Friendship

Last night Ben and I attended a 138th Ward Family Reunion. We are so glad we went. We were able to reconnect with old friends that we haven't seen in a long time. It was so fun to chat and laugh and see who is married and who has babies. I didn't realize until last night the strength of the friendships that we made in our BYU student singles ward.

I doubt that there are very many student singles wards that can get together every couple of years and have a "family reunion." Bishop Klein really fostered a feeling of family in our ward, and it has blessed all of us. Bishop said something last night that I have been pondering. He said that it is the Gospel of Jesus Christ that has brought us all together.I want to share my feelings and a small testimony on this thought. We all must travel different paths through this life, because we all have a different job to do. But how wonderful it is to know that if we keep the commandments and strive to follow the Savior, all of our paths will eventually lead back to Him. Last night I had a small glimpse of what I think it will be like when we are reunited after this life as brothers and sisters of our Heavenly Father.

To my friends:
Despite the fact that I may not see or talk to some of you very often, I still like to think that we are good friends. I hope you know that I love you. I have loved the fun times we have had together and I look forward to every opportunity that we have to be together in the future. But if those moments are far and few between, know that I am still thinking about you.
