My Faces of Support

I remember this quote from conference awhile back and recently came across it again... Jeffrey R. Holland said, "...Picture the faces of those who love you and would be shattered if you let them down." -- Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul, April 2010 General Conference

These are the faces I picture (especially with my mission)...

My FAMILY. I'm glad we're a forever family. I hope I can help other families become the same: Scott, Becky, Lanae, Andrew, Kevin, Mom, Brian, Adam, Roman, Meija, and Amelia


My very good friend, HANNAH. I swear we knew each other in the Pre-Existence


These great people I met while at DISNEY -- Kimberly, Paul, Jon, and Katie


My roommate, RACHEL. We have lived together my first and last semester at BYUI. She helped me get excited for a mission and now helping me leave on one... She's my perfect book ends to to BYUI ;)


I love these girls. It was so hard to leave them. Winter 2011 roommates -- Sasha, Arisa, Laurie, and Nikki


The great people I met at BYU my freshman year. I don't see them very often, but they were the best I could ask for especially my first time away from home: Katie, Christine, Rebecca, Alexa, Neil, Becca, and Clarissa


And ABOVE ALL...

My Savior, JESUS CHRIST. He has helped me get here and will help me out there and will help me when I'm back. He is my number one face of support. I CANNOT wait to wear the black name tag bearing His name :)


This isn't everyone, but a fraction. Thank you to everyone who composes my support circle. I could not do any of this without you!

It's amazing how many people influence your life when you think about it. I'll miss reading about your life when you leave! Unless someone keeps it up for you...
