Things in our lives...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a quick thought with everyone, there are things in our lives that we should cherish most and I believe that to come down top three things, One is Heavenly Father and the gospel he has given us to live by. Two is our families, and last our friends. I think President Monson said it best in one of his conference remarks when talking about his family and especially his wife.
"Brethren, let’s treat our wives with dignity and with respect. They’re our eternal companions. Sisters, honor your husbands. They need to hear a good word. They need a friendly smile. They need a warm expression of true love."

These times in the world aren't easy and they are only going to get harder. But we are not alone when facing these trials. WE ALL have those 3 things though they may be simple, they can make the biggest difference in the worl. Love this Gospel we have so readily available in our lives, it will make everything that much easier. Love your family for they are the greatest support in your lives, whether husband and wife, mother and son, father and daughter, or brother and sister, without the family, the world would fall apart.

Friends are so important and dear to everyones life especially mine. I am the first of my close friends to be out in the field, but I know if I didn't have their examples... I dont really think I would be out here. Friends and family are so important and Heavenly Father has blessed us all with the ability to have them. Surround yourself with good people, good influnces, those who will influence you to go back and live with our Heavenly Father and our Families for time and all eternity. I love this gospel more and more everyday and know without a shadow of a doubt that it is true, and if we ever need anything the Lord will bless us.
I love you family, and I  love all my friends, I pray for you all everyday, I can't wait to come home and be with all of you again, but there is a work here and this is where I'll be for a good time.

Love,
 Elder Dakota Thomas Anderson
