Everybody comes from a different place with a lot of different trials. You never know what people are going through and it makes the biggest difference to reach out to someone. I know that when I have had really hard times, the smallest things make the biggest difference, and that it is never too late to come back or ask for help.

D&C 123:13-17

No one can stop the light or the love of our Christ. No one can change our love or light of Christ. No one can break us or stop us from staying strong and courageous!

You don't know everything, but you know enough.
Come what may and love it.

Happy Father's Day

My dad and his testimony give me hope.

Happy Father's Day (June 20th)!

"If the restoration is not yet complete, then other traditions have much to teach us. Not by way of confirming, corroborating, or verifying the truths we already have but by way of actually adding to the body of revealed doctrine we call precious and true."  -Terryl Givens

Peace of mind.

Continuing revelation gives me hope.

The promise of an eternity with her is what keeps me going!

Heavenly Father sent me to a world full of green-topped trees,

flowers in sprintime,

back yards, gardens, mountains and streams,

and people to learn about it all with.

Teaching them was the only way the gospel made sense to me.
