PARABENS PAI!!!! - (this is last week's blog/email that she didn't have time to send until this week)

Happy birthday to the coolest dad in the world!

I love this quote from Gen Conf about families:

Every family has moments of awkwardness.  Like when your parents ask you to take a “selfie” of them, or when your greataunt insists that you are still single because you are just too picky, or when your opinionated brother-in-law thinks his political view is the gospel view, or when your dad arranges a family portrait with everyone dressed like characters in his favorite movie.  And you get the Chewbacca costume. 

Families are like that.  We may share the same gene pool, but we are not the same. We have unique spirits. We are influenced in different ways by our experiences. And each of us ends up different as a result.  Rather than attempting to force everyone into a mold of our own making, we can choose to celebrate these differences and appreciate them for adding richness and constant surprises to our lives.”

I know that when we accept and even learn to love the things that make us different we will have more peace and we can start to walk the path that Jesus showed us. He loves us ALL. Even the people we can´t stand, he loves perfectly! It´s amazing.. and we can show our love for him by loving our families. Lucky for me, this isn´t hard!! I miss and love my family so much!

P.S.

My dad would never ask me to take a selfie of him because Keith Moon´s selfie game is strong!!! HBD

This is Anderson and he is awesome!  He wakes up all of our investigators for church and they don't get mad!
