Happy 4th of July everyone. As I was singing several patriotic songs in sacrament meeting today, I was thinking how truely grateful and blessed I am to live in such a choice amazing country. Nicholas and Andrew say we are so lucky to live in America because we don't have a king like England who makes them do bad stuff and take all of their money, we have a president. They have been watching Robin Hood too many times. After explaining that England actually has a Queen and that their country isn't as bad off as that, I still feel so grateful to my Heavenly Father for allowing me the privilege to grow up in a land full of such wonderful freedoms and comforts. I am also so grateful that I have had the privilege of having the fullness of the gospel in my life and the peace and comfort it gives to me. I am also so grateful for the wonderful family I have been given and for the great strength and support you offer to the boys and I. My heart is so full for the knowledge that I know that I am a choice daughter of a Heavenly Father who knows and loves me, that my Savior lives and loves me. I'm so thankful for the gift of the Holy Ghost which allows me to know the truth of these things. I have been blessed with so much, and just wanted to share with you some of my thoughts as we enbark on another celebration of our countries birthday. May God truly bless America and each one of us.
