• The gospel is the answer to all of lifes complexities. It brings joy and meaning, comfort and solace, direction and strength


• Missionaries are some to the most amazing people on earth - we still don't feel worthy to be counted with them


• Miracles happen every day, every hour, every minute


• People are wonderful in every location


• The Church will go forward with or without us - we are overwhelmed with the magnitude of goodness and strength it demonstrates on every front


• Families bring sweetness and goodness to life


• Michigan is beautiful in all seasons


• Missionary service is a blessing to body and spirit, brings purpose to each day, and makes us want to do more and become better


• When we're engaged in a worthy cause, the hours and time expended becomes less important than accomplishing the task at hand


• Mail and phone calls from friends and family have never been so appreciated


• Simple things we took for granted have become much more appreciated


• Life is good


• The Lord is very kind to us


• "The task ahead of you is never as great as the Power behind you"
