Hi! Well today is Sunday. Well I had an interesting day. chursh was so interesting. Today in Sunday School (sister mitchell) we talked about death. We talked about the 3 kingdoms of heaven and she drew us a picture like this:
Mortalitiy (earth) (line represents death) Spirt World/ Spirit Prison (hell) (line represents millenum) celestrial/telestrial/ telestrial kingdoms
* We talked about the 3 kingdoms of heaven and my teacher told us who would go to each.
I also learned something very important to. My teacher told me and was going to read our class from brigham youngs book that the spirit wourld is right here on earth and that it is like in another dimension but my dad says that he dont htink it is in another dimension but in the same dimension but our eyes are to mortal to even see it and that for the most rightous the vail gets a little thinner. So they can see more that someone who is normal (you know what I mean). When I told my dad this I got this good sudden chill I dont know what it ment but I know it is something good. I will be glad when I go to the temple so I will be baptizing for the dead and know Heavenly father and jesus would want me to do that. And I know there are people on the other side of the vail waiting patiently for us to allow them to be. Next year I hope to baptized great grandma Aimalee Wendt cuz I think she is waiting for someone to bringer her closer to the lord. Sister Mitchells lesson was great and I am going to remember it for the rest of my life. Love kari
(wow such convictions at such a young age :) )

Today is mother's day. I wish I could have done somthing for her. All I did was make her a little popporee bag that had a rose scent to it. I gave my mom a letter that I made last sunday. She asked me to do the dishes I did them but my mom came they werent done right so I did the shining again. I though I did it perfectly but my mom came again and started yelling at me. And then she said she hated everything I gave her and that the letter didnt mean anything to her. She bought herself a flower today and said I know no one bought her anything so she bought it for herself. I told her I would have bought her something but I didnt have any money, she told me that everything that I bought her she didnt like or want. :( (wow, uhmm yah, ok I guess there is bad with the good in my journal)...

Its monday today. I now work at Wegmans grocery store. I had to work today from 4-7 pm. Also today I am packing for my trip to Utah. I'm leaving the 17th and Im stayin with my brother Shawn for a day and then staying with the Nearies for a month. Yes, Shawn lives in Utah now in Orem close to where we used to live. He right now is preparing for his mission because here it's hard to prepar when you have so many temptations. He just had to get away from the influences of friends here. Well time flies, I am now going into 12th grade. It seems like yesterday I was in Junior high. In a year from now I will have graduated from high school on my way to college probably Ricks College in Idaho or Utah. I cant wait to leave New Yourk. New York is a hard place to live if your mormon. There are so many non-mormans here that its hard to date. Especially if you can only date members. There has been alot of traps that I have fallen into but I'm am doing and trying to do better. I'll be getting my drivers license soon. actually my night license (around my birthday). I cant wait. I met a really nice return missionary recently well he was really going ack home to St. George Utah. He was here on his mission. His name is Elder._______ (not going to say lol) The first time I saw him (really the second ) I knew I would see him again. I was weird our yes just met hwne we saw each other. Dont worry he was off his mission and waitinf for his parents to pick him up. I hope I met him again in the future. (oh how cute was I lol)

Well today is monday. Alot is happening in my life and I thought I should write about it. Well I am almost 18 yhears old in Sept. I thought that since I am almost 18 I should be able to write in my journal. Well alot has happened since I last wrote in my journal almost a year ago. My brother Shawn is going on his mission in July, July 29, you will never guess where- Dusseldorf, Germany. I always knew he would either go to germany or russia. Right now I am listening to my heavenly fathers plan tape. I almost always listen to it at night but today I had such a strong feeling to listen to it now. Maybe because I am so confused. I have so much going on in my life. I graduate from high school in 5 days. i'm leaving for college-yeah RIcks college in Idaho. I cant wait to go but on the other hand I am scared to death. I afraid of being away from security but I know it is necessary to grow and mature. I'm afraid of being alone. I made such good friends here and know I have to leave. I probably never see them again. It makes me sad. but I know it is necessary. Theer are new and exiting things awaiting me out there. I know I should get my patriarchal blesing to guide me in the right direction and to help me but I know right now I would not get the full blessings of it. I will get it before August 30- the day I go out into the world. I feel like "crying", my life has gone by me like a flash. I remember the first time I wrote in my journal it was February 14, 1984 (I am missing some of my journal entries and only knew that I had with this entry). I was 10 years old, things has gone by so fast. Now it's my turn to experience what life is really about. I have a few goals I will set:
1. Get prepared to be married in the temple
2. get good grades in college
3. stay with the gospel
4. always go to church
5. gain a testimony
I met a guy that I should not like.. He's mormon but off limits. He's 23 years old. He so nice to me. I am so confuse about his he seems to like me and I know I like him but he off limits... He's a missionary. I know I shouldnt have feelings for him cuz he's serving the lord but I dont know what it is...it's weird. He'll be off his mission in December. He seems to know alot about me. Ive never told him anythign about me. Well we'll see what happens in the future. WHEN HE IS OFF HIS MISSION. I forgot to mention his name...._________.
Well as you see I am one confuse person. I need some duidance. i know who to get it from- the lord. The lord is a special person and he will listen.
Love, Kari Wendt
(wow look at me and flirting with the missionaries haha so funny :) )
Well that is it for my childhood journals. I am missing a whole bunch of entries sadly. My next journal was the day before I went to ricks college all the way up to when I started to blog. I might put in a few entries when I started college but I am going to leave the rest sacred.
Thanks for listening and hoped you enjoyed seeing a life throught the eyes of a young Kari. :)
