I dedicated a post to my mom a while ago, with promises for a future post for my dad. I've thought about it ever since, and I hope this post does my dad justice!
I am so proud to be his daughter! I can't imagine a family better suited for me. Because of my dad and his heritage, I have a love for so many wonderful things. I love to travel, I enjoy musicals and plays, and I appreciate hard work and the blessings it brings. I am so grateful that I know if I am ever in need, all I have to do is ask for a Father's blessing. Everything is always OK after I hear my dad speak on behalf of my Heavenly Father. He told me once of all the miracles he saw on his mission and throughout his life, there is no way he could ever stray from the gospel and its teachings. That has brought me such comfort that he has such a strong testimony. He told me that years ago, yet I still use it as my own personal anchor. Because I have been so blessed in my life and have also witnessed miracles. To have him remember that helps me to always know everything will be OK.
When I go to when I am feeling discouraged or despaired, he is always the one to see reason in things. He's the buoy that provides advice.
I really appreciate him and all his hard work he endures to support my family and take care of us in any way. I would have to say the trait I admire most is my dad wants to satisfy any need for his family. I think one of his biggest concerns in life is having a happy family. When I say happy, I mean joyful. There is a difference!
I am going to miss my family so much! But I have been advised by many people that my job is to "leave behind" my family affairs and assist in the Lord's great work. It will be difficult, because I love my family more than anything in this world! It will definitely require much help from the Lord. But I know that the Lord provides ways for His work to be accomplished, for He has all power, "even unto the fulfilling of all His words."
Anyway, thank you so much, Dad! I appreciate it so much, more than you know. Thank you for all you've given me, and for being such a support in anything I do, whether I choose to or am asked. I love you!
A picture with the nice Elders that would stand up when we came to the dinner table and would take our trays when we were done. They spoiled us and I loved it! Half of the Elders are going to POCATELLO, IDAHO
A very large group of sisters going to Hong Kong. the darker one without glasses is Sis. Rasiga my companion! She has Sis Peck on one side and Sis Lindsey on the other. Next to Sis Peck is Sis Black, they are my roomies. I LOVE them.
I'll prepare myself while I am young.
