that we end up depending on them for loyalty. Truth is the only way two people can survive in a relationship and mutual understanding but reassurance and trust are the only things that might keep the relationship functioning. Dishonesty is the beginning of a fading relationship and...

How should man depend on God?

      This essay is a reflection on the revelations from Brother Peck’s Book of Mormon class from the spring semester of 2015, which covered the second half of the book of scripture. The composer of this essay is Alexander Hicken. There is a theme within the insights written about in this document. It is our dependence on God; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. There are four doctrines or principles addressed within this composition in relation to the forgoing mentioned nature of our relationship with God. The first is based on the fall of Adam. Second is a reflection on our weaknesses, comparing it to rebellion. Third is the example of the prophets, who give their will to God, depending on his word for their life’s pursuits. Lastly, our dependence on Christ’s atonement is the concluding topic.      The first doctrine addressed in this document comes from an article that was written by the composer of this essay, when B...
