You made a great choice joining the church, I hope you know that your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ both love you so much. Not having any friends or family in the church can be hard, you are very strong and the lord is so proud of you for turning to the church
It may help you to know what when I was struggling to stay faithful to what I know, God helped me bu revealing to me 2 Nephi 2:25, which says, "Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself." When I read this, God used it to tell me that I wouldn't be happy anywhere else! So go ahead and pray to Heavenly Father that you may receive whatever you need to, to be able to stand strong. I hope this really helps. We love you! In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Follow your gut my friend it is not worth the emotional trauma. There is a reason you are struggling, it is not natural to live in such a restricted way.
Wow, I admire your goals and your priorities, the Lord will always be with you, when you put Him and keep him in your life and walk in his ways! I can see you becoming a winning Olympian ❣️
It’s always so inspiring to see that people with such busy lives can still find time and be so close to the Lord! I struggle to read my scriptures every night and my schedule is nowhere near that tight, so it helps me to know that I can do it if I just keep trying!
If you agree with this young lady by preparing everyday in the things you love you can accomplish anything especially if, bye remembering our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Repent and accomplish more than what you would ever think . Putting your armor on daily reading scriptures and prayer you can accomplish and block even the fiery darts discouragement and complaining. I know we have many young people even older people that keep this way of life and work on things you can change. Pray for the things you can't change at the time and the Heavenly Host will come to help eagerly.
Love this video. You are super talented. Hoping to see you on the world stage soon. Thanks for setting a good example for others by putting aside time for God each day. Faith, family and soccer. Maybe say faith, family and football :) that has a nice ring to it.
KAIZEN applied towards Sports, Education, Work and Christ amen and AMEN . The Kaizen approach consists of 5 founding elements : teamwork, personal discipline, improved morale, quality circles, suggestions for improvement.
you are an inspiring young woman. You showed me that I can still get out and do things I want to do and need to be doing. I always set daily goals and long term goals for myself. I'm 53 and went back to college at the beginning of the pandemic to study Medical Billing and Coding. Ihave six classes left until i gratuate. Then I am going to enhance my calling as a Family History Consultant calling by becoming a certified genalogist. I love the youth program in setting goals. Keep up the great work.
That‘s what the prophets have been talking about all these years! Today’s youth has an unimaginable potential! Thank you for sharing your passion and love for the Lord with us and so many people in your reach! You‘re a great example to all of us!
There is ➡One ⬅ God, & there is 0ne mediator..between God & men, the ➡ Man ⬅ Christ Jesus, ( 1 Timothy 2 : 5 ) ( This Proves Jesus Is not God ) If there is 0NLY 0NE G0D & the mediator.between God & men is Jesus, how is it possible Jesus is God ❓❓❓ The ➡ Man ⬅ Jesus Is the mediator between God & men It does not say ➡ God ⬅ is the mediator between God & men
Setting goals is really important I can agree. Just yesterday for Young men's we combined with the young woman's and we had a great lesson from the young woman that they taught us about SMART goals. The acronym stands for specific, measurable, Achievable, Relative, and Timely/timebound. we talked about how you can use this to help make your goals better for you and/or your family.
I still remember many young men, my seminary classmates talking how I want to be like Steve Young "American Footballer" one day? This is just a Great Example for many young women to one day be like Olivia "The Other kind... European Footballer". Just kuddos that Olivia got to train with one of the Greatest Carlie Lloyd!!!
I have a goal, to become a writer and someone who does movies! And I sometimes ask the lord for help and inspiriation! I truly do believe that Heavenly father is always there for us! Thank you for sharing your testiomony. It is truly inspiring!
