Loving family

Today was a mission farewell for a young man in our ward. He spent the entire time crying as he spoke about his family members and how much they influenced him with their good examples. It was a great site to see as he clearly recognized how much help he'd received from his good family. There can't be too many 19 year olds in the world that are so grateful for their family. That speaks to the boy having humility and love, which will help him learn so much faster in life.

What a great experience it is to go on a mission. What a great blessing it is to have a family and that my greatest desire is for my kid to be selfless enough with his time to want to go on a mission and leave his own objectives behind. Only in this church would this be a desire of most members. I am very grateful for what this church naturally pushes us to become.

It is the true church of Jesus Christ. I appreciate the many great examples I find in it, no matter where we live.

Have a great week.
