This past week my sister, Bethany, and her husband, Graham, we in Utah visiting with Graham's family. On Thursday, Bethany was able to sneak away from his family and visit me after my classes. And yesterday, I was able to spend all day with Bethany, Graham, and a couple of Graham's brothers. It was extremely relaxing and refreshing to be able to spend some time with family, especially with siblings that I don't get to see that often. As they dropped me off at my dorm and we said our goodbyes, I was just filled with an overwhelming sense of gratitude. How lucky I am that I get to spend all of eternity with my amazing siblings and their families.
In "Filling Our Homes with Light and Truth," Cheryl A. Esplin said, "Families are the Lord's workshop on earth to help us learn and live the gospel." This quote often reminds me of how lucky I am to have grown up in such a wonderful home where the gospel was always taught and love was always present. I know that without my family, my amazing parents and siblings, I would not be the person I am today. I am so unbelievably grateful for the role that my family has played in my life, and I am so grateful that I can spend eternity with them. In the words of my genius sister, Sarah, "eternity is a long time to party."
