GRATITUDE

“He who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious” (D&C 78:19).

My Dad, My Mom, and ME!

I am  grateful for my two loving parents who raised six rowdy kids. I am grateful

 that they took the time to love us. I am grateful

 that my dad taught me how to work hard. I am

  grateful that my mom taught me how to be kind to others. Both of my parents have taught me that

I CAN DO HARD THINGS. 

Rica and I :]

I am Grateful

 for my best friend RICA. I am Grateful

 that we met our freshman year at Utah State and that she is still there for me. I am Grateful

that she helped me find my testimony again. I am Grateful

that she has  taught me the true meaning of what a freind is through her love for me and her example. I am Grateful

 for her. 

My Grandparents backyard last summer after a HUGE storm!

I am gRaTeFuL for the world that was created for us by God through his son Jesus Christ. I am gRaTeFuL for the beauty that surrounds us and for the simple things like rainbows and sunsets. I am gRaTeFuL for the eyesight to see these beautiful things.

To Argentina

I am Grateful that my brother Max and I get to share the experience of a mission together. I am Grateful for the verse of scripture found in the Doctrine & Convenants 30 : 5 that led me to the decision to go on a mission. I am Grateful that I had someone going through the same thing as me at the same time, my brother, my bestfreind. 

To Albania?

''Behold, I say unto you, Peter  SISTER VATERLAUS, that you shall take your journey with your brother Oliver  MAX; for the time has come that it is expedient in me that you shall open your mouth to declare my gospel; therefore, fear not, but give heed unto the words and advice of your brother, which he shall give you."

Doctrine & Convenants 30 : 5