This is impressive. Olivia has a maturity well, well beyond her 16 years. She is probably more spiritually mature and wiser than %90 of ADULTS in this world, all due to her faith in Jesus Christ. I just watched this with my 2 year old daughter, I hope I can "coach" her up to be similar to Olivia.. spiritually. Soccer would be a plus too ;)
AWESOME example this girl is!!! She has a great regimine, and her age doesn't matter... Old or young, it's all about the FOCUS👀 God bless you young lady!🙏🏼💗
Lois. You can do it. Ashley Hatch who now plays for the US Women's National team never played on Sundays growing up. Now that she is a professional, her occupation requires it but she worked hard and accomplished the goals she set for herself without playing on Sundays. My own daughter is playing soccer at a D1 school and never played on Sundays growing up. It was a difficult path. She had to forgo playing in a lot of finals, was not able to do ODP, likely missed out on potentially being pulled into some US youth pools, and ultimately had to guest play out of state to accomplish her goals but it was worth it. If you honor the Lord, He will honor you and help you accomplish your goals.
Faith, Family and _______________. This is a perfect reminder to always put God first for me. Thank you for this. I have always say things like “God is first”, but later on I put things like, work, friends, school, and little distractions first when it should be in the blank line. But, thank you Lord for your love and mercy.
How amazing, I’m so happy for you now that you try and achieve great things in your life and in sports, I’ll definitely be even more happy when you become the best of the world. No doubt you can. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱😁
Wow,, sebuah kesaksian yang luar biasa dari seorang gadis muda yang sedang hidup berjalan bersama dengan Tuhan dalam mewujudkan impian dan masa depannya. Semoga Olivia tetap di dalam cintanya kepada Tuhan sampai dia dewasa, dan menjadi kesaksian yang hidup bagi semua rekan timnya dan para lawannya. Salam dari Indonesia untuk Olivia. Gbu
I’ve always enjoyed soccer and it upsets me when I loose. But I’m glad that in the gospel, we get points and credit for just trying. Thanks for such a powerful message!
Thank you for your inspiring words and example! I know it's not always easy being LDS in Portland, Oregon. I'm proud of you for bringing the light of Christ into the lives of those you interact with.
Good for this girl but there is no way she got this far in soccer without playing on Sunday’s. There was no mention of the Sabbath day at all. What about all those other LDS youth who have decided not to play on Sunday’s and get overlooked all the time? We are promised blessings for keeping the Sabbath day holy but they are hard to see sometimes
That is very inspiring. She does not seem to be interested in any recognition but is just focused on doing better. I felt very inspired by her desire to become better and enjoy it. To pray before each game is really inspiring too! Maybe(and hopefully) the best soccer player in the world one day will be a member of the Church. . .
So Beautiful. Thank You for Sharing. Our Heavenly Father Loves Humanity, Unconditionally. Our Lord and Savior, Equally. Love and Light from The Farm in SE Washington State. P.S...I am 56 years old and I too 'Lettered' in Soccer in High School...Cool.
@Hermie, thank you for your comment! ;) You bring up some very good points about how we can do better. Thanks for taking the time to share your feelings.
Lo que veo es una joven que convive con su familia y es buenísima con la pelota, felicitaciones y gracias por compartir parte de su vida y dar a conocer que la juventud puede lograr éxito siguiendo los principios del evangelio y esforzándose. Saludos desde mi bella Guatemala!!
"You have to fall in love with the process of becoming great." "Soccer may be the most important thing that I do, but it's not the most important thing in my life."
Super cool. This is my game when I was young and being with non-member's friends taught me how to be strong and stay in the covenant path. Glad that setting goals will always lead you to a better thing particularly a spiritual thing.
📿📿📿📿💯💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏📿📿📿📿📿🙏❤️💕🌹I will sing forever of your mercies o lord.Good morning Father I ask you to pray for my mother.

So, say for instance I wanted to have a relationship with this lass. And also say hypothetically she was a member of the church of Latter Day Saints, would I need to convert? Or would it even work at all? As a non-religious person, I was just concerned since she’s, well my everything. Any response, positive or negative is greatly appreciated and accepted. Thank you for your time and mind.
