Love

Im so grateful that I could skype my family yesterday, and that I have such a wonderful example of a mother. Im grateful that much like the 2000 stripling warriors, I don't doubt because of the things my mom taught me. I'm here in the mission because of the example of my parents, and Im so grateful!!

I'm grateful that I have a family who loves me, and that God has shown us how we can live with them forever!! I know that families really are for eternities. It doesn't make sense to only have this life and nothing more, God has a HUGE plan for us. Every single one of us and he's waiting with open arms to show us the way.

Im grateful for all my mom, my grandmas, and all the leaders that have made me who I am today: a little crazy, irreverent, but with the knowledge that God loves me and that Im a child of Him. 

I love you all so much!!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

"My dear young women, with all my heart I urge you not to look to contemporary culture for your role models and mentors.Please look to your faithful mothers for a pattern to follow. Model yourselves after them, not after celebrities whose standards are notthe Lord’s standards and whose values may not reflect an eternalperspective. Look to your mother. Learn from her strengths, hercourage, and her faithfulness. Listen to her. She may not be a whiz at texting; she may not even have a Facebook page. But when it comes to matters of the heart and the things of the Lord, she has a wealth of knowledge. No other person on earth loves you in the same way or is willing to sacrifice as much to encourage you and help you find happiness—in this life and forever.

Love your mother, my young sisters. Respect her. Listen to her. Trusther. She has your best interests at heart. She cares about your eternal safety and happiness. So be kind to her. Be patient with herimperfections, for she has them. We all do." Elder M Russel Ballard
