This is awesome!

This my friends is the newest member to my family! Kinzie Joan Canfield! Its funny how nothing seems to matter when a new child is born. For a minute everyone stops and ponders the mysteries of God. As we sat and talked my brother Gene mentioned that Kinzie doesn't cry. I thought that was awesome but then again she had only been alive for 6 hours so she didn't really have much time to show off those lungs! And this got me thinkin. 6 hours ago Kinzie was with our Heavenly Father. I wonder what goes on in the conversation between God and a child as they are about to embark into the world. Does he warn her? Does he give her tips? Does he tell her that she is being sent to a loving home? I'm sure the last thing he tells a Child is, "I love you... and I will see you soon." HOW comforting would that be?

Preparing for a mission I tend to think about this alot. I'm going to miss my mom (I don't say my dad cause he's tough haha he will tell me to suck it up and be a man dangit!). If you ask my brothers she is one of the biggest influences in all of our lives. When we needed advice we go to her. When we are having a problem she is the first person we call. My mom is one of the single most important people in my life, and I'm going to miss her alot when I'm gone. We are talking about a lady who never missed making me an easter basket for 18 years, who still marked Santa Clause on my gifts this last Christmas and who when everyday I got home from work (at 8 A.M.) sat and talked with my while I ate breakfast. Saying good bye to someone who loves you so much is probably one of the hardest things a person has to do, but we know that we have to do it.

I think the same thing applys to Heavenly Father. I think its hard for him to let us go but he knows we have to do it. Which brings me back to Kinzie. She is at the point of starting a new adventure. I new path, a brand new life. She only has a certain amount of time left on this earth to leave a mark in peoples lives. To live her life to be an example of Jesus Christ. Now mind you she may need to learn how to crawl and walk and talk first. I am starting a new adventure. This time in my life is an awesome one. I get to teach and meet new people and tell them about Gods great gift of eternal life. Its kind of hard to be scared when you know that God is on your side. :) Luke 1:37

Humble yourself.

Does it surprise you sometimes how our pride can become a road block in life at times? Sometimes I just don't understand. A humble heart can make a blind man see, can heal a leper, can revive the dead. We can all see the miracles that happen to people who humble themselves into allowing the Lord into their lives.

I have a friend named Jade who 1 year ago wanted nothing to do with the Church. He was addicted to smoking and other things. He humbled himself and was challenged to read the Book of Mormon. In which he did. Did he stumble? Of course. But one year later I was able to watch him open his mission call. How awesome is that?!

I think sometimes we all need to sit back and take a look at our lives. Find whats causing us the most pain and fix it. I know thats what i've done and for the most part it has worked out so greatly. I love my friends, the Gospel, and am proud to be able to have the opportunity to serve a mission. I am so greatfull to be worthy to go to the temple and It will be an awesome experience. But for those who are not worthy, don't forget that its never to late and that the Lord loves you. Enter back into his fold and he will wrap his arms around you and embrace you with blessings of Love and Peace.

My Testimony

I know though that I am about to embark on something great, but I can only feel like something big is about to happen. I don't know what it is but... something is going to happen soon. In this case I want to bear my testimony so that when I or others are in need of a spiritual uplifting it is able to be read.

This is for my family, friends, and specifically for Teylor Lytle and Matt Stewart.

I have a testimony of God the Eternal Father and his son Jesus the Christ. I know that they love me. I know that God hears my prayers that he blesses my life with the ability to live in such a great and marvelous time. I have testimony in the atonement that Christ paid for me, that my sins are able to be forgiven so that I may be able to return to God. I wish to be more like him, compassionate, loving, obedient, humble. I know that one day I will have a chance to meet him and I will only be able to try to thank him. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church. That Joseph Smith was able to kneel and ask for the truth and received an answer from God himself. That the Book of Mormon was translated in the hands of a modern day prophet. I know that it is true. I believe in the words which were written by prophets of old. I have a testimony in the family. That it is the single most important thing in our lives. That all paths lead to the temple so that we may be able to live with our families forever. I believe in the message of hope. That in these latter days that we should be happy. That with our family we may be able to endure to the end. That we should have hope and love so that we may be able to get through the rough times. I love my Mother and Father. My mom is the single most important woman in my life, I love her so much. I wish that I could be more like her. She holds our family together and loves me with all her heart. I am grateful for a father who shows me that no matter what life throws at you, you keep going. I testify that God is my father, and loves all his Children. I believe in Jesus Christ and I am prepared to meet him again. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mormons Love College

