ferry to my town.
Me and the Lady
too much sun. hurricane sandy left overs. and new york. and me. all in one picture!
Ellis Island
Jersey is pretty.
This week I was able to serve at Liberty Island.
After the hurricane our service at Ellis Island was disrupted and now the
foundation we work with is stationed under the shadow of Lady Liberty. It was
incredible to be there and to realize how much I love meeting people. I love
hearing their stories. I met people from literally all over the world and they
would tell me about their heritage and what brought them to the Statue. While
we were serving I was reminded of the importance of the family. Most of the
people there were on vacation with their family or searching out ancestors who
came through Ellis Island or just wanted to talk about their family in general.
It was fun for me to listen to them and share some of my own stories.
I am so grateful for our Heavenly Father who
created us with such a wonderful capacity to love. I am grateful that He
prepared a perfect plan that allows us to be with our families forever if we
will be obedient to His commandments. I love my family. They’re the greatest
people I know. I am grateful for the lessons I learn from their incredible
examples of faith and trust in the Lord. Keeping them forever is the greatest
blessing. I love teaching others about how they can be with their families
forever.
I live a charmed life.
