I am a teacher

It still is strange for me to think about being a college instructor. 

Many times, I still feel like I should be in college myself. 

For the last 6 years, I have spent one night a week teaching at LDSBC. 

It is rewarding to see your students later on and see what incredible things they are doing. 

This happened to be one of my favorite group of students. 

They worked hard. 

They came prepared. 

And pushed themselves. 

I am going to miss them. 

Let's hope the next round of students is as good as them. 

The newest member

Saturday, November 3rd made for a very special day.

Our sweet Sophia made the decision to be baptized. 

I still cannot believe she is old enough to make this decision.  

Her day was filled with love and support. 

Many family and friends.

I am filled with gratitude for days like this that I am overwhelmed with the spirit.

I was so touched watching Sophia be confirmed a member of the church 

and be surrounded in a circle of worthy priesthood holders, who love her so much. 

Refuge from the storm

This last weekend the Brigham City Temple was dedicated.  

What a neat experience to be apart of.  

This is the first temple dedication I can remember going to in a long time.  

The words that were spoken were so inspiring and felt like they were directed towards me. 

I was incredibly touched when they were speaking about the 

journey to the temple doesn't end after you have taken out your endowments.  

It is about continuing to keep those promises.

This world is not an easy place. 

The trials and struggles given to each of us is mind blowing at times. 

I am beyond grateful for my knowledge and 

the love our Heavenly Father extends when we need it the most.  

I have spent many hours at the temple and grounds recently. 

The peace and comfort received while in the temple and on the grounds is unreal and almost indescribable.

I thankful for my Heavenly Father who has made me realize this at a time when I needed it the most.

Brigham City Temple Open House

“The House of the Lord, Holiness to the Lord.”

On our way back from Logan, after the Tyler's half, we stopped by the Brigham City temple open house.

It was absolutely beautiful.

It was a perfect escape from the world, if only it was for just a few minutes. 

I love the peace and comfort you get just from walking on the grounds. 

I'm so grateful for another temple here along the Wasatch Front, to help fulfill the Lords work.

And even more thankful for my family that I get to be with for eternity thanks to these beautiful temples.