Lyrics::

hat party last night was awfully crazy
I wished we taped
I danced my face off with the girl
my companion dated
Spiked coke into the lemonade
Pictionary's what we played
Passed out at 3 Wake up at 10
Then Go to church say the prayer AMEN
Man I love college HEY
I love Preaching HEY
Modest women HEY
I love College

I wanna go college for the rest of my life
being a mormon is flippin tight
FHE on monday night
followed by days of choosing the right
sometimes it gets rough
So lets all look up
2nd Nephi and Isiahah
And I'll show you whats up
I am champion at ping pong
Ya can't beat Hinkley or Monson
Get the friend and ensign in my house
See that girl who “Waited”
A companion she's datin

A letter from you mom followed by a dear Jon
letters from friends and all they could say is

That party last night was awfully crazy
I wished we taped
I danced my face off with the girl
my companion dated
Spiked Coke into the lemonade
Pictionary's what we played
Passed out at 3 Wake up at 10
Then Go to church say the prayer AMEN
Man I love college HEY
I love Preaching HEY
Modest women HEY
I love College

I served a mission for a year or 2
But Never really broke any rules
well chatted on facebook for a few
but got yelled at by my companion
but don't ask what the food is till its all gone
and take showers but don't stay in to long
Make sure your food calender has been written on
and when it comes to P days get your game on
Hold to the rod
but nothing wrong with some fun
Just remember its to college when your done
A letter from you mom followed by a dear Jon
letters from friends and all they could say is

That party last night was awfully crazy
I wished we taped
I danced my face off with the girl
my companion dated
Spiked Coke into the lemonade
Pictionary's what we played
Passed out at 3 Wake up at 10
Then Go to church say the prayer AMEN
Man I love college HEY
I love Preaching HEY
Modest women HEY
I love College

Now if everybody would please
Grab your gallon of milk and wait for me
Wait for me to start the time
Ready?

Chug chug chug chug chugh chug chug chug chug
Greenie Greenie Greenie Greenie
Dont throw up don't throw up don't throw up don't throw up
Gallon Challenge Gallon Challenge

LFG

In the game World of Warcraft you see alot of people saying LFG ... LFG means looking for group. What it is used for, for the most part is for people trying to find a group to go fight with them because they can't do it on their own. Today felt like a LFG day for me. It started off a normal day with waking up, I didn't feel to good but later started to feel better. So in the decision of starting to regain my social life I decided to hang out with someone. Well I soon found out that I had no one to hang out with. Yes that is correct I am obviously friendless. Have pitty on me for I have no friends haha. But actually I do have a couple, luckfully Sebation was able to help me out and hang with my in the midst of my tramatic life realization. So we hung out and did nothing for about as long as I could stand. Finally I was just about at the end of the road ... I had no where else to turn to ... but I just had to do it. I posted a LFG on Facebook, and very little people responded.

"Blair Canfield, anyone doing anything tonight? Anyone?"

Of course I got a few pitty ones,

"laundry and dishes...wanna help?" and "I'm taking my wife and daughter to Tony Roma's...thank you for caring!"

But of course, no one wanted to hang out with me. So now I admit, I have no friends and no social life but thats ok because I am currently LFG haha :)

April FOOLS

For all those who fell for my April fools day joke on FaceBook haha I am very sorry. This is for you though to show you how much I care! Haha if I had really won a $1,000.00 It would have gone towards my mission. For those who have no clue what im talking about haha I will post what everyone else heard and got to see below.



It started when I posted a Status update on FB

Blair Canfield just won a thousand dollars from a del taco cup!!!!!

People started flooding my page with msg's stating haha good try and oh your lying. Well I was haha but thats besides the point.

Then I explained what had happened.

" I was just enjoying my delicous Chicken Soft taco combo meal and they were doing that little cup game thing and if the two tags matched you go whatever it was ... from like Fries up to 100,000$. I got the 100 dollar prize which is like in the middle. So I went up to the cashier who called out the manager. They checked to make sure that the numbers added up with the cup and then they called the regional manager who drove over and presented me with a check for $1000. And yeah my mom was like ... April fools blair lol ... april fools... I was like I so hope not haha and yeah so I have 900 dollars (100$ goes to tithing) to do whatever the heck i want with ... haha i'll save it for my mission."

Then people wanted proof.

So I provided

This is real...

These are all real....

But the cup ... is fake. Its the flyer you get when you roll through the drive through.

Actually the only thing that I got for free was the coupon on the back of the flyer for a free fish taco. The money come from my parents business. Sooo when I posted these pictures everyone started believing ... kinda.

Soo if you did believe me ... Rachel ... I am sorry haha it was just a joke no money. I'm still broke but hey I got a good laugh :D
