shoes
But a lot of those things are material items but there are a few things that if I lost I could not replace fully:
The Holy Ghost- the Holy Ghost is one of my best friends, He knows me completely and He always wants to be with me no matter what and I am the only one that make Him leave. He is my Comforter, my Map, the good feelings I get when I am unsure of a decision I've made.

Joseph Smith- He is the start of Restoration. He had the courage to ask what was right when everyone else didn't believe he could find the answer. He had the faith that there was something better for him, for the world. He had faith that Father in Heaven would answer him. He took the persecution that was thrown at him so I could have the Gospel I need.

The Plan of Salvation- The Plan: Without this plan I would be a complete mess I wouldn't have the faith to go on. I wouldn't have a path for my life and I wouldn't feel as if someone cared but because my Father cares enough for me He made a plan for Me.

Family- My family is my life. The opportunity I have to be with them for eternity is the best thing I could ever ask for. They are the people I love most in this world and because of the Plan I can see them again and eventually for eternity. I am grateful for my future family. They motivate me to be the best person I can be to prepare for them. They motivate me to keep going and I am excited to one day have them for eternity.

Last but definitely not least. My Savior, Jesus Christ.- Christ is the perfect example. He died for us because He loves us. He died because His Father asked Him to and He loved Him enough to give His life for us. He is there always. He suffered for me. So I can have another chance. He gave me the world and the opportunity to overcome the weaknesses that I have. He gave me the opportunity to be the Best Me!

Happy Thanksgiving Friends and Family!

Soon it will be me.

Jade got her mission call today. She's going to Little Rock, Arkansas. I couldn't be more proud of someone as I am tonight. I love Jade so much. She'll be AMAZING and I will miss her like crazy! I'm so excited for you!
