2 Year Anniversary!!

Many people have the privilege of writing about special wedding anniversaries and such, and someday I really hope to be able to do that as well. But, today marks the 2 year anniversary of one small day that led to many more significant moments, memories, lessons, love and laughter that changed my life and helped me to fully realize who I am, where I stand and with whom. This day led to a much fuller realization of the gifts and talents I've been blessed with and how to use them to bless the lives of others. It led to a continuously deepening and abiding love and relationship with my Father in Heaven. This day provided the opportunity to more completely know my brother and Savior, Jesus Christ, and to stand by Him unashamed, trying to be ever grateful and always growing in understanding and application of the atonement. It led to a greater, first-hand knowledge of the plan of happiness that our Father has for us and how everyone in our lives is there for a reason. 2 years ago today gave me the opportunity to more fully appreciate the wonderful eternal family that I have, and strengthened my desire to always have one, and treat them now and for eternity with great love. Going forth on this day placed people in my life and opportunities at my fingertips that taught me to love, and love deeply and eternally, to laugh and not be afraid of your gooberness, and to fully enjoy life through the gospel of Jesus Christ, because "Men are, that they might have joy" (2 Nephi 2:25).





Two years ago today I began my full-time missionary service for Savior of the World through His church on the earth today, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints....the best 19 months of my life so far, which influence is felt every day. I'm grateful that I have the knowledge that the fullness of the gospel is on the earth! I'm so grateful that I know who I am as a daughter of God, and have a personal relationship with Him and my Savior. I'm grateful for the atonement, because I can only do all things through Christ. I know the scriptures are true and there is a living prophet on the earth today! Because of these things I know that families can be together forever. I know also, that the line between family and friends is blurred, and I'm so grateful for all of both in my life, their love, support and examples. I'm grateful for my Savior and the call to serve.
