"Ohana means family"

One thing about my past that I regret, is the relationship that I feel like I had with family. I feel like I could have been so much closer with my family members.

Since I left home, I have been determined to have a better relationship with our family.  I have really tried to call every person at least a couple times a week.  Obviously I don't do a very good job sometimes, but I'm trying! Even if the call is just a short one to tell y'all what happened just now! haha

But since being here, I have really gained a stronger testimony of family. I am so thankful that our Father in Heaven put us into families. I know that we are in families for a reason.  People ask me why I write 7 page letters to Kelli EVERY WEEK.  And they ask why I call my family so often.  My answer? My family are my best friends! I know that my family will always love me.  No matter how obnoxious, immature, silly, or annoying I get.  I am so thankful for our family and for all of the memories that we have to share with each other.

I love you all so much :) And I am so thankful for that being here in Idaho has strengthened my testimony of families :)
