Oh, it is wonderful!

Hey Yall, Today is the day to talk about the Atonement, I've decided. In our Elder's Quorom in our ward, we talked about the Atonement not only in our own lives, but in the lives of those around us.

People create a forever-long line before the first person is even done speaking. So, here's my thoughts from today: First off, my Dad is pretty awesome. Just throwing that out there. :) I share this with you mostly as a reminder to myself of the most important thing. As a recently returned missionary, young adult, man, brother, son, etc, I can get pretty caught up in a million different reasons to live the Gospel and go to Church. Spending time with friends, singing in the choir, trying to make a good impression or just not wanting to break a pretty good record. There is the most important reason
